UK version or BBC america version.

This is because season 5 is when it really leaves the source behind, or at least, starts taking the path away from source harder. I think S05e04 is the last episode I watched simply because too much was happening that wasn't source, which meant everything else to come that was going to be way out of whack. S04 really fucked me off though. I had been waiting for the battle of the wall for so long, all the other e09 episodes of seasons past were so good, then the battle at the wall felt so lackluster compared to what could have been. I really gave up on it after that.
The first few seasons though were absolute gold. I will never not feel good about stopping watching that given how much hatred the later seasons got. Never watched them, never will. Just like i'll never read the rest of the books cause he will never fucking release them.
If you compare AI 'slop' with great works of course its easy to dismiss it and bash it. But there is more human crap out there made each day than there is great works. Music, images, video, texts, all of it. For each piece of great work there is that you find, theres hundreds if not thousands of not so great works that are out there. AI works can be anything from 100% no human involvment besides the initial prompt. They can also involve time and work to get the prompt just the way the user wants. It's going to end up with more people being able to create more things. Not everyone can draw, or play music, or make movies. Not everyone has the time or money to put everything together thats needed to make something like a good song or a good movie. AI tools are going to give more people those chances, and yes there is going to be slop, but theres already been slop for decades that was all 100% human being made, that had no meaning, no symbolism, no clever literay allusions. So what exactly is the problem with people using AI generate something?
Knowledge, especially free and easily accessible knowledge is detrimental to elites. Under educated peoples are easy to coerce, control, manipulate, scapegoat, scare, etc. So the easier it is for people to educate themselves, or just be educated the worse it is. Capitalists by default want dumb workers who don't know the meaning of value, it's part of the reason theres been a massive anti-intellectualist push this last decade or so.
They have said some awful, totally not fact supported stuff in the past.
Like?
The Room by fireproof games. Probably one of the first actual proper mobile games. Its spawned clones no IAP, no crap. Just fun, hard af puzzles.
Hoplite. Fun little iso turn based roguelike. Vampire Survivors. Reverse bullet-hell roguelike. Has spawned so, so, so many clones.. GTA:Chinatown Wars Have not played this is a very very long time, but i'm sure it still holds up (if its available). Old school (2d birds eye view) gta style.
These are games that work well without a controller, The Room actually would play worse with one. If at all.
Then of course theres emulators and roms and stuff.
What exactly would you have them do?
In geopolitics, strongly worded letters (That is, diplomacy) is how most shit gets done. You want them to walk up to the podium and fight the thug? Shit aint as simple, or black&white as being able to do what they can. If they piss off the US they get bitch slap with toddler tariffs, as long as the biggest bullies in the yard hold the stick its really, really fucking hard for the normal sane people to actually do stuff. It's not like the US has warhawks in office or anything though, so other countries without much political pull should do more.....
Yes shit sucks, yes it could be better, and im very sure that the people in power (who actually want to) would be doing more if they could. Its not virtue signalling, its not kayfabe, its not performative. Its diplomacy. Its the difference between two teenagers throwing hands at a disagreement and two adults talking civil and constuctive. Want more to be done, help take the stick away from the bullies.
Oh, this is so true. I set it up and now can watch things anywhere. Even my kids who live 6 hours away can just jump on and watch that stuff. Jellyfin is what plex wanted to be, like 10+ years ago. I remember how stupid it was when they first started charging people to watch their own local media, it was funny at first because it was only on iphones that you had to pay. Then it was everywhere. They will continue to take features away until you pay.
Getting people to pay to watch their locally stored media?
Wouldn''t that be a warranty issue? The car is sold with self-driving, if self-driving caused an accident that is because the product sold didn't behave in the manner expected. This is of course only valid really for vehicles sold as fully self driving and not as an addition.
Though this really only applies in places with strong consumer protection laws lol.

Unfortunately a product of a writers strike at the time. Other shows also got hit, Bones was one that comes to mind. Theres also the fact that it didn't really seem well thought out on what to do with prisonbreak after they got out. How do you keep that same sort of pre-planning and genius level work that micheal put in to it all. but it was an eventful show. I fear that late 00s was the last time we got a big lineup of all those types of big shows. Streaming is all well and good, but its taken away the week-by-week talking about shows that used to occur. You watch the episode, the next day everyone was talking about it, coming up with theories and ideas, now its not a given that people all watch it at the same time, and with binge watching it has, for better or worse, just killed that sort of community that existed around tv shows.
