I get what that sentiment, and share it to a degree, but I also have come around to the following - sometimes, it's better to have that one season than none at all (or the inverse, drag on for too many). Stumptown needed one more at least, but it tied up well in the end. (some loose threads).

It had a fantastic cast. Highly recommend watching it. Shoot, is it streaming anywhere?

Stumptown trade with Dex on the cover.

After reading this, I looked up the show. It got great reviews, but COVID hit and the already-greenlit second season was canceled. I guess I’ll stick to the source material.

Stumptown! That is one of the shows that should have gotten more love and should still get more love. With all the threads of one-season shows* that should have had more seasons, Stumptown is unfortunately forgotten amidst the usual suspects.

*Need to add the brilliant Terriers to the list.

film stills from The Last Man on Earth

I can't afford the luxury of anger. Anger can make me vulnerable.

It can destroy my reason, and reason is the only advantage I have over them.

They canceled Star Trek Lower Decks for CW soap opera HDR aesthetics. Full circlejerk JJ Abrams.

And this is another reason why I canceled Paramount+ after they canceled Late Show with Colbert.

Travis’ cover looks so much better and realistic than the Academy poster.

Having just read both books back to back, it is disappointing that the Batman/Deadpool issue isn't getting more love. Both were far more entertaining than I expected them to be and had some really good stories and art.

But Bat & 'Pool fatigue is real; rather enjoyed the other pairings more.

Comics Scene was my favorite magazine growing up, more so than Wizard.

Also, pretty funny they seemed to have replaced Angel with Batman in that line up.

Sarah Palmer screams in terror.  (Frank Silva a member of the film crew can be seen in the mirror. This was unintentional and considered a happy accident.  Frank would later go on to play BOB). Twin Peaks S01E01 - Northwest Passage.

Bong Joon Ho took a characteristically radical approach when questioned on his thoughts around the rise of Al technology at the jury press conference of the Marrakech Film Festival on Saturday.
The Korean director, who is president of the jury, gave two responses, one measured, the other deeply personal.
"My official answer is, Al is good because it's the very beginning of the human race finally seriously thinking about what only humans can do. But my personal answer is, I'm going to organize a military squad, and their mission is to destroy AI," he said.

WRITING TIP, something simple but it catches many of us out: if you have a great/fun idea for your story, *use it now*.

Don’t save your ideas for some nebulous other story you might write tomorrow. I promise you’ll have more.

Break your story’s status quo. Go a step further. Use the big idea.

Tribute to a Father In which we discuss recent events in our lives, paying tribute to Lisa's father, and making space for grief.

Two weeks ago, Lisa lost her father. In August, he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. While we’ve hovered around this topic in recent episodes, we’ve avoided discussing it outright. Today, we were compelled to put it into record: www.comicbookcouplescounseling.com/post/tribute...
