“I’m tired of the wait and see’s I’m tired of that part of me. That makes up the perfect lie to keep us between. But hours turn into days. So watch what you throw away. And be here to recognize, there’s another way….”

Followed by several loud crash symbols that I’ve always felt were reminiscent of gunshots

He achieved his freedom at the end, which was the best outcome for him. He seemed to be genuinely at peace. I thought it was a lovely ending.

Im guessing the thinking is that it picked up a bigger following on netflix/hulu over the years.

I love the show and was super excited for season 3 and got Starz the day episode 1 dropped. Three has been good and i was glad to see these miscreants again but my one month of starz already ended and I'm good to wait until there's a free option to see the final two eps. And before you say "it's only so and so dollars!" yes, i am very, very cheap.

I appreciate you trying to answer the question. I really do. Your one of like two people who has given a legitimate answer. Sincerely, you are one of the better ones but please just stop. I'm done with this post. I don't want to talk about this anymore after the behavior if most of these people.

People have answered the question you asked. If you do not like the answers, then you either didn't ask the right question or you are just being difficult. The one person you thanked for answering the question didn't even answer the question, they just said they watched OTA TV. You can't even be consistent about complaining people aren't answering the question.

Is your actual question not why people watch OTA TV, but why do companies still put it out? Because those have different answers. The answer you reject out of hand so strongly, that people don't want to (or cant afford to) pay for TV, feeds into the reason OTA still exists. While 80% of people live in urban areas, the 20% of people who don't are still a huge market. No company wants to ignore 20% of the market. Plus, someone watching OTA TV is probably not going to be able to skip commercials like someone watching online. So they get better view rates for their commercials. And, as I have said before, poor people still need to buy products. And being poor, they are more likely to be brand loyal. If an advertiser can get a poor person to pick their product, they are more likely to stick with it as long as it is price competitive. I seem to remember reading somewhere that they get better bang for their buck with ads on OTA because people are watching live and not skipping them or blocking them.

What other anime would you rec that on the level of the ones you highlighted?

Only someone who hasn’t followed anything that’s happened there in the last 12 years would say that. Richard Sharp, Laura Kuenssberg, Fiona Bruce, Robbie Gibb, Tim Davie.

Wokeism?

You know hiring people, promoting people not on talent but rather tokenism.

Creating content not that people want but is Woke. You know every story is focused on a minority with an agenda.

That’s the problem.

We wanted to watch the new season but had to catch prev episodes first

Who the hell pays $200 a month for internet, especially in the city??

I would ask about libraries too if they were a commercial venture.

No. I never got a proper response. All I got was hate filled comments telling me how either poor people can't afford it or rural folk just can't get internet. That isn't most people. Most people aren't even watching OTA for over a decade or two. Most weren't even responses. They were just these hate messages blasted at me from the start. There was no reason for the behavior I saw from this board.

I don't tbh.

I have depression but it doesn't "hit" because it's a default state of mind.

The "ah shit something I liked is finished" catches you by surprise and makes it hit harder.

I know what OP is talking about and it's a real thing. OP isn't trying to be insensitive to people with depression, it shouldn't be seen as distasteful imo.

In X-Files, the monster of the week thing is the best part. The mytharc becomes a completely irredeemable mess after a few seasons.

However, X-Files did take a while to get it's footing like many shows. First season is pretty week. Second season is better. Third is where it becomes great.

Is it her, or is it the hair?

I just can't deal with the hair

Telling me that there is poor people or people who live in rural areas isn't giving me an answer about the whole of tv land. Furthermore, I am being treated very badly from the start before I've even responded. Even if I was doing like you say, there is no reason for people to have such hate filled comments. I had to take down the post just to stop them.

The people on this board have been beyond rude and disrespectful. There is zero justification for this behavior.

No it does not seem obvious. You’re just seeking that connection which raises concerns about you.

Tie to a dream - sounds pretty good.

Run out of steam - sometimes that happens.

Could be roped, dead in a year - make the most of it, glass half full.

Can’t say why I should stay - people move through stages in life, childhood, school,.. and reasons to prolong something wear thin

Not every mention of a difficult thing in life is about suicide or even depression. It’s a song about melancholy.

I just wanted to see them get together, they both have brown hair

Wait till you hear the M.A.S.H theme

Get me some rope Tie me to dream Give me the hope to run out of steam

Somebody said it could be here We could be roped up, tied up, dead in a year

I can't count the reasons I should stay One by one they all just fade away

Seems pretty obvious

I watched the entire series. I did notice that the characters seemed inconsistent in a lot of ways. Acting seemed forced. Script was weak in places.

> I have no idea why I am being treated this way.

Because every time someone gives you an answer you either ignore it or disagree with it. You aren't acting like you actually want to know, you are acting like you want to disagree with people. People are reacting to how you are coming across, which is either a troll or someone who thinks they know better than everyone else and can't understand why people don't think exactly like you.

personally, almost nothing people do really bugs me. it'd have to be something more serious like being a racist or something. but you've made a great point here and im sure it bugs many people.
