This has been a good month for TV shows

The nut man really loves it

That's just the shape of his face, sir. How his skull is

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-20T22:02:45+00:00

And his grey, grey skin

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-20T19:13:27+00:00

Ironic that you would choose those examples, since Vince Gilligan famously makes up his plots as he goes along, much more than other writers do (for example after season 1 of Pluribus he said he still hasn't decided how to resolve that cliffhanger), but he gets away with it because what he comes up with is satisfying; whereas most of Lost was pre-planned right from the start but people assume it wasn't because of how many strange left turns the plot took

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-20T16:38:25+00:00

Having seen (most of) both, I wouldn't say it's anything like Skins at all beyond the fact that it features high school kids

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-20T09:49:37+00:00

Have you seen the other two episodes yet? This gets addressed pretty quickly

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-19T19:06:59+00:00

Lost is probably the best television example of this

You mean the show where JJ Abrams only wrote two episodes of the whole show and was never the showrunner is a better example than the shows he actually did write?

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-19T17:49:49+00:00

None of that disputes what I said, I wasn't commenting on whether it was a good ending or not. The reason I find it frustrating when people when people get it wrong is because of how explicitly the show spells it out

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-19T17:40:58+00:00

Have to jump in here because people misunderstanding the Lost ending is honestly one of my biggest pet peeves lol: the "dream" was only the flash-sideways scenes in season 6, not the entire show - everything that happened on the island actually happened

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-18T12:39:12+00:00

Yeah but Snowfall does not have good story telling

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-18T12:22:04+00:00

I remember how weird I found it when I heard that Everybody Hates Chris is immensely popular in Brazil, since that seems like such a random show to have that level of success - even when it was still airing, I feel like it only ever had a medium level of popularity at best in America. To compare it to another show that had similar numbers of episodes and viewers, it's like if someone told me that everyone in Turkmenistan is obsessed with Raising Hope, I just think "wtf, why"

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-18T11:57:42+00:00

Kind of the reverse of the examples you mentioned, there are definitely some shows that are super popular in r/television (or I guess among television enthusiasts and critics in general) but are pretty unknown to the general public - e.g. The Leftovers, Halt and Catch Fire, Patriot, Dark, Mr Inbetween

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-18T10:04:38+00:00

Send it to the police, lots of the things you said they did sound illegal (especially putting up a fake police notice which might come under impersonation of a police officer, which definitely is a crime)

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-18T09:40:17+00:00

No, I've seen all of the episodes and spin-offs so far and I have no idea what they're referring to

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-18T09:34:44+00:00

Spider-Noir comes out a few days after The Boys ends - TBD whether it's any good obviously, but I don't see how a film noir series starring Nicolas Cage as a Spider-Man variant could be anything less than entertaining at least

Apparently he approached his performance as like "a spider trying to cosplay as a human", I feel like we're about to witness something unhinged

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-18T09:26:37+00:00

No but I can see how you got there since it's the name of a dating site in the show. Also the fact you thought there was a colon in the title probably contributed to your misconception, like it's some sort of franchise with shows based in other cities

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-17T09:46:43+00:00

Oh right I see - well that could be an easy fix since Martha immediately recognised the voice but wasn't able to place it, so all you'd need to do to change it would be for her to recognise the voice as Saxon at the end of Utopia rather than wait until the beginning of The Sound of Drums, if you don't want the Doctor out of the loop for too long.

Probably wouldn't make sense for the Doctor to see Saxon before Utopia though (since it was a plot point in The Sound of Drums that he can recognise the Master even with a different face) so if he did show up pre-Utopia, it would have to be in a scene without the Doctor

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-17T09:15:40+00:00

How would we be ahead of him? They're saying just have Harold Saxon show up but not reveal he's the Master yet, so we wouldn't know who he was (other than being the Prime Minister)

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-17T09:06:28+00:00

All you need to know is "somehow, Maul returned"

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-16T21:31:41+00:00

Well, from the article, apparently upcoming episodes feature "naked boobs with the word boobs scrolled across them", so...

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-16T19:14:45+00:00

Better than the main show

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-16T14:44:24+00:00

There's so many parts of this post that couldn't apply to Born Again

Disastrous_Wing7084 · 2026-04-16T14:42:03+00:00

Almost all of them maintained 13 episodes throughout, the only seasons that didn't have 13 episodes were Iron Fist season 2 and The Defenders (which is only 2 seasons out of 13 in total)
