    Now that there are multiple trans actors and actresses around and no company has gone out of business for casting one Disney will do it. I am glad they are doing it and they can never go back, but Disney is not a pioneer in this area.

    It also seems a bit strange to me that these people are outing themselves. It has to be hard for them because it seems to me the ideal level of being trans is not to be trans at all, but to be completely in that gender role. This is probably why certain trans people want others to not point out they are trans. It is not playing pretend, but rather the reality you do not ask a cis woman if she was once a man.

    I'm shocked that a television series based on a shitty overrated movie is actually shitty.

    Shocked, I say!

    I saw the first ep, I liked it well enough. It's no LOTR, but if you are looking for light fantasy fare it's worth a watch.

    As to online reveiws, I'm way past giving a shit. There's lots of different ways things can be enjoyable.

    As I’ve said before, if critics actually knew anything they’d be getting rich creating content instead of telling creators they’re doing everything wrong.

    The best critic who ever lived was Roger Ebert, and he hated "A Clockwork Orange".
    Nuff said.

    Ah streaming shows. Have any gotten past five seasons? I really would be interested in comparing longevity (and episode count) to traditional tv shows.

    Of the ones I can think of that have, they're all amongst Netflix's earliest shows that premiered before 2015.

    I'm not a "every show needs to go on indefinitely" gal but at least back in the day we had Nielsen ratings, flawed as that methodology was, to give people some idea if they could expect their fave show to return or not.

    Now, no one has any damn idea. Willow was supposedly among the top streamed shows on D+ but apparently that's not enough. :sigh*
