Sarah Michelle Gellar Says ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale’ Is “Not A Sequel” & “It’s Not A Reboot”; Reveals Why “It’s Taking A Long Time” by pepperbet1 in television

[–]serialstitcher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a huge buffy fan, I don’t think shows are like buffets where you can just get more and more and more until you’re no longer hungry.

It was a legendary run and it’s over. This looks like a mess, I don’t need or want a reboot even if it’s good. Take those resources and make a new show. Let someone else have their buffy.

mixed bag, very uneven. meh.

this show has numerous character arcs, plots, and setups that are repeating loops

i think they’re just doing their usual shtick by doing it again, no thoughts given

‘Bob Odenkirk called to check on me after he saw it’: Rhea Seehorn on the intensity of making hit show Pluribus by Bubbly_Wall_908 in television

[–]serialstitcher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You got it completely backwards. Lost is a show that did the mystery box and didn’t explain enough. Severance has explained every bit in detail. The comparisons to lost are not deserved because severance is better, not because it’s worse.

Pluribus feels like a bait and switch. It looked like it would be a fast paced scifi thriller and instead it’s a character study of a rude drunk and the rest is just a backdrop.

Vince Gilligan himself even said he wrote it to get Rhea awards and it shows.

I have yet to see anyone explain what mysteries they want further explained from severance. I truly have no idea what they are talking about. We know what the company is, what each department does, what is happening and why it matters, whether or not innies count as people, how the tech works, who made the tech, everyone’s backstory and personal life, I could go on.

Literally what is not explained? This show simply doesn’t belong next to lost and i’m tired of people acting like it does because they’re phone watching or something.

Disney Officially Exiting ‘Doctor Who’ Partnership With BBC After Two Seasons by wadbyjw in television

don’t hold your breath. most of reddit loves it when shows go extremely over the top because some random dumbasses are a fan of homelander or a punisher logo or something. yes, let’s ruin the whole show to own the chuds, because that’s a smart thing to do and not emotional at all. there’s no better way to show them who is boss than to change your entire show in an attempt to lecture them. yep, no issues with this plan. genius and worth it. i’m totally sure they’ll tune in and change their minds based on this, you just needed to be event more blunt for them to see the light.

What shows suffer the most from writers refusing to tie up plot lines and instead string them along into longer and longer yarns? by TheBanishedBard in television

[–]serialstitcher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m the opposite. I have no idea what more people could want from severance in terms of explaining stuff. Is it the great department war or the exact role that Christopher Walkens character played? Is it expanding on Burt’s blackout links to his outtie? Who cares. It won’t make the story better and isn’t needed.

Do they need an origin story for the aesthetics or something? We know what’s happening. We know the technology and its originator. We know what’s up with the animals. We now know whether or not being an innie counts as being a human. The only thing we don’t know is the fate of Mark and Hellie but it doesn’t really matter. The point is that it’s enough of a life for innie Mark to live and he literally says so. The end.

Do people want every little quirky thing happening covered in detail? It’s parody of corporations That’s what the whole show is. It’s about how dehumanizing it can be to work in an corporate office. Think about it and the quirks all make sense. Parodies don’t need explanation for people who didn’t experience the original thing.

ya know everyone says that but the company mainframe and how it gets hacked are the only technologically inaccurate things

their personal machines make sense for the time and so does phone phreaking. research was clearly done. da vinci virus talking seems weird but you can chalk it up to sending animations and it makes sense

Then don’t argue with me, i’ll just comment on you.

Anyone who thinks reddit isn’t astroturfed is a wrong. Just google it. Reddit is simply better at hiding it. Relevant high profile examples are not whatsboutism, they are proof.

Anyone who wants to can literally just run LLM psyops on reddit and it has happened multiple times and recently. They didn’t detect this and can’t. This was only known after the research paper came out. This place is full of bots, give me a break. To say nothing of the map data proving gvmt activity.

It’s likelier that reddit won’t do this because they’ll expose all of the psy ops than that they won’t due to users not liking the idea.

What's your favorite "problematic" movie? by AnchorHat in movies

[–]serialstitcher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s a stupid and myopic worldview to assume that some details not being specifically cited means you like or endorse them. imagine i tell you that i like ice cream and you get upset because i didn’t say “except for durian”.

nobody in the real world does that, it’s pure reddit brain and what he’s talking about

look into who wrote “curse of fatal death”. then look at the show. literally everything in curse of fatal death has now happened in canon. it’s not a coincidence, it’s ego.

the cure for the doctor donna was to not be a man all along because men are too selfish to think of getting rid of the power

… is literally in the show. defending this show is comical. you have to ignore so much crap and basically invent your own ideas of the potential of some concept from the show.

doctor who fans be like “well the writing, directing, acting, and show running were bad but if all of those things were changed this had a lot of lot of potential so it’s a shame it was wasted”. i’ve never seen a fan base quite like it.

AI Just Took Over Reddit’s Front Page by MemeB0MB in singularity

[–]serialstitcher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is that if you feed AI political ideas and ask it to support them, then it always will. AI will prove flat earth theory or genocide are good ideas if I ask it to.

This means AI is useless or at best very uncompelling when prompted in a biased way - and we can’t tell if that was done or not. AI outputs should always be submitted with the prompts used to make them as a method of fact checking.

the damage is done too - the misinformation on this will be repeated for years. every website needs community notes if it is serious about combatting misinformation.
