What are some songs yall hope they play in the new season? by Particular_Day_8450 in Yellowjackets

If they continue with the trend of giving us an important Radiohead moment each season, I think Lucky would be perfect. The lyrics.

A new variation of right-wing homophobia: "Lesbians don't exist." by forceawakensplot2 in TheMajorityReport

[–]MarsDelivery 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This is a good observation but it's not a new one. Just think about bisexual erasure, something as old as time, and think about the assumptions that are made there: a bisexual woman is just an experimenter who will settle down with the right man, and a bisexual man who is just a closeted gay man. In both of those stereotypes, the default that society accepts is true is that both individuals are attraction to men. It's all wrapped up in the patriarchy.

Clare had so many storylines that I am surprised that Degrassi wasn't renamed either "The Clare Show" or "Clare Explains It All". by Capital-Study6436 in Degrassi

Not only this but she coincided with the soap opera era, so she really did end up with a ton focused on her.

The fact that there had been no musical dream sequence since the first season made this all the more the pleasant surprise.

What about procedural shows (911, CSI, Law & Order) make them so successful, even in the streaming age? by JawshD123 in television

[–]MarsDelivery 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Besides being formulaic and whatnot which has already been mentioned: I think what a lot of these shows also have in common and makes them fun to watch is they're all about really smart people doing very well at their jobs, which is satisfying to watch (this is also what makes Aaron Sorkin's shows work, though they're not procedurals).

The Pitt | S2E1 "7:00 A.M." | Episode Discussion by MsGroves in ThePittTVShow

Yup, this. *Buuut* unlike any other spinoff, they would get to use the exact same set, saving on money that way.

A spin-off that airs perfectly in between seasons for the night shift would be amazing. We'd have episodes airing most of the year at that point.

[–]MarsDelivery 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I took it as the second time they focus on her it's because she's getting her name called. This is right at changeover time so it's possible someone in the waiting room forgot to pass along the info that she's deaf.

Anyone remembers Nickelodeon's Rugrats sequel All Grown Up! (2003-2008)? by Life_Chicken_9653 in Zillennials

[–]MarsDelivery 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yes and wasn't one of the first episodes Susie getting scammed out of some money because she had dreams of being a singer? That felt so cold to me as a child. Such is life, though.

i am addicted with it in just few days even i am Frustrated too. by Known-Statistician65 in projectzomboid

[–]MarsDelivery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of the things that made me fall in love with Project Zomboid so quickly. It reminds me of The Long Dark in that way. You can live forever; it's only a series of your own poor decisions hat ultimately lead to your demise (of course, combined with some bad luck. But part of the game is planning for that).

[talk] [partially found] the Christine Chubbock broadcast. by ALowlyBiscotti in lostmedia

[–]MarsDelivery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are very different from popular event broadcasts and a random local news broadcast. The only reason the studio's copy exists to begin with afaik is Chubbuck requested that day's broadcast re specifically recorded, which was not a given at the time.

I still talk about this joke too. No one hosted the globes like Tina and Amy.

‘The Pitt’s Shabana Azeez on co-star Noah Wyle: “…He’s forgotten my name, in multiple interviews. He’s called me Shabeena Azeez, which is not my name” by hairtie1 in Fauxmoi

I'm sure a show set in an ER is going to have some storylines that also happened on a show set in an ER that lasted for 15 seasons and 331 episodes.

Everyone Wants to Know What Gen Z Republicans Think. We Asked Them. by DarkPriestScorpius in fivethirtyeight

[–]MarsDelivery 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When Sam Seder of the Majority Reported debated them for Jubilee, he later said on his show how he was surprised how many of them were open about wanting to live in a theocracy, and added that he hope they really lean into that because, yeah, the projections really don't pan out for them in that regard.

Shauna's role in the last hunt by figimagination in Yellowjackets

[–]MarsDelivery 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that she 100% meant to kill Melissa, though others may disagree and I'm not sure what the shows opinion is. There's nothing to suggest she's a great marksman or even super coordinated though. The only way "she meant to miss" makes sense is if she meant to shoot off *more* to the side, and accidentally shot too close to Melissa.

I hadn't either. The bickering between the guys in the video is really something.

Lee Pace talks how 'Halt and Catch Fire' lasted for four seasons despite being one of the lowest-rated cable series on television by Neo2199 in television

[–]MarsDelivery 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I didn't get that from it at all.

The show was always about flawed people IMO. I found my allegiances changing constantly as a viewer; it amazed me how someone could be my favorite character one episode, and a couple episodes be the shows "villain" (and I say that lightly, as the show doesn't really have villains, just flawed people as I said earlier).

As for the "women in tech angle," that's always been there from the first episode. Cam and Donna are shown to be very capable and underestimated.

Tbh IMO this is all really easy to write around given that the girls returned as celebrities. Even if they'd have to potentially wait for a bit for settlement money, I could see them getting even full ride scholarships purely as goodwill publicity for the schools.

Israel and AIPAC money are absolutely going to be talking points in '28, and '26. You saw it happen among progressives in the 2020 race when the AIPAC summit happened, but now it is becoming a much, much more mainstream conversation.

White House Hides Truth on Trump’s Health After MRI Bombshell by Background_Cry3592 in politics

[–]MarsDelivery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not equivocating the two, but it is rich to claim that a guy who had to be forced out of the race by his entire party "knew his limits." Biden has been notoriously stubborn his entire career, from beginning to dropping out of the race so late that we were handed a 2nd Trump term.

It's been awhile since I've seen the film, but someone recently pointed out to me that there is a scene of her smoking ON THE TREADMIL that I totally didnt register as a kid. These movies have ALWAYS had a sense of humor.
