I don't really.

Stupid to expect "no spoilers" to mean "don't talk about what people employed by the show are saying about the show"

In interviews timed to release after the airing of the first episode. Because they're understood to include spoilers.

Your contention is that this is the very first time this very old parlor/magic trick has been recorded for TV or film?

Female Bond producer? FFS...

Yeah. She only produces chick movies like the Tom Hardy Venoms and Project Hail Mary, in addition to all the current Spider-Man movies that everyone loves.

No one can figure out why Amazon would want a highly qualified professional with only 2 financial misfires in her career to help get a massive project off the ground.

where I don't see the motivation to cast her

Whether people her like her or not, she is massively popular. The Drama and Challengers are making single digit millions without her. Or they're straight to streaming. I understand it's hard to credit her for the success of Spider-Man, but she's a proven boost to box office.

I struggle with keeping up with long-running series.

Comedy would probably be How I Met Your Mother (208 episodes over 9 seasons)

Hour-long is probably all 7 seasons of Buffy (144 episodes). Plus the 5 seasons of Angel (110 episodes).

Everyone outside of the studios wants this. There is no incentive for the studios to report this way, so they will not.

Okay. Thank God I'm not in the club that forces me to see these movies, or else this would be a problem.

I'll check out the first few episodes of this season, but I'll be bailing after 2 if it's anything like season 3.

And I don't watch the most tv, and what I do watch is the stuff I'm quite certain will be good, or else I ditch it. Season 3 was bad. Keely's story was a disaster. The on and off again love triangle was the worst, all the way through the finale. The third to last episode is 70 minutes, with more than 30 of them being gross montages of people looking sad just past the camera. I think it's the worst epiosde of the series, by a mile. The penultimate episode with moms was the most nakedly emotionally manipulate hogwash I've sat through in years (75 goddamn minutes). And Jaimie has to have his out of nowhere freak out, too, just so he can have the big game moment. The finale was bearable, but worked so hard to make sure every character got their little closure moment. I don't care that the gay player's boyfriend walks onto the field, because it's been way too long since the writers cared to deal with the gay player. It's okay to not give every last character tgeir nice moment, especially when the comedy episode is at another 75 minutes. The game itself was pretty good.

So, what's bearable about the end of season 3 relies so completely on your previous emotional connection to the characters, not with anything that actually happens during the season. If the show is anything similar at the start of season 4, there will be cloying emotional moments with characters that haven't earned them yet.

Hopefully, I'll be wrong.
