Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; 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?

I've been rewatching BSG along with Tricia Helfer and Marc Bernandin's podcast, and man I forgot how good that first season was.

Did any show get hit as hard by the writer's strike as BSG?

Heroes was my first thought too. It ended up a quickly cancelled shell of its former self.

I'd say the strike hurt Heroes more than BSG, mostly because I don't even remember which season of BSG the strike affected.

I only remember people exaggerating how hard Heroes was hit instead of acknowledging that it was a bad show anyway.

First season was great, minus the finale. Season 2 was writers strike

Season 3, which was one giant court case p much.

I still maintain that there was a really good idea behind the ending at least, even if they absolutely failed to land it

I know exactly when the writers strike was.

Edit: The strike happening at the same time goons stopped liking the show is correlation not causation.

That was like two episodes.

That's nuts, Season 3 also had the occupation of New Caprica, Fat Lee, Exodus pt 1&2, Starbuck's death, the boxing episode, and that killer finale with the reveal of the final five and Starbuck's return.

The Cylons show up on New Caprica in the season 2 finale and it ends on the time skip. And to be fair, the occupation storyline was probably written before the strike happened.

Just finished my rewatch of BSG and it's crazy how much they crammed into that series. Binging it is a strange, but satisfying, experience.

It probably wouldn't have been 20+ episodes a season for one.

That's included in Exodus 1&2.

I sure hope the Jigsaw face reveal in Punisher s2 isn't a big deal because it's one of the promo art pieces they use in the menu.

I'm reasonably certain that the strike caused Heroes S2 to be shorter but had no effect on the plot or anything

S2 was just bad from jump street

# ? Jan 22, 2019 23:50

esperterra: Mar 24, 2010; SHINee's back

I lowkey didn't mind much of S2 and some of 3, but that's prob my bias for KBell's character and arc with Sylar talking. I stopped watching when she left lmao

Inspector 34: Mar 9, 2009; DOES NOT RESPECT THE RUN

BUT THEY WILL

I completely forgot that Bell was in Heroes. I wasn't a huge fan of S2/3 but I don't think I've ever seen Kristen Bell do bad in a role so it makes sense she'd be a bright spot there too.

Not really sure if this is a spoiler but it really isn't played as any sort of pivotal moment.
