I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Watching Patriot Act because the AV Club praised it, and I have to agree with them that Hasan Minhaj just seems incredibly good at this. I'm only a few minutes in, but it's great so far for no other reason than him. I haven't gotten really into one of these shows since Jon Stewart left The Daily Show, either.

Really liked the Saudi episode. The other one not so much. It was just fine.

I've probably made that post too many times but since season 4 isn't up for streaming yet I think I can get a few more miles out of it.

It's like a deliberate attempt at making avent garde art in the form of anime. The original source material is bleak and dark as hell which made it famous at the time, but in 2018 this take on "God isn't actually good" has been done to death and trying paint a coat of deep, meaningful philosophical thought over gross out violence porn doesn't really work.

There are many good prequels and it's dumb to generalize one way or the other.

That said, this will suck a lot because it's Game of Thrones-related.

It's also genuinely really, really loving good and might be legit the best and most important piece of Christian art in easily a century

It's just Christian art that's filled with hosed up Cronenberg monsters and graphic violence/sex/violent sex

e: like if you like horror and you like weird artsy poo poo, you'll loving love Devilman, there's basically no reason to "ughhhh" at it in a thread where we're happily discussing Big Mouth.

Every prequel but Better Call Saul sucks.

But even with Better Call Saul, they can't help but get too cute with it sometimes. "REMEMBER THIS THING YOU LIKED FROM BREAKING BAD?!"

Yes. Yes I do. Well done. I guess that's what storytelling is. Reminding me of things I like.

I wouldn't even consider it a prequel to Breaking Bad. A prequel to BB would be a show about Walt the science teacher and Jesse the meth cook. Having some of the same characters but focusing almost entirely on new people and a new story makes it less a prequel and more just "a show that takes place in the same world".

Like, Cheers wasn't a prequel to Frasier.

There's a 99% chance that the moment the ratings aren't as awesome as Game of Thrones' were, they're gonna' start filling it with poo poo we already know about and it'll be just as embarrassing as that moment in Rogue One when Butt Chin and Mr. Death Sentence on Twelve Systems show up and spout "you'd better watch yourself."

Remember that, nerds?! You like that, don't you nerds! It's those people you know saying that line you remember!

How could cheers be a prequel if it was made before Frasier. Prequels are retroactive

I’m a year behind watching Stranger Things s2, but loved that episode 7 (I think) has a big chunky homage to Aliens within it. Paul Reiser. “Stay Frosty”. Motion scanners. Beautiful.

Yes, pedantic man, but you should be able to glean my point.

If it helps, pretend I said that Frasier isn't a sequel to Cheers and understanding that will allow you to realize that BCS is not a prequel to BB. Prequels/sequels involve more than just "this takes place in the same world".
