Autism and other personality disorders don't make you smarter or faster, either...
Ewww to "I'm a bitch"/"I'm an asshole" as a personality trait
Both movies were loved by their target demographic: children
I don't see what makes the last two cult-like?
I'd be pissed, too
Ok so I went digging and found some things. It must not have been ProPublica piece but it WAS widely reported -
Personally I'd say neither! If I had to give it a name, I'd say....Lore Episode
I think whether that episode is warranted really depends on the vibe of the rest of the show. Lore doesn't matter for most of them but it matters a LOT for others. Like Star Trek wasn't only about the lore, but can you imagine the fandom without it?
Ah, ok. I'm guessing the law is that pay cards can't be the only option then
Alas, I have not. But that's an early episode, were Bill and Frank are doing something that establishes their characters or motivations? Brings them closer together? Filler episodes are more like irrelevant sidetracks so unless they went to the beach to get a break from the zombies, I don't think that necessarily fits the definition.
I've never heard of McDonald's employees getting paid in preloaded cards, is that true? I know plenty of people do it to avoid taxes but McDonald's is a major employer and that's pretty damn illegal
I know the exact kind of episode you mean but a filler episode is the exact opposite, it's an episode that doesn't advance the plot in any way.
I tried to find a term for an episode that can't stand on its own but came up short so I'd like to propose a term:
Bridge Episodes.
An episode that is useless without the episodes connected to either side.
Maybe anon should get some better games
