Gonna be a long two weeks

It's gonna be a great reward for me. My last test of this semester is Calculus on the 15th, and I have a rough week ahead with two other tests coming up and an assignment for a subject I'm not great in. So having that to binge after all that will be a nice way to relax, and get my mind off the fact I've probably failed at least one subject :smith:

I would never Skip Intro this show, too cute. I respect that it's there overall. I do think it's funny it *always* pops up, regardless of show. For example, by the time I move my mouse to hypothetically hit "Skip Intro" on Better Call Saul it would already be over!

I’m trying to remember the show I was watching that had the [Skip Intro] thing for a really short one, and it worked out longer to press it and have the show load up from after the jump than to just let it play. It wasn’t BCS.

I also skipped the Voltron intro because I always felt the theme music wasn’t particularly good (unlike the in episode score, which was amazing.)

For every show except for BCS, I watch the theme song again at the start of a half-season or when a new batch of episodes comes out, then skip it for the rest of the episodes in the batch, unless I'm doing something like adjusting the volume and turning closed captioning on while it plays

Of the many things I won't miss about marvel Netflix, having to constantly mash skip intro to make it watchable is near the top

If some one gave me a time machine that could only be used to change trivial pop culture stuff I would use it to make Hugo Martin the show runner of the new He-Man series instead of Kevin Smith. Personally, I am not very excited for this project but the voice acting cast is ridiculously stacked, they got big name just to play Skeletor's henchmen. Just look at it:

Chris Wood - Prince Adam / He-Man
Mark Hamill - Skeletor
Sarah Michelle Gellar - Teela
Liam Cunningham - Man-At-Arms
Lena Headey - Evil-Lyn
Diedrich Bader - King Randor and Trap Jaw
Alicia Silverstone - Queen Marlena
Stephen Root - Cringer
Griffin Newman - Orko
Susan Eisenberg - Sorceress
Kevin Michael Richardson - Beast Man
Kevin Conroy - Mer-Man
Henry Rollins - Tri-Klops
Jason Mewes - Stinkor
Alan Oppenheimer - Moss Man
Justin Long - Roboto
Tony Todd - Scare Glow
Phil LaMarr - He-Ro
Cree Summer - Priestess
Harley Quinn Smith - Ileena
Tiffany Smith - Andra

Is it? It's just a name, and they have to come from some where. There's plenty of people named for characters in popular television shows, movies, games, books etc. Why is naming one after a comic book character remarkable? It's not even a new phenomenon, given that people have been naming kids for mythical figures for millenia, and that's basically the same idea.

I think it's less 'comic book character' and more 'villain'. That said, Harley is a perfectly normal name and I presume Quinn is just her middle name. She probably doesn't go by Harley Quinn in day to day conversation.

I vaguely recall news stories a few years ago about people who'd named their children after a Game of Thrones character, and were becoming horrified at it because of what the character had become. I want to say it was Cersei, but she was pretty vile from the beginning really, so maybe it was Daenerys? Either way, at least Harley Quinn was evil from the off, so he obviously knew what he was getting in to. He's talked about it before on his podcasts, and said that when he started dating his wife, he got her to read a few comics and Harley Quinn was a character she actually liked and said she liked the name of, so it was a mutual decision on their part to name their kid Harley Quinn apparently. Which has obviously worked out a bit for her later in life, because it landed her a gig working for DC for a short while doing a show on their DC streaming app if nothing else.

I've heard rumors that the writers wanted to close things up quickly (on their hyper popular, money-printing series!) to focus on... A series where the South wins the American Civil War. Not sure how true that is.

Why? It sounds like it might have been an interesting setting to explore some topical themes, given that binary choice (North or South) was such a pivotal event in American history. I haven't even seen Game of Thrones, but from what I gather of them as creators it doesn't sound like they'd make the best use of it, but it seems like a good setup at least and I wouldn't think they garnered so much hate for the last season that it'd essentially tank their public cache. Was it just that people assumed it'd glorify the idea of the South winning too much? That it'd get the history, causes etc wrong? That no-one trusted them to write that story? Or just that the idea of a show at least partially discussing racism is just that toxic that no-one wants to see it because the likelihood is it wouldn't do the theme justice?

Alternatively, they might have argued that slavery would have faded out anyway and that the south never actually cared about slavery. It was about States Rights! Ugggghhhhh.
