Commentary on science fiction, fantasy, internet culture and roleplaying games.

With more streamers returning to the old fashioned week-by-week release of shows and those that don’t often paying the price, it might be the end for the all-at-once drop

It just means I wait for a full season to drop, then watch it.

Actually, I usually now wait for at least the second season to start filming before I will bother to watch the first.

I know this makes me basically irrelevant to the streaming companies' metrics of whether a show is successful or not but after the canning of The Peripheral, I no longer care.

I still have a stack of books to read that is taller than I am.

I still enjoy a show even if it’s never finished. Hell, most of the time if I never see a second season show up on Plex I forget it even existed.

I understand you point but many series that are adaptations use the first series to set up the world for the rest of the seasons. The Peripheral and Foundation are both examples of this.

When they cut them off it pisses me off.

I love binging but they are right. I do a whole season in 2 days and love it but in 363 days when S2 drops I no longer give a shit.

They should bring back commercials while they're at it
