starry skies above posted:Drug use should be accepted. It's perfectly natural for a human being to alter their consciousness. "Breaking Bad" at the end was making a case against pharmacological freedom by only depicting drug users as negatively as possible. Maybe, but the point is that the show is demonizing drug manufacturers and distributors. They are the real bad guys both in the show AND IN REAL LIFE. Drug use being acceptable in a vacuum is one thing, but the system we have now for obtaining these mind altering substances is not a safe environment. It's like how abortion should be legal, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to go to some underground clinic. The dangers of these underground abortion clinics is one of the big arguments for legalization of abortion. You are essentially saying "you shouldn't show downsides to going to a whackjob with a coathanger because it vindicates the anti Planned Parenthood people". Which is just completely wrong. Maybe try thinking about your arguments before you post them.

Rarity posted:I TOLD YOU For a gay man Ryan Murphy has quite a crush on Lea Michele. Also: No One Writes for Women Better than Ryan Murphy  Lea Michele posted:he’s so incredible at writing characters for women. I’ve had the great honor of being on Glee for six seasons and then having the opportunity to come onto another show and play a totally different character. Ryan’s writing is so progressive and so smart. And as an actor, stuff like that is one in a million. To be on a show with great writing, great characters, and a great cast — honestly, you can’t really ask for anything more. I’ve said this for many years now: Ryan is the present and the future of television. He, in this current moment, is knocking it out of the park with all of his shows and continuing to be innovative and smart. And yet, you don’t even know the incredible things that he has under his sleeve. Anybody would want to be where the innovation is growing and creating, and that’s where I want to be. I want to be right where it’s happening. And Ryan Murphy is where it’s happening. So I consider myself incredibly blessed and lucky to know him, and to be part of the Ryan Murphy family.

Drug manufacturers and distributors, when they are non-violent, should be depicted as capitalist heroes and as people merely taking advantage of market conditions. They may be good or bad, like any business people, but uniformly depicting them as bad is pure propaganda especially when the regulatory and legal system that allows these people to flourish in the first place goes unexamined. Walt and Pinkman are enterprising fellows who provide people with a good that was unjustly denied to them. Depicting these two, and their customers, as bad or morally compromised because of their transactions plays into the hands of drug prohibitionists.

It's almost like the entire loving show was about a guy trying to be a non-violent drug manufacturer and how that didn't work. There were no non-violent drug distributors in the show. By all means, prove me wrong and show me some examples of meth distributors that aren't linked to violent crimes. Probably there ARE some that exist, but that's not what the show is about. You're right, the show depicts production, distribution, and consumption, of crystal meth as a bad thing. If you don't like that, it's not a show for you. edit: I am done feeding the troll.

Does it stay good/get better/have anything interesting to say? corn in the bible posted:<wham moment> Goddammit, I hate that you saw that, that's the nuclear option...well, it was until season 2, but the whole first season was building up to that moment, and I wouldn't have dropped that unless you were really skeptical about the show. Because it's still effective when you know it's coming (especially in the context of the episode), but when it hits you with no warning like it did me? gently caress. But anyway, yeah, as you can see, BoJack has a lot of interesting poo poo on its mind. It's a strong exploration of depression and loneliness that also happens to be a clever absurdist comedy.

Does it stay good/get better/have anything interesting to say? It gets better, it depends on what you want it to say as to whether it says anything, but it's a comedy so does it need to say something? Just watch it. The first season is kind of a grower, but if it gets its hooks into you it's great. SUCK A DICK DUMBSHIT! I'm kind of sad I missed the dogpile on "responsible meth use" jackass because I can actually make a lot of good points on why he's a dumb jackass. Cest la vie. Talk about missing the forest for the trees, dumb guy who got probated.
