Sash! posted:Using one of the examples, the Bourne Identity was a 1980 book. The script was written in 1999. The movie filmed in late 2000. It was supposed to be a September 2001 release. It isn't really an artifact of the Bush era or the post 9/11 world because it is literally the product of a different era. It's also just an ameri-centric view in this kind of bizarre detached way that ignores other ways of viewing those time periods and instead views them entirely through the lens of these shows, with hindsight. Just so. You could pick other shows/movies/books, and have a far different outcome, or you could pick the same ones and have a different outcome.

The Shield is janky as gently caress but I know in my heart that it's the best show of all time, even if my brain thinks that's stupid.

Has the thread discussed the mystery of Bob Benson yet or is it too early in the show?

All of the wild theories were wrong but still: He's like another Don (I'm not convinced he actually "got hired" at the agency, I reckon he kinda walked in with a cup of coffee and reminded a secretary that she forgot to add him to the payroll), with a perhaps much darker history, especially with the implied murder of Pete's mother.

Scallop Eyes posted:On regards to Don, it was almost becoming a tradition of him escaping a hopeless work situation every seaon finale (Duck trying to muscle him out; the SCDP heist-creation; the whole Chevy thing),while his personal life got worse and worse. So this being an inversion of that , with the only bright spot in his life is him triyng to be more open with his kids , feels preety nice. It's a homage to the end of season 6 of Trailer Park Boys where the boys manage to not go to jail at the end and Mr Lahey starts to confront his alcoholism, which sets up the final season.

I'd love to see Jerusalem posts about Severance but I guess that's too new and unfinished. Have you got any plans for what's next? I would personally love to see Oz but I get that it's not as universally loved as the other influential shows like Sopranos. Also you haven't done Breaking Bad yet?
