Letterkenny keeps getting better and better and they are actively trying to find a role for every working Canadian actor. Melanie Scrofano keeps popping up, Jay Baruchel had a great little role and I just spotted Cara Gee.

Watch this loving show!

Yeah the thing is even if s4 is good I would have to finish 2 and watch 3 and just no thanks. I am glad to hear it apparently managed to right the ship at the end, though.

I think other reports said that he was pretending to be a "disabled veteran" of the US Postal Service. So my guess is that he just did that thing he does where he makes it look one way and she was an idiot who got duped and still hasn't gotten the joke.

So she'll keep insisting it was "stolen valor" and poo poo and the RWM media will repeat that because gently caress the truth.

Shame. He would have been a good fit for Rice's incredibly homoerotic vampires.

Apparently he left because he's irl friends with Anne Rice and her son wrote a treatment and he didn't want to step on that.

Rice's son wrote the pilot script, which was completed in May. Fuller quit way back in February.

The dude starts and bails from (or, in the case of Discovery, gets fired) so many gigs I'm starting to wonder if there aren't substance abuse issues involved.

It shouldn't be. DBZ might've been something only nerds and anti-social teens admitted to loving, but a lot of adults now were little kids when it was on the air, and they were absolutely the target audience.

Yeah, he got the boot for wanting something like 10 million an episode for American Gods, which is good but not exactly pulling in the viewers for the channel.

Fuller was reportedly an incredible pain in the rear end on Hannibal, he got fired from Discovery because he couldn't get scripts done and was already going wildly over-budget, "quit" American Gods because he didn't get his requested budget increase for the second season, hosed off from Amazing Stories and also hosed off from Vampire Chronicles. That's all in the span of the last, what, three years? And even way back when, he quit Dead Like Me after the first season because he didn't get the money he wanted.

At some point there's a systemic issue.

I love Fuller but I still laugh whenever I think about him wanting even MORE money for American Gods when it was already getting like mid series GoT level budgets per episode.

Like c'mon queen really??

At my most optimistic I want to say that Fuller is a guy who values his own vision and the quality of a product that his name is attached to above all else, and he's more than willing to walk if he's told to compromise by a studio. A terrible policy if you want to actually want to get anything done in Hollywood, sure, but commendable from an artistic standpoint.

Until I hear anything that contradicts that I'm just going to operate under that assumption.

I'd rather it exist on CW than not at all fwiw.

So, CW is basically Superhero soap Operas: The Network now?

Flash and Arrow have shifted wildly in quality over their last 2 seasons and I'm really wondering how long either can last. Arrow in particular went from possibly the best ever in season 6 to some completely nonsensical directions for season 7.

Legends of Tomorrow is the outright best now since the focus is essentially comedy with a thin veneer of drama rather then the hard dark drama they started with at the beginning with the Hawk people and Savage.

Black Lightning is a great start to a franchise and can stay around if they maintain the quality of the writing. The overall theme of a "retired" hero coming back works a lot better then a origin series, especially if they maintain his focus on improving the community is his capacity as the principle.

Supergirl exists I guess? Season 4 is coming up but I haven't heard anything especially positive or negative about it aside from wedding plotline that went nowhere.

It really depends where they want to position the Batwoman show. Is it going to be charming but then constantly bleak like Flash? Super dark and gritty like Arrow? Or a casual fun romp more in the vein of Supergirl/LoT. Even making it a super serious soap opera like Vampire Diaries it could still do well off the strength of the cast.
