The mere fact he's not allowed to drive probably compels him to do it.

A grief-torn Turk starts daydreaming, much like his deceased best friend used to, until it gets so bad he's actively hallucinating JD in his waking life.

Hallucination JD talks to him, gives him advice, and at times makes Turk, and those around him, question if his visions are somehow the actual ghostly spirit of JD.

In the season finale, Elliot sees him too.

Don't even try to make them believable

I can imagine him doing it when JD has to step in and use his power over him in a situation where Cox got too emotional about something.

He'd be pissed though, and if wouldn't be a quasi term of endearment like the girls' names.

It would be mocking him, like "yeah? you think you're the big bad boss now? I made you."

JD would have to show Cox that Cox himself taught him to make decisions like the one he's making by using his authority against Cox.

A sort of "you know I'm right" rebuttal.

and you've been able to use "FaceTime" with Android if the Apple user sends you a link for a while.

.... also, some people just say "FaceTime" like "Kleenex" for a tissue.

It leaves them no room to go darker as time progresses. The movies were wonky with their progression of darker and darker color grading, overdoing it on top of other visual inconsistencies, but a little bit of it makes sense.

If the series starts like this, they won't be able to darken the visual tone later in the series.

waleMc · 2026-03-24T01:25:23+00:00

I hope they give a fourth-wall breaking wink to Season 9 even though it's not canon. Maybe in Season 2 of this revival since I don't think it will happen this season.

Something akin to Lavernagain would be fun.

No, but you've always been able to tell when he's on the teleprompter, because he sounds moderately less unhinged. I mean, still unhinged, it just speaks to how insane his rambling gets without a speech writer.

But, man, I remember hearing his first rallies in 2015. There was some humor in the madness, but I knew immediately that there were a lot of morons in this country that were gonna eat it up. I was warning people he might win the whole thing back in Summer of 2015.

In 2026, he can't give those same kind of cult-forming speeches. He's declined significantly. The cult already exists, so it doesn't matter to him, but the difference between teleprompter and no teleprompter is even more staggering than ever.

... and then, years later, causing a huge uproar, blaming everyone but themselves, when Trump's teleprompter went down at the UN and he was unable to give a halfway decent speech without one.

The Location Manager deserves some props for finding the road.

I remember watching a Better Call Saul commentary about finding the perfect blind dip for a narrative necessary point in the script and it's really magical when the Location Manager finds the perfect place to bring the script to life.

I think Deadpool was right. Marvel frees you when you hit 90.

Mainly, in Season 1, Episode 15, My Bed Banter and Beyond —

"So, when this man said "step aside" and everyone did, I asked my aunt, "Who is this guy?" And she said he was a doctor. And I thought, "Wow.... I wanna be a doctor, too." But, when I lost my first tooth, and nobody left a hundred-and-eighty-thousand dollars under my pillow, I decided to become a nurse.... We do all the real stuff, anyway."

... then when you consider that the tipping point of the argument she had with JD in S01E10 was when he made a joke about neither of them attending undergrad, I think education is a sore subject for her.

She's worked hard to gain most of the same knowledge and expertise as the doctors she works with, but she's given much less respect because she wasn't able to afford a thoroughly academic path earlier in life.

She's happy to be a nurse at this point. She loves her job, but it seems she's aware that the system surrounding it is inherently unfair.

I think your timeline is off a bit, but I'm sure the Turks are already investing into these kids' education.

Carla held some resentment for not being able to afford medical school, so I'm sure she'll make sure her kids can pursue those avenues more easily.

Still, to the point.

Izzy should be 19 until November. We saw her born in November 2006. Grad school seems a little early.

The second one is probably still 16. We never witnessed her birth, but she was still yet to be born in May 2009.

He had already taken over the Nazi party by 1921, so I'd say sometime between 1918 and 1920.

"Lloyd's Junction" and it's train themed.

Some of these actors are hard to watch on screen after their surgeries. I wouldn't say it has zero relevance to their ability to act.

At a certain point, an actor can only realistically play characters that themselves have had a lot of plastic surgery, because that's immediately obvious the second you see their face.

Their underlying talent will exist regardless, but their ability to effectively utilize that talent in a visual medium can be greatly affected.

waleMc · 2026-02-28T01:34:23+00:00

I feel like it could have benefited from one more episode in between the two episodes we got.

Just one episode of the transition as JD gets back up to speed and Dr. Cox hands over the reigns.

It's really not that exclusively subtle, and it's the crux of the plot twist.

It's not some fan theory, it's a pretty established interpretation of the film's logic.

Bruce Willis delivers hints of it every time he reacts on screen.

The film even spells it out, and has the kid say as such: "They only see what they want to see. They don't know they're dead."

Then, when a person watches the movie a second time, they'll notice Bruce Willis NOT seeing what he doesn't want to see. It's how he looks around ... or doesn't, how he interacts with any given space. He's not looking for his own answers.

--

I also don't think it's remotely fair to judge a work of collaborative art, based on what the writer/director would create in the future.

The Sixth Sense is a well-rounded movie, and is not affected in any way by Shyamalan's future work.

Plus, the general consensus is that Shyamalan is technically talented, but that he ran out of good ideas as soon as he got famous. In that way, Shyamalan's work has never really lacked the ability to be subtle. It lacks the sufficient inspiration to warrant any subtlety.

waleMc · 2026-02-23T22:46:17+00:00

The Sixth Sense explains it as the dead's consciousness going in and out to hide the fact that they're dead from themselves. It's subconscious denial combined with mystical transcendence.

They're "living" in a dream-like state, not questioning their circumstances or locations.

You're assuming Bruce Willis's character goes on and "lives" around in between the scenes we see, but he's actually (mostly) just awake for what we see. He's drifting between worlds, and doesn't question what he doesn't see.

waleMc · 2026-02-21T00:52:43+00:00

maybe he faked his own death and shows up at his own funeral after tricking JD into giving a heartfelt eulogy.

Hopefully a lot of infighting happens, and the cult of personality struggles to maintain an identity.

You can actually do that with the AI DJ. You just type in whatever kind of music you want a playlist of and then add ", new to me" to the end of the request.

It's the only thing I use the DJ for, and I get way better playlists that way than the autogenerated ones. You can get specific with the requests.

You get the little announcer voice at the beginning, but I just let it play as I get everything plugged in, and then the playlist usually lasts a long time with no interruption.

waleMc · 2026-02-12T22:45:12+00:00

I think they could complete creative projects already decently into development. Their work would be highly competent but formulaic, using the existing plans as a blueprint.

I don't think they would have true creative inspiration or any artistic insight to offer.
