Nobody Cares about TV and Film

There's also Ghosts. Coming to CBS on November 16.

This is the original series, and it is complete (and has a proper final episode).

By the time the new season of Young Sheldon can finally start, it will run into the start of The Big Bang.

I always wondered what they would do when that happened, though I think that is actually quite a ways off.

There's a final Christmas 2023 episode that hasn't aired in UK yet, which I'm hoping will be added to the U.S. roster.

My one serious reservation about bringing over the UK Ghosts to American TV is the episode length difference. Our "half-hour" shows have a runtime of around 21 minutes to accommodate the glut of commercials. The UK Ghosts run a full 30-minutes. There's no word so far on whether they will be cut to fit our time slots. Trimming that much off time off the tightly scripted storylines would effectively butcher them.

The problem with kid actors is that they grow up fast. A break of several years is going to be REALLY obvious, to the point where you can't just pretend that no time has passed between the last season the start of a new one.

According to Big Bang canon, Sheldon's father George dies when Sheldon is 14. Since Sheldon is 13 years old in Season 6, there was strong speculation that George would die in Season 7. Now however, Season 7 has been delayed considerably, so.... that's gonna get tricky.

Oh that's the British version. I wonder if they're going to run it in place of the American one because of the strike?

The season 2 ending of Buffy was so good. Even as predictable as the inevitable drama was, I liked it.

In case anyone cares, because its a 25 year old show but like, I had not watched it.

Spoiler

Angel became evil, Angel frees this evil super demon, Willow restores Angel's humanity, while Buffy is fighting him, Angel wakes up and is, really confused and has no idea what is happening. Buffy accepts that despite that she got him back, thenonly way to stop the super demon is to kill Angel. They both say their I love you's, Buffy stabs Angel. Angel still has no idea why or what is happening, he just is, pretty shocked.

Granted, a lot of the weight of the moment kind of was removed with the knowledge that "Angel has his own 5 season spin off TV series."

Also the part where in the season 3 opening, he is still part of the main credits.

In other news, I kind of hate Xander X Cordelia's dynamic, but it also kind of maybe feels like its pretty realistic to a lot of relationships. Though from what I can tell, Cordelia is basically the seconary main character on the Angel show. So obviously, those two break up at some point.

On the other hand, the Valentine's episode where Cordelia breaks up with Xander (what a bitch), then goes back to him, was probably the best episode so far.

Also, the show got another obvious budget bump, because quality went up a bit. Plus, someone found a new ways to "make a bad guy die and disapear while a hero is touching/near it", because its the, new, overused, special effect.

The actors under SAG-AFTRA may be back to work soon.

Hollywood actors reach tentative deal to end their strike

Hollywood actors might be back to work soon.

Hollywood actors may soon be back to work. The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) have approved a tentative deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) — the trade association representing Hollywood studios — to end their strike.

“In a unanimous vote this afternoon, The SAG-AFTRA TV/Theatrical Committee approved a tentative agreement with the AMPTP bringing an end to the 118 day strike,” SAG-AFTRA said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times. “The strike officially ends at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, November 9.”

The new deal will include higher minimum pay, improved residual payments for streamed shows, and “new rules for the use of artificial intelligence,” the LA Times reports. The studios had pushed to own actors’ digitally-scanned replicas in perpetuity, which had become a key sticking point in negotiations.

That's great news. I watched the original series when it first came out, and recently I found it online and have been rewatching it.

I have to admit, though, I didn't realise that James Burke was still alive...

"Dash Rendar is seen to bring down 3 AT-ATs during the Battle of Hoth. Yet in the book, Luke Skywalker mentions he'd only taken 1 AT-AT down...Was it canon, or was Luke an unreliable narrator?"

Neither? I think only the films are canon.

Pretty much what Boyega says.

It looks beautiful. But why do we need this?
