Some quotes should be left where they were found
I was pretty keen on them shaking up the status quo, don't know how much they ended up doing that
I really need to catch up with the last two seasons of the Futuramas
I think they might try some zombie-stuff with the Simpsons, if not a spinoff then some specials or something to gauge interest
Feels like you're setting me up for a political joke.

But IDK, there's good jokes in the (now) middle stretch of the show, lot of people got jobs
Then again I really don't rate the film
Wonder if they'll call it quits or soft-retire with this new movie
Also the Crazy Ex Girlfriend finale is pretty predictable and maybe a bit cowardly? That one I don't feel so strongly about
the ending of Malcolm in the Middle is so stupid
I didn't rewatch it or anything I just saw a thumbnail of it but it is so stupid
I naively think you could probably make it as good as you could then (I mean, basically by a total overhaul of the writers)

but yeah, I lean Scully-did-it-in too, there's a marked, immediate shift as soon as you get to his era in terms of quality of jokes, plots, and also the amount of gay jokes
Though not as I recall as bad as like 22?
Supposedly it's gotten good again I refuse to verify or believe this
It's not very specific really, it's much like Simpsons season 14-18 but worse
But sideways, despite all the reboots and whatever, some kind of live-action Scooby Doo TV show (or Dooby Scoo with the names filed off) seems like an open-ended stream of possibility
I'm liking this under general principle, I have virtually no recall of any Futurama episodes between the (Old) New Futurama's holiday special and and Meanwhile. My memory is just that it was all very Simpsons season 19 overall
Oh, Dublin is broken out in these maps that makes much more sense
Quark is used as the Unlikely Mouths Spake Truths a bit, the other one which is laughably incoherent is when he claims Ferengi never did Wars because they're too into Profit
Every story about NV on DS9 just has her just knowing way more ball than anybody else
And who knows what radical new format the new spinoff about the guy who owns a comic book store will take? Back to the laugh track? Away from it again? Anything is possible

The Frankenstein Family are simply not Good People
I probably prefer 2-3 to Angel 5, but the moves they pull in that final season are some pure TV-stuff, just exciting shake-ups
For Buffy I'm probably one of those boring people who find s3 the best, but I could do with a full rewatch
I forget what "soft" is in Sanderson's terms, but the key difference is some mix of expectedness, predictability and availability: there is some thematic, invisible pattern to Tolkien's magic that matches the story's content, whereas in S the limits are in the text, right
Right - there is a higher law that both hard magic and Tolkien-style numinous mystery magic has to obey which is, it has to make the reader feel something other than annoyance
Ofc you've seen a ton of stuff influenced by the Buffy turn and aren't a teenager or child, so difficult to get that same buzz from it
Yeah, S1 of Angel is hm, I have fondness for it but I would say it is it's (and Buffy's) most pablum and rote? S2, particularly the middle stretch really felt like a big notch up. Though I nostalgically prefer Angel, I think Buffy's more clearly the superior product
How are you finding Buffy/Angel by the way? (it comes up on Serializd)
yeah it's called the Baltics
(I don't know about the German and Polish data here though)
I think I can see what you're going for, but then joining any mass movement (publically) is a kind of signalling then no?
I wouldn't call it signalling but ideological reasoning (which I share) since you think there's strength in unions due to ideological commitments
I think this is part of what makes it for sure the most Interesting origin, except maybe your wild idea that they're all Maiar
