  1. It seems as well, that almost every series that I watch on Netflix has a major role for an alphabet character, even if that issue plays no role in the actual story. I guess their analytics model for content creation says that’s what we want.

    BTW, Kate, a big part of the reason I tune in to SDA is to admire the cleverness of your story titles and photo captions. Keep it up.

    1. That includes anything produced by Mark Harmon and by Max Thieriot. Homo Promos seem to be the thing.

      Thieriot must have left Seal Team when the producers refused to go homo promo. “This is Seal Team, not Fire Island.” they told him. This likely gave him the idea for Fire Country.

  2. Who would watch it?
    TV ads for a gay hockey show are on somewhere – maybe Crave? – and who does that appeal to?
    My guess is liberal women and gays who probably never watch hockey unless its the Olympics so basically nobody.

    1. Crave’s (better known as Deprave) signature program is about Trannies. And they wonder why I refuse to subscribe.

    2. Somehow I’ve found myself watching a couple of movies ‘live’ instead of recording them and skipping the dumb commercials.
      And there is Crave, or Depraved, as I call it. Indeed, they love their Drag programming, don’t they? Anyways, they’re promoting their gay woo woo ‘hockey’ series. Whatever. It’s not appealing, whatsoever, and, given hockey culture, it’s fcking stupid.
      The core audience, who are typically Gen Y & Z, will avoid this crap.
      I don’t care how much recycled TV crap Depraved has acquired to show. Old reruns are time wasters.

  3. TV viewing hasn’t changed in my 70 years, from 2-500 channels, mostly crap, ain’t got time for that.
    Grandpa liked AllStar wrestling. At the end he’d laugh, hit the spitoon and say Bullshit.

  4. Apparently Jennie and the Canadian military are asking them to move the series here and film in Canada.

  5. My Son and daughter in law were up for a visit this week and one evening they were playing Hallmark Christmas Bingo where you check the boxes of formulaic content. The game was missing the “requisite gay couple” box that everything seems to have these days.

    1. My wife likes those Christmas Hallmark picket fence movies. But, she OD’d on them the past few years. This year, she just says Oh, I’ve seen this one, turn it!
      Even she sees the light, for how corny, predictable and cringeworthy all those shows are. They’re made for 12 year olds and grannies in old folks homes.
      It’s bewildering when you realize that the BC film industry is largely built around cringeworthy, formulaic productions that go straight to W channel schlock TV, it’s not just ‘Christmas’ shows. There will be an end to producing the same movies and script and just changing the faces and locations.
      It’s IDIOCRACY come to life.

      1. Stop me if your wife knows this one …

        An adorable young single mom works for a small town cookie company known for its sensational Christmas cookies and has defined the character of the local picket fence town for a hundred years. But a handsome young, ruthless corporate developer, has bought the entire block of the town where the cookie company is located and is planning to build a new mid rise corporate office building. They meet at the local Christmas market … and they fall in love. Their love eventually convinces him that his rapacious capitalist pig lifestyle needs to change to save the town character for her little son. He changes careers and becomes a preservationist and environmentalist. They serve Christmas cookies at their outdoor wedding festooned in sparkly twinkling lights.

  6. Speaking of Hollywood we all know what happened to Rob Reiner and his wife at the hands of his mentally unstable, drug addicted son. My condolences to the family. I’m a big fan of Reiner’s work, especially the Princess Bride, but not much a fan of his outspoken political beliefs (calling your President a moron doesn’t help anyone). I don’t know Rob Reiner but I recently watched a video interview of him commenting on Charlie Kirk’s assassination. I feel he should be remembered within the context of that interview.

    As for gayness in Hollywood, it’s as if someone said “be yourself” and we are finally get a good look into the minds of these “creative” people. I’ll take a pass thanks.

  7. The other day I wanted to watch a multi part series on Alexander the Great on Netflix. Not five minutes into the first episode, two half-naked sweaty greek warriors (I assume one of them was Alex) start making out, and not the 50’s Hollywood type of kiss. They just can’t help themselves. 100% gay, all the time, in your face.
