His GF’s father sold him to the Mohawk! Which is even more messed up to me lol Poor Roger gets shit for being a terrible character but when you put it like that kinda feel for the guy.

> Women get raped, men get raped, children get raped,

Well at least the rape is inclusive, I guess. ^s/

Fair point. I hadn't considered it from that perspective.

Should really be interesting to see how a strike impacts streamers like this regardless, though. Back in 2008, Netflix and Hulu were the only games in town, and they were both still several years off from producing their own original content. Now, there are countless streamers that will have to contend with this, and it's much different than networks on television who didn't really have to worry about people cancelling subscriptions.

Netflix likely has enough in the can to weather something like this since they release new stuff practically weekly as it is. They also already license a lot of foreign programming. But streamers like AppleTV, Peacock, Paramount+, and even Disney+ generally are only fueling subscriptions by having a couple big shows running at a time. Give it a few months like how the 2008-9 WGA Strike ran, and these services are going to have a very difficult time justifying keeping people subscribing, and I doubt a shift to reality programming like what we saw during 2008-9 is going to be enough, particularly in the case of AppleTV.

That's where the series should have ended, or even better right after she travels back and meets Jamie in the bookshop (then give us a sex filled epilogue where they live happily ever after).

Then it basically becomes fan fiction of iteself. The author should have done a spinoff where the daughter while trying to go see her mother ends up traveling back way to far and meets a Viking.

I enjoy the show, but it needs more time travel.

Also, it annoys the fuck out of me that they settled right in the middle of what Claire knows will become a war zone in the near future.

Oh, but she had sex with the boyfriend and then the rapist within days so it was just maybe a rapist baby.

Later they find a birthmark and decide that it must be the now husband's baby. Then they for some reason decide to stay in the past instead of going someplace where there is hygene and indoor plumbing.

The show is perfect if you stop at the end of season two, maybe season three.

Then it was a possible rape baby. . . .

It's coming from the books. At least the first couple seasons.

Now every character will be gang raped because one rapist wasn't enough.

Fuck that show was good. Need a rewatch when I make my roommate go at it.

I’m making her watch all the good shows like Breaking Bad and such and I’m having a blast as well so we can discuss stuff.

Also I can’t believe I stopped Mr. Robot the first time around at midpoint of S1. After years I decided to give it another chance and it’s one of my favorite shows ever.

I watched the first season and had the same thought. I guess it’s still going on huh?

People love to speak of this show as rape and torture porn in such a hackneyed manner, without recognising anything of merit about it. I's rivalled only by The Handmaid's Tale

I find this puzzling because the worst, most impossible-to-watch torture porn I have ever seen is in a show I otherwise love - season 2 of Vikings Valhalla. They literally linger lovingly and gratuitously over torture details...but strangely, nobody ever mentions it

Agreed. I thought the first season was great, but the 2nd season was a real disappointment. No clear storyline, pacing was off, didn't care about what was going on.

> and it's really not a bad move.

Its a scummy move IMO but im in a union so....

Prolific is an understatement. The amount of books, short stories, and screenplays is insane.

Don't forget after traveling through time and enduring all that trauma the pretty red head still doubted if he loved her at all.

i watched first half, strained to get through every episode, gave up

A complete DUD

first 3 seasons offered some thrills n fun times ;)

Wouldn't surprise me, and it's really not a bad move. AppleTV doesn't have a ton of original content to begin with, and in terms of comedy, they already have Ted Lasso, Schmigadoon, and The Big Door Prize to carry things until summer.

Wow. His writing brought Poison Ivy to life. Before that the character wasn’t really hashed out in any media. RIP

Man do I miss mid-90s/early-2000s Fox TV. Millennium, X-Files, Sliders, MANTIS, Dark Angel, Firefly, and probably many more I can't remember.

A lot of shows get worse as they go but season 4 is a huge drop off (so far).

You is an interesting phenomenon because IMO it has been getting objectively worse each season, but somehow I can't stop watching it. Like, first season I gave into the buzz and was absolutely hooked, binged it in a day. Each subsequent season I've enjoyed less but still get through it within a day or two of its release. This last season I mostly just had it on in the background while doing other things. It's like a porno—you could probably watch just a few minutes from each episode and still understand the overarching story.

The crack head?
