My Mind Is Blown #8. Content Warning.
Part #1 Part #2 Part #3 Part #4 Part #5 Part #6 Part #7 Final Warning: Spoilers Ahead! It has been a week since the end of not only Tolerance Is Extinction, but also the first season of the new X-Men series, X-Men '97. Yes, it has been confirmed the show will not be left on a cliffhanger, but will have at least a second season with a presently unknown premiere date. Thank goodness, because X-Men '97 is by far one of the best iterations of the X-Men to date, and no, that is not my biased opinion. Rotten Tomatoes has the show on the list of Best TV Shows for May 2024 with a 99% on the Tomatometer, surpassing its predecessor by 16%.

Be Nice and Slooow Down “Every Hallmark movie boils down to kindness. So much of what they say is just, like, ‘Come from a place of empathy—and have a lot of grace for people.’ Not only in romantic relationships but also in friendships and family relationships. Sometimes while I watch, I also think to myself that maybe I’m moving too fast and maybe I’m not giving anybody a chance. I think we know these lessons but get caught up in life. These movies are a nice reminder!”

Streaming Services
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.
