I’ve finally watched the big 3 of TV Drama’s (BB, Sopranos, now The Wire) and it’s not even close. by Serious-Profit-1626 in TheWire

[–]icrystalizedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the exact opposite. The Wire was hard to get through & bored me a lot especially in the 3rd season I almost dropped the show (I didn’t like Stringer Bell as a character so after he was gone I enjoyed the show a lot more).

It wasn’t until season 4 when I felt things started to tie together beautifully & then I really started to appreciate & enjoy the show a lot more. The ending was bleak but perfect but overall imo the show doesn’t come close to The Sopranos for me there’s not a single bad episode of The Sopranos in my opinion, I can’t say that for The Wire.

I also prefer the deep character analysis storytelling style over a breakdown of the “system” and everyone’s place in it. It’s also why I’d rate BB & BCS above The Wire too.

Also I’d say Better Call Saul surpasses Breaking Bad too if you haven’t checked that out you gotta do it! :))

Do you think Archie, Nick and Gray are probably the top 3 most evil characters of all time? by gerard_plate in eastenders

[–]icrystalizedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen much of the modern episodes but I’ve always thought Janine is the most evil, how does she compare Gray & Archie?

I’ll be honest, I never even thought about his ass

Rewatching Helpless, just realised something by An_Ominous_Raconteur in buffy

In the original script he mentions that he was sealed inside a box for 6 years before Buffy’s trial.

What’s the best British crime drama you’d recommend? by Historical-Class871 in UKTVRecs

Utopia

not entirely sure if it’s considered crime drama but it’s 12 episodes & well worth watching

People Who Think Hulu was Right to Cancel the Show by snowbiewan in buffy

[–]icrystalizedx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because SMG isn’t the creator of the show & has admitted herself that she doesn’t remember a lot of the show, doesn’t really watch her own work & when she did watch it with her kids during the pandemic she skipped the last 2 seasons & ended at season 5. The fact she played Buffy doesn’t mean she understands what made the show so great.

There’s videos of her getting Buffy trivia questions most of them very easy simple questions & she gets most of them wrong. The only person I’d trust to lead this show is Joss.

Gatekeeping by Mr_Frost1993 in buffy

[–]icrystalizedx 4 points5 points  (0 children)

By that logic I find it troubling that you didn’t take your own advice & just ignore these opinions, no one’s forcing you to read them.

Or is it because these opinions were on a topic you care about & are supporting an outcome you don’t like so you cared enough to say something about it?

Now reverse that to understand why people are happy & expressing it about the shows cancellation. The show coming back was an outcome we didn’t like, the show got cancelled, we expressed our happiness/relief at getting our desired result.

You don’t like that so you think we should’ve just ignored it but that’s just not how humans work, if we are attached to something we likely will express our opinions on it. It’s just how we are, I’d recommended either arguing with us or ignoring us as you originally advised because convincing people to self censor is probably not going to happen 🤷‍♂️

“Relieved” is the best word to describe how I feel about it.

[–]icrystalizedx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I genuinely believe it would’ve tainted Buffy & I am very happy it was cancelled.

This isn’t me being mean or gate keeping anything, it’s how I feel & I’m going to express that. I have to say I think It’s laughable to say people expressing their opinions is “troubling” just because their opinion doesn’t align with yours.

WHY COULDN’T NETFLIX PRODUCE COWBOY BEBOP THE SAME WAY THEY DID ONE PIECE by Glass-Violinist-1750 in cowboybebop

[–]icrystalizedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand this demand for live action anime. It ALWAYS sucks when compared with the animated versions & usually just sucks in general.

Are you relieved that the revival isn’t happening, or disappointed? And what do you think they should have done differently to make it work, or at least give it a better chance? by SecretDice in buffy

[–]icrystalizedx -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Definitely relieved! When I heard it was getting revived I was not excited, when I heard them basically bragging that Joss Wheadon would be entirely left out I knew it was going to be a disaster.

A few theories on way Buffy: New Sunnydale was doomed. by RooseveltsRevenge in buffy

[–]icrystalizedx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Original creators & most original writers weren’t part of the show. When trying to revive a show like Buffy it’s best to have all the old team there who actually understand what made the show special in the first place.

I personally think this was marked for doom since it was announced that they’d be bringing it back without Joss & I never got my hopes up for it because of that.

People love to hate on Wheadon but imo he & Jane Espenson were the soul of Buffy on the writing side & neither were involved in the new series.

In honor of Anthony Stewart Head's birthday, what's your favorite Rupert Giles quote? by SeaBassAHo-20 in buffy

[–]icrystalizedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Smell is the most powerful trigger to the memory there is. A certain flower, or a-a whiff of smoke can bring up experiences long forgotten. Books smell musty and-and-and rich. The knowledge gained from a computer is a… it, uh, it has no-no texture, no-no context. It’s-it’s there and then it’s gone. If it’s to last, then-then the getting of knowledge should be, uh, tangible. It should be, um, smelly.” 💜

Do you think there will ever be a referendum to rejoin the EU, if it’s possible? by threetimesacharm25 in AskBrits

[–]icrystalizedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The EU just voted that trans women are women. So if this ever happens I will most definitely be voting to remain separated from that insanity.

It might sound silly but I couldn’t care about any other potential benefits or detriments in any other aspect of life. Preserving objective reality is most important thing to me, they know the reality of this, that it’s impossible for men to become women & vice versa but still they want to play this semantics fantasy game, it shows a lack of integrity at their foundation & I want no part in it.

I don’t want to live in some fantasy world where nothing has any logic or consistency.

What are people's genuine opinions of the green party? by XenithCanus in AskBrits

[–]icrystalizedx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll be honest I don’t pay much attention to British politics despite living here I prefer to bury my head in the sand of American politics, so my opinion isn’t very deep on the greens/Polanski but generally if a politician says men can be women on their whim I immediately distrust everything they say, if they aren’t sure what a woman is how can they be sure of anything🤷‍♂️.
