I'm imagining a series finally like a weird mixture of Clue and Fallout 4 where the last episode has four possible endings and three are basically the same and they're all shown.

Todd Howard already said that they aim to be as ambiguous as possible and not canonize any of player's choices. It will probably be "yeah there was a big trouble here a couple of decades back but it's all ancient history now so who cares". And the town's leader will be some schmuck who hasn't even heard of Mr. House.

of course, but that's not the point. the point was making a popular show was absolutely their goal, not sure why they feel the need to posture about being "surprised".

By most metrics the Lord of the Rings show was very successful. Now none of those metrics mean much to you or me, but they do by the people who sign the checks I think.

You can't tell me you're not excited for Days of Our Fallout featuring the inevitable Lucy, Cooper, Maximus love triangle. I personally can't wait for the day when show creators have Lucy, a woman scorned, running straight into the arms of Super Mutant BigDick. How can you live without the drama of each of the main characters acting irrational over a meaningless event that could have been avoided with a clear line of questioning?

Yup, I'm gonna need about 15 seasons of low-budgeted, poorly-written, Producer-vetted BS that Amazon will be sure to bring to the table

That article is confusing, the title suggests there's a difference in how "should" and "ought" are used, but besides the fact that "ought" sometimes comes with "to" there doesn't seem to be one.

I'm universally hated for this opinion on Lemmy, but the whole season is a solid “meh”. But it is a consistent “meh”. If you didn't care about the characters and plot points in the first two episodes, they're not gonna get any better. There are two or three outrageously bad scenes later in the season, like truly atrocious writing and awful acting, but they come and go very fast, you won't notice if you are not paying attention, and they end up not affecting the plot ending.

Same! Netflix has trained me not to even watch new shows until the show has a proper finale. Fuck em for making so many throw away shows just to pump thier numbers.

Same goes for Google, it doesn't matter what miraculous app/hardware they dream up with, cause those fucks are no better when it comes to abandoning thier work. It's all pump and dump after the quartler numbers are out.

Enshittification is getting out of control.

I thought so until the last episode. That one brought the rest of what they had done way down (for me).

when people like something as a meme but take it so far that it makes others mistake it for a genuine wave of appreciation. like Morbius

Gaslighted into thinking a bad movie is good.

I didn't realize today was opposite day.
