    Too much TV is this now.

    I can't remember what the original was about but I recall someone quoting it in regard to Star Trek: Discovery: "The characters cried more than I did". There's literally a whole episode (the first part of season 2 finale) where the whole thing is just characters meeting other characters and then crying about how sad they are. Characters I don't like and don't know.

    There's so much media that tries to weighty and emotional and none of it lands because it's unearned or inappropriate.

    When I genuinely felt sad that characters in DS9 were moving on with their lives I wasn't sad because people were giving big speeches on screen and blabbing lines through snot and tears, but because I actually liked the characters.

    Everything is written backwards now. Happened with GoT too. Epic moments, meme lines, and the story are happening whether it makes logical sense for these characters or not.

    Get outta the way tone, characters, and themes, the story's coming through!!! HONK HONK OUTTA THE WAY!!! WE NEED THIS QUOTE UPLOADED IN GIF FORM FOR TWITTER ONE MINUTE AFTER IT AIRS!!! EAT THE SLOP PIGGIES.
