the founding fathers section remains funny as hell because larrys position was the one they actually had despite the premise acting as if hes expressing the wrong minority opinion

Yeah, like in 24 it was weird that each episode was around an hour with breaks and they had 24 of the bloody things. Why not 13 and have them run no more than 20-25 minutes? Never got the logic.

no you completely misunderstood lol

more episodes of a good show means more good episodes. it means more meh to bad episodes as well but there's still more hours of good television in total

24 was just boring hack dreck top to bottom, making it a 10 episode miniseries wouldn't change that

Did that show ever have a premise besides PSA stuff?

It's a cute show about a kid who lost his mother and how that affects all of the people in this life, while also being essentially a Magical Girl anime.

The scene above is by far the most explicit and clinical one about trauma but anxiety, depression, etc are handled a lot in the series.

It's pretty earnestly about being kind and empathetic and some folks feel the need to complain about it not beingThe Wire or whatever.

Started watching Foundation, watched the first two eps, seems okay but some scenarios are hard to believe, even in that universe. A pool in a spaceship? That has no one else swimming in it?? Maybe you can book the whole thing for an hour for yourself.

I think it's pretty good but the best parts are completely made up by the writers. I've read the books they were way less fun. The genetic dynasty stuff is great.

Haven't finished season 1 yet though.

I liked the Star trek model where a third of the episodes were good and a third were embarrassingly bad. And I liked mid budget movies. And comedies where if a funny thing happened it had a sound effect like *sproing*.

If Dudes truly do Rock, they'd watch this movie ten times in theaters. Hell you don't even need to watch it, just buy a couple of tickets per weekend and hang out at home maintaining your Twitter review bots and Rotten Tomatoes spam accounts pushing this movie UP.

They did a very good job balancing the meta-comedic stuff with having a plot that did exactly what it needed to: moved the characters from one set piece to another at a good clip

I doubt many people would believe this opinion but, I've been watching my son play the story mode of Mortal Kombat 1, that was just released, and the writing is really good, and the voice acting is great too.

It's a slow building political intrigue, lol

yea there were perhaps a few too many quips and i think they coulda refined that a bit, but overall most of the lines landed and were funny. its also the type of romping adventure flick where quips make sense and are expected

lin-manuel miranda's mutiny on the bounty

at the climactic battle, he turns to the camera and starts rapping:

i like big boats and i cannot lie

and forecastle in your face

at the time a lot of people criticized hamilton for all the historical inaccuracies, but the real hamilton was a technocrat who hated popular democracy and envisioned the government's primary role as maintaining aristocracy

so really miranda got it right that he's the forefather of american liberalism

Do they have Shang Tsung promise to betray the heroes and then the heroes getting shocked that he betrays them?

I don't think those DLC characters are part of the story mode, unless they have their own separate story.

The story mode is about the main 22 (23) characters and Earthrealm and Outworld going at each other and the political factions in both realms have their own problems with each other.

Shang Tsung is trying to start a war is the main gist of it.
