What are you watching? (2)

So, what are you watching on television right now?

I am watching Civil Wars (Black Widow, nuf said, and the introduction of the Black Panther - about time).

I drove the boys around to get their fave foods and after they ate, we piled onto my bed to watch Fantastic Beasts on the big tv.

I was thrilled with black panther, he was the high point for me. They found a great actor for him.

  All the TV I consume now is like that. Almost all news or Econ or policy related. If I can, I get it on podcast so that I can play at speed. I don’t watch. I listen while driving or on my feet or net-surfing.
  
  I really wish I could play vid at 1.5 or 2.0 speed optimized for voice the way you can w a podcast - of you could just get the audio of every news or policy show uncut on podcast and play with a podcast player.
  
  there’s a buncha excellent TV out there. It all goes on the to-to list.
  
  Have never seen an episode of Breaking Bad or Walking Dead or so much else great stuff. Only a few of Sopranos and Game of Thrones.

Revolution. A couple years old alrwady, but it’s excellent. Really well done story so far.

Last episode mentioned Trump, and the one before showed a post apocalyptic wall between the US and Mexico. It’s a few years old, so that made it even funnier.

I don’t find it offensive, but it really surprises me Dad, who is generally frustrated by simplistic sitcoms, never misses an episode. But then, he loves Three Stooges and Abbott & Costello as well. You know that lightbulb moment when you realize your parent is really just a regular person after all?

  Joss’s Buffy is one of the great TV shows ever.
  
  Now his way of messing w the viewer’s head is a major meme on tvtropes.
  
  "Getting Jossed"
  http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Jossed
  
  A fan gets Jossed when the elaborate Epileptic Trees or Fanfic that they’ve lovingly built upon canonical elements is abruptly disproved by further canon or Word of God. Named after Joss Whedon; Buffy the Vampire Slayer was notorious for this. Fans would come up with detailed and elaborate theories or plots during summer hiatuses, most of which got completely thrown out within three episodes of the new season.
  May lead to Fanon Discontinuity when disgruntled fans prefer their own fanon over the canon. In extreme cases, critics and fans may invoke Death of the Author to preserve their interpretation of events.
  Note that in some circles, the term “Jossed” refers to a gutwrenching main character death, which Whedon is also famous for. This definition entered the populace when during a Q&A session at an Australian university, a young Aussie girl noted his tendency to do horrible things to on-screen couples, and to much laughter, said “We call it getting ‘Jossed’”. Other sources also use this term as “shocking plot twist.” This trope deals only with the “classic” definition.
  This has two opposites: I Knew It, where the fan theory is proven to be true by a twist that was planned all along, and Ascended Fanon, where the author decides to promote some fanon elements to canon status. The inverse of this is Shrug of God, where the author refuses to say that one answer is more “correct” than another.
