This would make a lot more sense, though, if they actually focused on the app, instead of making the apps really hard to use and frequently locked behind cable subscription passwords?

If they really wanted to cater to streaming binge watchers, people who buy seasons of their shows on streaming services (like me) would be a priority and not a fairly obvious afterthought.

You don't watch commercials.

No, I just give them money directly.

So do I. The problem is they can get money from commercials and still get money from cord cutters. They're double dipping, and it's pretty rational that they do so.

I got season 1 of Mystery Inc. out from the library and I did not remember Velma and Daphne being Thirsty AF.

Probably didn't notice the first time because I've loved Velma since I was a child. Is it because she's smart and wears glasses, or is she the reason I like smart girls in glasses?

OK, I found the first half of season 3 of TTG to be very unenjoyable and...kind of mean? Everything turns around with the Gilligan's Island episodes and the rest of the season is lovely. I'm kind of wondering if there was some kind of staffing shake up.

Also, I have been repeatedly listening to Star's WooDoo song over and over because it's oddly compelling.

I would post the objectively best TTG song but I don't know if the goon who's catching up has gotten to it yet and I don't want to spoil it.

The library girl also told me there's an awesome song coming and I think she meant The Night Begins to Shine. It does sound like a "real" song, but the Heavy Metal visuals are what's doing the heavy lifting.

If there's something else, I can't wait. :yayclod:

I want to know the story behind them getting, what I assume, is stuck on a desert island considering 4 out of 5 of them are capable of flight.

There is a clue in the opening song.

Also The Night Begins to Shine IS a real song

I meant a for real period radio song, and you know it. However, you are technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.


This might be a good time to mention I snuck a Love Händel song into our wedding reception playlist and no one noticed.

Here's a deep cut if you're looking for a fun fantasy series:

"Dofus: the treasures of kerub" it's a prequel to "Wakfu", but more slice of lifey and with better animation. I strongly recomend watching it (and Wakfu) in the original french with subtitles.

Edit:


Okay, this clip convinced me I need to watch the rest of this movie ASAP. Thank you.

We finally got cable, so now I can watch DuckTales. I guess until the 5/30, at least.

The pilot was pretty good, but I really think the second episode is much better. It's just packed to the gills with jokes.

DuckTales starts pretty good and ramps up in quality very quickly over the course of the series. Definitely one of my favorite cartoons on right now.

Episode 4 and this is literally The Warriors.

Also, the captions for the title changed from ponytails to phony tales. It was definitely ponytails on episode 2.

Edit: the amulet was kind of a giveaway but I'd basically forgotten about it and then gently caress.

Edit 2: episode 8 and Webby continues to be the absolute best.

With that said, I heard repeatedly that seasons 3 and 4 were both good, 3 in particular, and I have been tempted but I just don't want to rewatch season 1 and see season 2, and I'm not going to see the rest without their context.

I watched season 3 without watching season 2 or rewatching season 1 and I absolutely do not regret it. No context was required.
