To quote the o.g. Quantum Leap:

"I'm retarded?"

Looks in mirror....yes I am

Every pitch from a millennial writer: “that thing from the 90s but gay and black”

Or 80s. Or 70s.

They're oc but That 70s Show [not woke] and more so Stranger Things [woke] show modern creativity can't do the present or pitch the future without it turning into a dumpsterfire like Picard. It has to be stuff in the past, just woke washed because of reasons.

Im personally tired of having homosexuality be consistently mentioned in the same breath as my race as if black people are inherently the same as people fucking each other in the ass

You should blame the left for that. They literally added a black stripe to the pride flag when every other color on there represents some degenerate gay shit.

Considering they rejected the actual original actor himself, there is no metric by which that works any longer.

Biggest name, never the best actor. It was never the best actor, just those who could get them the most tickets sold/biggest ratings.

The ending was good and I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who thought he met God.

Did the opening credits even list more than the 2 guys Al and Sam?

The future wasn't the point of the show. It all took place in the past with very few exceptions. Outside of AL the rest of the place could have been automated by Ziggy the super computer.

This is coming off like someone who caught a few reruns, or was told to do something with the IP so NBC didn't loose it, trying to shoehorn their views into something they don't understand.

I love this show. My mom watched it a lot when I was a kid I knew they would ruin it. But I expect these shows to be destroyed.

Considering everyone has been in their mother longer than their father has it's technically correct

two white females

If you were to go by modern TV/movies, you'd be convinced white men weren't even real.

I knew they would ruin it when I found out Samantha wasn't going to be the star, but some fucking Mary Sue.

Inclusion of everyone but white males ... is simply exclusion of white males. "No White Males" would be a shorter sign but it would also be too obvious.

"a world-renowned physicist, and a man of faith" (Muslim?) who is transported back to the late '80s and struck with a bout of amnesia – forgetting what made him time travel in the first place.

I mean, assuming he is muslim, wouldn't he just say it was Allahs will and call it a day?

Really? You see that, and you think 'I'll give it a look anyway'?

That's a fucking radioactive glow. It doesn't deserve one drop of your attention. Stop giving these things the oxygen of your attention. Suffocate them. They want you dead, respond in kind.

The post was essentially 'yeah it sounds bad but I'll give it a look anyway. Can't let every online outrage merchant decide everything for me.'

The sentiment of that state isn't automatically bad, but when you've got something as blatant as this, you should know you're looking at the work of people who hate your guts and would string you up if they could.

Realistically, if at this stage you haven't developed a gut feeling that you can trust about this kind of shit, you deserve bad entertainment.

But I kinda gathered that was the gist of what he said, more curious about the response that was deleted.

"Can't let every online outrage merchant decide everything for me.'".

But they'll let every online propoganda hypemachine do it.
