A lot of the characters change throughout the series, probably most notably Donna, Audrey, and Ben, but I don’t really see people ever talk about how different Cooper is at the start.

Rewatching the series, probably the most striking thing to me is how Cooper acts in the first couple episodes. He’s genuinely an entirely different character.

He’s pretty much always smiling with a wide toothy grin. He’s absolutely fascinated by everything around him, but unlike later episodes, his fascination feels obsessive rather than respectful. I couldn’t imagine Cooper in S2 stopping Truman on the way to examine a body so he could steeple his hands, stare daggers into him, and ask what trees are outside

I’m being sarcastic when I say that of course. There is for sure a slump, but it never felt like something I had to trudge through. I don’t personally consider the slump to truly start until Masked Ball, because I do really like the funeral episode along with the character interactions therein and the idea of having to solve another mystery specifically to get Cooper out of trouble, along the cliffhanger was very intriguing! (though I could see how the new mystery of cooper's investigation being uninteresting on a rewatch cause this basically goes nowhere).

I personally never liked Audrey and Cooper's relationship, because she is 18 and still in high school. Coop shouldn’t be in a relations

I’ve always found it funny when a film gets a musical adaptation that then gets adapted into a film. Recently, of course, we got Wicked, which was a book adapted into a movie that a book was based on adapted into a musical adapted into two movies, but there’s also, for example:

- Chicago - Play > Musical > Film

- Hairspray - Film > Musical > Film

- Mean Girls - Film > Musical > Film

- Les Mis - Book > Musical > Film

- Rent - Book > Opera > Musical > Film

I'll admit I was thrown off by Matt at first hearing him in promotional material for the special in February, but after watching it I realize he's an incredible fit. He's not Jim Henson, and he's not Steve, but Steve isn't Jim either! I've been watching The Muppet Show all the way through for the first time and whenever I hear Steve I can't help but notice just how off he is. That's not bad, he's just a different person. And tbh Matt's voice isn't all that different, it’s really mainly just deeper than Jim and Steve’s. I often see people trying to caveat that Matt’s Kermit voice "is bad sure, but his puppetry/singing voice is a perfect match!” as if we need to sacrifice his voice being “

Hello! I’ve been getting into Sonic lately. Honestly I can’t believe I’ve gone my whole life with such little knowledge on the franchise.

So far, I’ve tried to play the original Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic Advance, and Sonic Adventure 2, but I just don’t enjoy any of them really. I’m looking for opinions on what to try from here.

I like most video games. I genuinely rarely find a game I just put down because I dislike it, but I’ve quit Sonic 1, SA2, and Advance because it was either outright unfun or in the case of Advance, I didn’t like it all that much and the final boss was too frustrating for me to want to keep playing it.

I liked the Adventure style of gameplay much more than

Hello everyone! While I'm sure we're all excited for the future of SSS after the recent announcement of Jacob and Julia's upcoming baby, this does warrant a reminder about parasociality.

There is a line that can be crossed, so please make sure that you avoid prying into their personal lives, especially when their child is born, and avoid rude or uncomfortable comments about them or the situation. As a rule of thumb, don’t make comments you wouldn’t be willing to tell them to their faces. Importantly this does not condone uncomfortable comments you would say to them in per

Every single thing she says feels sarcastic, knowing, and passive aggressive, and it's all with a wide, thin, fake looking smile. It's eerie and feels like everything she says is a lie. It feels like she's luring James into a trap, and that all comes to a head in the "ANYWAY" and "I'm not your Mary" scenes, of course.
