  1. Of Course Nick wants the show to succeed, but the show is ending this season either way. Ratings don't matter as far as the show's survival, plus it's staying online right? A month gap in between season seems a little extreme, but then again, if it's all done and polished I don't know what I'm complaining about.

  2. Honestly, the first season is one of favorites overall. I guess I'm a purist but I can't imagine anyone bored or uninterested in one second of the entire show, I don't think there was an ounce of filler. It just connected with me on such a personal level, especially early on.

    And oddly enough, Season 5 Part 1 is probably my least favorite.

  3. Showgirls: Still one of my favorite movies. Yes, it's terrible as fuck but, outside of that one scene, it's fun also. I watched it with a Showgirls Virgin this time. He was baffled by most of the film and why characters would talk half the time. Can't blame him.

    So do you buy into that whole, it's actually brilliant satire thing?

  4. So I'm oddly getting back into LOST due to the great rewatch-podcast LOSTrewatch. Anyway I came across this Cracked article which is kind of blowing my mind. Not to say that it fixes all the shows problems or anything, or that it solves every mystery, but in terms of the whole arc of the show (Science VS Faith etc.) it's helping me to make sense of the show's ending. I'd recommend reading over it if you are (or were) a LOST fan, it may or may not improve your opinion of the show.

  5. Just a few weeks ago my grandfather described the plot of God's Not Dead to me, beer in hand, for hours. One of the best movies he'd ever seen. Needless to say I left before he went out to kill animals with a whole bunch of white men. Related.

  6. Plenty of shows get put into production and never see the light of day, despite that I think we will see a Book 4. My only worry is that without Nickelodeon behind it, the amount of money put behind it will be greatly reduced resulting in a major drop in quality. We'll have to wait and see.

    Also, I believe that drop in ratings between seasons 1 and 2 to be the result of three reasons:

    1. The year long gap between seasons.

    2. Insufficient advertising.

    3. The deadly 8pm Friday night time slot.

    As far as the rest of season 3 goes, Bryan Konietzko posted this on his tumblr page:

    But as I said elsewhere, while it's good that we'll be able to see season 3 conclude in some format, it kinda sucks for Mike and Bryan. I mean they pour their hearts and souls into this series to see it jerked around by Nick to the point of near cancellation and mere online releases. Must make them feel like crap.

    EDIT: Michael DiMartino has just posted this on facebook:

    "Hey everyone! I appreciate all the support for the show and share your frustration. But the good news is, you will be able to see the rest of Book 3 of Korra, I just don't know all the details yet. And there is most definitely a Book 4. All the pre-production is done and Studio Mir is hard at work on the animation. So this was a disappointing development for sure but as long as you all are able to see the show in some capacity, I'm grateful. And honestly, you're all watching it online anyway, right?"

  7. Yeah, if things ever come to blows, we'll nuke each other into paste before war is ever declared.
