    Re: TV: There She Is, The Old Radiation King

    I disagree. The point of the show is her friendships and the truth is none of those people should even look in her direction anymore. You can only go so far down the rabbithole before it loses its luster. If they kept having her be awful then the other characters make less sense to have around.

    She will never be redeemed, but she cant be the raging sociopath she was either or the minuscule audience the show has will just stop watching.

      There are a thousand shows like that. I don't disagree that's the show the TV people thought they were getting. But I think it's a lot better than that. There are aspects of the show that are so smart that I don't think it is just a dumb cliche at a foundational level.

      Now, it may be eroding -- it's not unusual for interesting shows to regress to the dullard norm as they go on. And there's obviously a lot of pressure on it to conform because a smart show is ratings poison. But I wanted to believe it was a much stronger middle finger to background tropes -- much like Community.

      Don't disabuse me of my illusions. There are so few TV shows that are even remotely original or interesting. "Radio is the theater of the mind and TV is the theater of the mindless." So, if I've fooled myself into believing this is better, don't tell me there's no Santa. I'll figure it out in time.

        The TV people have little control over the show. They have pretty much let them make the show they wanted despite the fact that no one watches it. This is the creators story it will go where they want it to and my guess is they want her happy at the end. (which my guess will be next season)

          Of course she'll be happy at the end.

          Daisy Buchanan is happy at the end, in the smoldering wreckage of everyone else.

          That's the point.

          According to Dr. Mrs., the 4-year arc is ironclad. It ends next year, hell or high water.
