9-1-1
Season 4 of 9-1-1 seemed to do slightly better at the actual storylines. They were definitely still ridiculous but there was no random intense arc in the middle of the season. That said the end of the season drama felt rushed and incomplete. We are starting season 5 with 9-1-1 on the fritz. Cell phone providers are apparently sending random calls and sending random alerts. This obviously starts the season off in an exciting way for our favorite first responders.

Carrie is the worst part of Sex and the City, but Charlotte and the other girls are definitely who we all watch and rewatch the show for. So I am doing an article for each of the girls highlighting all the reasons that they are amazing. Charlotte is one of my favorites, she is elegant, smart and very sweet. She is also a little neurotic but in a super adorable way. She is the traditional friend who does a great job of balancing out Samantha.

Everyone has their favorite Sex and the City girl. The one you claim as yours. We all also have our favorite boyfriends, and we definitely have our least favorite characters. So we are going to rank the Sex and the City characters, the women obviously and the corresponding boyfriends. I will also be including a small subcategory for where Stanford should fit in.

We ended season 2 with Big being engaged to another woman and Carrie being a little nuts about it. Miranda and Steve realize that being just friends is a little harder than they thought and Charlotte and Samantha continue to be the life of this show. We have a lot of horrible Carrie moments coming up in this next season so I suppose we should just get started. Here is season 3 of Sex and the City.

Will they, won’t they is a classic media trope that when used well can captivate audiences for years on end. The problem with framing any stories around with this trope is that once a writer chooses to actually get the main characters together the show quality generally suffers. If too much hype, tension or story is built up around the central relationship then everything falls apart when they finally get together. On the other hand there are a handful of shows where after the will they, won’t they couple gets together the show quality stays the same, or in even rarer cases, increases. We are going to talk about both and what makes a good use of the will they, won’t they trope.

Redemption arcs are a common character device for writers to use in pretty much all genres of writing. Whether it be drama, fantasy or adventure there is sure to be a redemption arc for someone. Some are done not so well (Snape), and some are done very well. Those are the stories we are going to talk about. We know that I am very passionate about character driven stories and redemption arcs are a huge part of that. So here is a list of characters I think have the best character development of all time. Some of these aren’t necessarily redemption arcs but they do demonstrate incredible development and drastic positive changes.

Streaming services have changed a lot about how television is both made and consumed. From shorter seasons, to harder renewals, streaming has its pros and cons. And though I still firmly believe that writers have more creative freedom and story quality is better overall with streaming services there are several things about the streaming model that need to be changed in order for working conditions for creatives to improve AND for consumer experience to be better. We are in an era where streaming services are struggling, they are bundling across owners and basically setting us back to cable anyway.

Okay we have now been watching Shang-Chi for a month and a half. There has been a drinking game that has been crafted and played and we have assessed the film’s comic book accuracy. We are doing our best to keep this journey interesting for ourselves. We are now doing a companion podcast where we are watching (or rewatching) all of the MCU movies. We will also have a guest soon and we’ve got a few other ideas that are going to keep everyone entertained for a while.

Gilmore Girls remains one of the most popular shows from the early 2000s. Its popularity sparks lots of internet discourse and there has been much discussion on the characters and their quality as people. So of course, as part of our regularly scheduled Gilmore Girls discussion we will be ranking the main characters of the show. By main characters I really just mean the Gilmores and anyone they’ve slept with. Perhaps we will do a second list with all of your Stars Hollow favorites but for now let’s keep it mainstream.
