I hate modern Star Trek's reliance on the prequel idea, and it's an idea that permeates all modern media honestly. Don't get me wrong, I really like Strange New Worlds. No doubt.

However, if they really must go back to a time period, why not create a new crew, and a new ship? Starfleet is all over the place, you could do a whole series without reference to anything that happened in another series if you wanted to. All this weird shit couldn't of been exclusive to the Enterprise. I'm sure the USS Cropduster or whatever the fuck ever was getting up to capers of their own.

Mythbusters is great because Adam Savage will be like “Could Sir Arthur have built a surface to air missile with Middle Ages technology? Probably not. Anyway here’s how to make a bomb.” And Jamie will be like “If all goes well this will not blow up instantly and kill us.” And the three other guys are trying to see if you could kill a person by throwing an egg really fast.

the death of reruns was the death of television.

we talk a lot about why streaming is killing television, but i think one factor that is under-discussed is syndication. there have been some good short-run series, but the majority of our most beloved series had long runs. like, 5+ season runs. runs that hit that sweet 100 episode mark, meaning they qualified for the most lucrative syndication deals. streaming shows are reducing and eliminating the need for such deals because they’re so siloed. instead of making a syndication deal with another station (and paying your creatives fair residuals), streaming services host their shows on their own platforms and instead pay the streaming rights residuals that are nowhere near as fair.

because these streaming networks (both streaming-only, like netflix, and core networks with original content streaming, like cbs and nbc) aren’t selling their shows off-platform, they don’t need to hit any kind of episode landmark to be cost-saving. you can host a show in any increment, so having a 20-episode series is the same as having a 60-episode series. except the 60-episode series, of course, takes longer and costs more to produce. as long as a network makes one season of a show, they get to market it for new viewers. and once they feel they’ve gotten all the new subscribers they will out of a series, they drop it to save money.

until there is some monetary benchmark incentive to get a series past one or two seasons, television as long-form storytelling is dead.

one thing I like about heartbreak high as an australian piece of media is it doesn't do that self conscious thing a lot of australian media does where it's fixated of it's international (especially american) audience. which is not only a symptom of general australian insecurity about our cultural exports (culture cringe ect) but also a very literal problem wherein australian creatives are encouraged and sometimes expected to cater to international markets over the domestic one. a lot of the jokes and references (especially in season 2) would not make sense to most international audiences, and yet they included them anyway. despite international audiences confusion following the release of season one over some of these aspects (particularly Missy and Malakai calling themselves Blak) it still decided to encourage those audiences to come into the australian cultural/political/social world rather than warping it to fit those sensibilities and I really liked that! they could of had the characters plays soccer or even rugby rather than AFL, but they didn't! they went for the particularly australian sport. they could have cut the engadine maccas or succulent chinese meal jokes, or chosen any other song expect for fkn untouched by the veronicas to be playing in the background of the dramatic scene, but they knew the australian audience would get it, and love it, and recognise this as an Australian Piece of Media with them in mind & I think that is nice! It's different!! it's unusual!!

#heartbreak high #just some thoughts! I think this is one of my fave australian things #both book and film/television #in a while! it's so fun! #Ik in publishing a LOT of aus authors are told they should change aspects of the text so it's understandable to the intl audience #I like that HH strays away from that

Started watching Carol and the End of the World bc flu got me (but yay, tested negative for covid). Anyways, that intro made me question if my feverish brain was causing issues. But nah, it's a nightmare of someone who's not handling an impeding apocalypse well.

I mean, Carol's depression and desire to revisit her childhood via haunting the abandoned Applebee's is an understandable reaction. I'd party through a planetary apocalypse but you know. I get her reaction.

This is such a mundane horror story, though. Like, she still worries about credit card debt until she's finally told that the bank doesn't care anymore. American tourists still have "life-changing" trips to Tibet. People still drink La Croix and need to deal with the laundry day. They have weirdo one-night stands. Somehow, the accounting department still needs to show up to work despite an apocalypse lol.

Also, it's neat how we have a quiet big middle-aged lady as a protagonist. Not particularly common on TV, even though streaming is supposed to be more diverse.

One of the reasons I think Dukat is such an amazing villain is because he’s given a million chances to become a better person, and becomes even worse every time.

if you watched Merlin, Supernatural, Sherlock, and Doctor Who, and you want a show that will scratch that itch for you since their finales. You know, that SuperWhoMerLock itch you've been craving since 2013? Well, friend do I have a show for you:

Dead Boy Detectives

Go watch these British Queer Ghost-hunting Ghost Twinks and their mortal besties solve ghost mysteries!

You won't regret it. (and if you do you can beat me up). I swear, go watch it! Let Netflix know it should be renewed for more seasons!

I love Jenny so much. Like, she's a grown-up goth. She's sassy as hell. And she has the exact vibes that would make a good English teacher.

"you're not going to make a true crime podcast, right?"

She gets the millennial age group and up. A lot of inquiries about grisly murders do relate to true crime nowadays.
