I don't think you want to reveal that stuff too early so it belongs in S2. It's just that they had two stand-alone episodes in a row. I'm sure we'll be back in the thick of it next week. Only two episodes remaining in the season.Kryptonic wrote: ↑Sat Mar 08, 2025 2:57 amDefinitely feels like all tone, no substance….

You're so right.

Re: Movies / TV Shows
A lot of these shows have that midseason lull where they've set up a bunch of cool stuff in episodes 1-2 and then they dick around until episode 8 or 9 and then suddenly all the cool shit happens. It's annoying. Just make 5-6 episodes if you don't have enough good content.
