Man, how the hell did I miss a whole new season of Lower Decks?  I'm only a couple of episodes in but they seem to have addressed my only major complaint with it, namely that it cranked up the comedy too much a lot of the time instead of just telling a good story. It feels like a proper part of Star Trek now in a way that the first two seasons almost managed but didn't quite have the confidence in themselves to achieve.

Yeah, I think a lot of people saw the trailer or first episode and thought "Star Trek - Family Guy/Rick and Morty ", but it's actually the show that captures the tone of the TNG era easily the best, and it's now the favourite new Trek of a lot of fans, me included.

Lower Decks took a few episodes for me. The bulk of the early jokes were basically "Ha ha, this is Star Trek!"

Yeah a lot of people recommend skipping the first 2-3 episodes because it starts pretty rough (especially the pilot where it's trying too hard to be Rick and Morty with the humor) but it's great once it settles in. They manage to walk a good line between telling actual Star Trek stories but with humor.

Yeah Inside Job series 2 was pretty great. There’d better be a part 3, you hear me, shadow government?

I assume like all Netflix animation, they’ve already commissioned the entire series, and just release 8/10 at a time until the total number is out.

Netflix's normal trick is to order long singular seasons that they cut in half and release as two separate seasons to get a longer show for cheaper, since there's some deal about how they're supposed to pay per season they commission. I don't know all the details.

Glitch Techs was produced entirely without Netflix, axed, then shelved. Also true for the Rocko and Zim movies. Well, the produced without Netflix and shelved part, anyway. Rocko was done and shelved before I came on in autumn 2017 and Zim wrapped in... I wanna say April 2019? The deal with Netflix was in place by June the same year. But for Glitch Tech- Just after we all got back from Christmas break, THAT Monday at 5 PM, GT crew was unceremoniously booted with zero warning. It scared the poo poo out of everyone, understandably. Turns out that in our recent head exchange, the new head didn't like the idea of having two action shows in production and opted to kill GT over RotTMNT. And then they killed RotTMNT. Nick is not run great.

I am always baffled to see how Nickelodeon treats their cartoons and the people who make them with such insane amounts of disdain and disrespect, even when it's cartoons that are wildly loved and have the potential to bring in a ton of merch money like Zim.

I kinda feel like for a long while Nickelodeon has been looking for offramps to get out of the animation business, especially getting away from 2D animation, but they just can't manage. I think they might have been doing more consistently better in the field of toddler shows, but I don't really pay much attention to those. Definitely they've been really uncomfortable about doing shows for young adults or for splitting their appeal between kids and adults. God knows what's been going on between the people in charge of the channel and the rest of the Viacom/Paramount/CBS company.

Inside Job season 2 was good, still does a lot of forced pop culture references, which is fine, I guess even if it feels like lazy writing. I didn't hate Rand this season as much as I thought I would based on last season, even though he is still a terrible father. I guess he came across as too pathetic of a human being to be properly hateable, which is weird considering technically he's the most powerful person on Earth, save possibly the head of the illuminati and the robes whose deal we don't really know yet.

Dragon Age Absolution is pretty good and breezy at six episodes. Maybe not worth if you don't care or don't like Dragon Age as a setting. As video game things go it's not up there with Edgerunners or Arcane but certainly better than that odd DOTA show.

The trailer for Ark: The Animated Series makes it look like exactly the sort of cheap tie-in series everyone expected Arcane to be, but evidently all their money went to hiring a voice cast: Michelle Yeoh Gerard Butler Jeffrey Wright David Tennant Karl Urban Elliot Page Malcolm McDowell Monica Bellucci Alan Tudyk Cissy Jones Russel Crowe Vin Diesel ...and some others I think I missed in there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMTbYmS5o_Y

Not that I'm advocating for hiring cheaper voiceovers but it would be nice if they didn't splurge on celebrity talent and let some pro VAs get work outside of anime.

You can change voice actors. I always forget that Colbert voiced Professor Impossible in his first appearance in Venture Bros.

Let me rephrase that. Hire professional voice actors and pay them what they're worth (which is a hell of a lot more than what they currently make) rather than shelling out millions for a celebrity who phones it in.

But I guess they didn't want to shell out the money for (or deal with?) Nicki Minaj and recast her. We see Opal and Sardonyx several times throughout the series, I really wanted to see more of Sugalite

Apparently a lot of the times a Celebrity gets hired to do a role they include a clause in their contract that explicitly forbids recasting the role without their permission, hence situations where you get a character that should be an important recurring one but since they're voiced by a celebrity they'll either never show up again or at most they'll be a mute background character

I think the Simpsons has a few regular roles that big name actors just decided they'd show up and do whenever they're called for, so sometimes you can get the big actor to just stick with the thing. I think it made sense why Sugilite never showed up again long enough to talk. Amethyst's personality just didn't mesh with Garnet's in a way that would be stable and useful. I dunno if the nature of the fusion would change after Amethyst had her whole character growth.

Dreamworks seems like they'll call cut on basically any line read.
