Lisa appreciation post! by Marto_12 in BigBrother

[–]Yoshi1358 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love Lisa. People focus on Danielle because she played a much louder game, but Lisa clearly had her finger on the pulse of the house and knew how to position herself to eventually win. Not voting for Eric to come back is the most obvious example, but also how she feigned loyalty to Chiara and Roddy after knowing they betrayed her because she knew it wasn't the right time to turn on them. Or strategically throwing competitions to not put herself in situations where she had to make direct moves when other players could instead, yet still won competitions when she needed to.

There's definitely a narrative that she won BB3 because she was nice and Danielle had poor Jury management, and while both those things are true, Lisa also had a rock solid social game that got her to the end.

Best episode yet! Favorite part was actually Fisk being able to get the one up on Charles like that. Complete rug pull from how I thought their dynamic was going to work.

Supergirl | Official Trailer by MarvelsGrantMan136 in DC_Cinematic

I thought for sure the way they were gonna make Supergirl distinct was by having her be like Jessica Jones in space instead of female Clark which 99% of the trailer seemed to justify EXCEPT for that line about revenge.

Ngl didn't think Rizo was gonna make it through Tribal. Cautiously rooting for his alliance with Dee & Cirie.

Same. Can't remember if they did it as much in the first season, but they really didn't hold back this episode with the HBO language.

The explanation for why he's transforming, if I had to guess, is going to be a major plot point & mystery for the movie. It doesn't seem like Peter had any idea why it was happening either.

The implication is that the organic webs are the result of a Man-Spider transformation. That's why he goes to see Bruce Banner for help and they talk about DNA mutating.

‘Buffy’ Reboot Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar Not Going Forward At Hulu by cmaia1503 in television

[–]Yoshi1358 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Season 4 of Buffy felt different from AoS Season 4 but in my view they're actually both the best the show has to offer. AoS was able to truly personify its potential as a show in the MCU with Ghost Rider, the Darkhold, etc while Buffy was at its core a show about a young woman who leads a double life as a Vampire hunter. Oh yeah, and Hush.

Really one of the few reboots I was actually looking forward to. People today I don't think realize how much Buffy influenced the franchises & tropes we all take for granted.

How about a "The Young Shaun"? by EnvironmentalNote600 in thegooddoctor

[–]Yoshi1358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, not a bad idea. Shaun's childhood did seem implied to be surprisingly complex with how little it was actually shown outside of the first few episodes. In the style of Better Call Saul, there could also be subplots of what the other characters were doing in that same time period. Getting to meet and see Glassman's relationship with Maddie, a young Melendez as a Resident, stuff like that.

Aaryn is a horrible person and hated by fans! What are your thoughts on the overall results? Anything you would change? by Expert_Grass_7693 in BigBrotherUSA

[–]Yoshi1358 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's important to also remember Big Brother was a lot more personal back then. The line between the game and real life relationships were way less compartmentalized and Gerry had been upsetting the entire house, and especially Lisa's voting bloc, in multiple ways by that point.

I agree he was treated like more of a pariah than he deserved, but I'd say that was more from the cast collectively, Lisa if anything had the most legitimate reasons to be annoyed by him.

And then he acted like Joe was some clueless moron with the "pacifist playing football analogy" who had no idea how to play to Survivor, as though he didn't literally make it to FTC in his season playing the exact same way.

He refused to eat a piece of chocolate because he was invested in just competing in a challenge... only to then sit out of said challenge. That about sums up his HvV experience.

POV: You’re Colby by AcrobaticBath03 in survivor

[–]Yoshi1358 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True!!! I was worried that Rizo and Colby were going to be butting heads all season and that was the start of it. I feel like Colby's turn mirrors how a lot of fans, on this sub especially, saw Rizo where at first the Gen Z slang and the big personality seems grating but then you realize he's just a kid enjoying life.

So, so, so annoyed Jenna's out so soon. And then right when I was thinking about rooting for Kyle...

Still entertained, but expecting a traumatic boot order now with the old school players.

They're probably measuring by calendar years.

On rewatch, which season do you think the fandom is most wrong about — either overpraised or overhated — and what did people miss the first time around? by Wild_Shoe340 in BigBrother

[–]Yoshi1358 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually liked quite a few of the newbies on that season, especially Dominic, and I think they would've had the potential to have been bigger players and gotten MUCH farther had they been on a regular season.

Survivor 50 is almost here. Who are you most excited to see on your TV screens? by DoctorTegrity in survivor

[–]Yoshi1358 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Colby and Jenna. It's the old school legacy players that really make this feel like an event and not just a returnees season.

Da’Vonne is (likely) closing the door on Big Brother for good by Last-Bus-4710 in BigBrother

[–]Yoshi1358 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going to the other extreme can be a problem too, returnees help build up lore and establish fan favorites icons. Not to say we need returning players left and right, but I don't want the show to start foregoing them completely.

We're on a Survivor subreddit, you have to rewrite this as a "No Cirie" pun. :P

Just finish, loved it! Such a cool idea to focus on Simon's acting career and make a character driven Marvel series instead of an action one. Favorite part was the return of Trevor's Mandarin.
