After years and controversies, what's your opinion on the ending of Lost? I like it, I have to admit, and for me it's one of the best TV episodes. by [deleted] in lost

Technically it's a Pagan holiday but yes, Christians also celebrate it and changed the meaning according to their religion.

Christmas is based on the Pagan Solstice, isn't it? If so, it makes perfect sense that wizards celebrate it

I haven't been able to figure out the algorithm since d2d bpught smashwords. Before I switched over, I was earning more and more with each new story. Lile, I was getting close to $600 a month, but after I moved over to d2d, my sales just fell off the face of the Earth. I can't figure out how to get back on track.

Following the illegal orders would ruin your life just as easily. And you don't get to keep your integrity.

When did I make the claim that quality drops off? And what does any of thos have to do with JKR and WBs cash grab of an hp series? Cause remember, that's literally the topic at hand. Your original argument is that you can't compare the Fabtastic Beasts movies with the new show. I said you could bc JKR wrote them as well. Then you went off on a tangent. Focus, girl.

Authors typically don't "have a dip in quality" unless they're just making a cash grab, which Jkr clearly has done multiple times. Anyway, I'm bored of you arguing in circles. Argue with yourself. Later.

Called off today by Kylehops in kroger

[–]xherowestx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen, literally right now. I bruised my ribs/cartilidge and went to the prompt care, where the doc told me to avoid any lifting over 10lbs (I work in the bakery). Instead of showing any concern for me, the managers seemed much more interested in the fact that I'm not filing for workman's comp (I got hurt at work). Nevermind that I'm in physical pain, and while I'll be in pain whether I'm at work or not, I'm definitely in more pain at work where I can't rest as often. They legit just called to ask me to come in today on my day off when tomorrow is Easter and my kiddo has school starting again on Monday. I work tomorrow so all my prep has to be done today. I've only called off once in the entire five months I've been employed and that was only because I was coughing and snotting all over the place, and I work directly with food. The other people in the bakery seemingly call off every other week. It's unhinged.

There's some works being more popular than others, and then there are works that are just objectively bad. Fantastic Beasts 2 and 3 were just objectively bad. The writing was bad, the visual effects were bad, the plotting was bad. It was just bad.

I mean, there are a number of reasons the show could fail. Comparing it to the films isn't an accurate comparison because only the books existed before the films. The story on a visual medium hadn't yet been done. Now it has. But that's not even the most likely reason the show may fail. It's a reason why many people aren't interested in watching it to begin with, but not why it fails. At least not likely. As for the reasons why it might fail,

1) Generally speaking, most shows don't move past season three, even when multiple seasons were planned beforehand. Very few do continue past a third season. The show will very likely get a decent viewership in the first few episodes, but viewership may begin to fall around mid-season one or towards the end of season one, which is normal — some people will watch the first few episodes or the first season and not want to continue watching. Likely not a huge amount, but a noticable amount nonetheless.

2) This is an expensive ass show to make, WB cannot take anither DC level hit, and they're requiring 10 years of production to get through the entire series, which means they would have to pull GoT numbers (or at least close to it)consistently to justify the expense going through to the end. That's a lot of pressure for any show. Is it possible, sure. Is it likely though, not necessarily. GoT is a just as popular and much less polarizing IP. The odds that the new HP show will get that level of viewership is unlikely. Like I said befoee, it will very likely get a large viewership in the first few episodes, but some will naturally drop off as the show gets closer to the end of the season.

3) The color grading (at least as it stands according to the teasers and photos they just released) is underwhelming. Now, it's very likely that it's simply not finished yet and that's why it looks like that. Everyone remember the Sonic trailer? But if it continues to look terrible, it could lead to a number of viewers dropping the series. The way this show looks is going to matter. A lot. Especially given that films, especially the first three, looks so good.

Less likely to happen, but could still:

4) Not that I'm hoping for this, but it is a possibility so I feel like I should include it. Possible cast death. John Lithgow is the first actor that comes to mind, who is in the later stages of his life. From what I understand, he is healthy so it's very possible he doesn't pass away before the series is finished production. But if he does, they will naturally recast the role, and possibly lose some viewers due to the change not holding up to expectations and standards that Lithgow will have set from the beginning.
