36 minutes? No one’s got time for that.

Susan’s the Doctor’s granddaughter, who traveled with the First Doctor through Season 1 and the first two serials of Season 2. She was supposed to be about 15 years old.

She leaves the show after The Doctor saw her flirting with an older guy in post apocalyptic London. The Doctor, knowing what was best for her, came up with the pretense of going into the Tardis briefly to repair one of her shoes, then locked the door and took off so she could continue her relationship.

To recap, The Doctor left a 15 year old kid in a post apocalyptic hellhole with some guy she just met and no change of clothes, no toothbrush, and only a single shoe.

The First Doctor was kind of a dick.

I take it you didn’t read the article?

The showrunners have said that they won't go beyond the source material, so once they've told the story of The Last of Us Part II video game, that's it.

Terminator the Sarah Connor Chronicles: Oh c’mon, gonna cliffhanger me right after John and Sarah time jump into a post apocalyptic wasteland?

The Acolyte: I’d have loved to get Qimir’s backstory and find out what’s up with the Darth Plagueis tease.

As for abandoned arcs: Sliders with the alternate Professor Arturo.

There were multiple possible endings for both Geralt and Ciri, including endings where Ciri survives.

Kevin was in trouble at the start of the film. They could have very easily had his mom take his phone away before sending him to his room.

After arriving in Paris, Kevin’s mom frantically calls his phone… only for a suitcase to start ringing. Oops!

I grew up hearing, “The initial selling point of cable was that it was ad-free, then they started adding ads.”

But the reality now is that they’re offering ads for a couple bucks cheaper, and all my idiot neighbors are foaming at the mouth to subscribe, so in a few years there won’t be a market for ad-free anymore.

Yes.

The very basics of the universe is that there was a republic that lasted thousands of years, but then was toppled and a totalitarian regime was instituted (The Empire.) After 20 years, a group of rebels toppled The Empire and made a new republic.

Andor takes place during the 20 years of the empire, focusing on the formation of the rebellion. It is significantly lower fantasy than most of Star Wars, which features characters who can channel mystical powers (The Force.) The Force is almost completely absent from Andor. A lot of people who don’t really like the supernatural elements like Andor for that reason.

I think the author just doesn’t get the story The Last of Us is telling.

It’s a story about loss, and how that changes people. Both characters start the story having lost someone, and neither wants to form a relationship again, but then they find each other. And they’re so afraid to go through loss again that they’ll do monstrous and selfish things to avoid it.

We’re not supposed to see Joel and Ellie as heroes. They’re complex characters that we’re supposed to empathize with even though we know they are broken people.

Go was the one connected to a cable subscription. Now was the cable-free subscription.
