the Week to Week or the Serial Binge

Banes at 12:00AM, July 4, 2024



I'm still rewatching Star Trek the Next Generation, slowly, and Better Call Saul as well. Both are a treat, and they use pretty much opposite types of continuity. Or close to it -

Next Gen was made in the 80's and early 90's. At the time, the decree ...

Character Wants - The Next Level

Banes at 12:00AM, June 27, 2024



Better Call Saul is the prequel series to Breaking Bad. Both shows are incredible, and probably my two favorite shows. The characters in these shows, especially Better Call Saul, have great nuance to them, and most of them have multiple “wants” or “needs” that are in opposition to each other ...

Betrayal is not a fave theme of mine in any media. I really dislike it, but it's so popular! We've talked about this one before but no one really remembers Quackcast 427 so we're ...

Benevolent racism, sexism, ableism, and whatever other “isim” is an interesting aspect of those otherwise negative things. It's not as obvious in its negativity, it's well-meaning and yet quite misguided. So what is it? The ...

Are We The Baddies?

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, June 15, 2024



Last time I wrote about villains making amends, after they decide to change their ways, flip sides, or generally become support to the protagonist, rather than the antagonist.

But for them to get there, there has to first come the realization that they are the villain of their story. And ...

Forced Together

Banes at 12:00AM, June 6, 2024



A tried and true story trope is the “forced together”.

Horrible On Purpose

Banes at 12:00AM, May 30, 2024


badum-tsss

I thought the first time I appreciated comedy that was “bad on purpose”, it was Fred Willard in Best in Show.
It's possible that some of his quips and comments were funny, or funny to some people…but the point of that character (a clueless commentator at a ...

How and why does your creativity change over time? It “evolves”.
Evolution is often wrongly thought of as a process that leads to a goal, like the idea that humans are the pinnacle of evolution, or that ...
