We are working our way through it now. The first season is absolute trash that is so dull and slow that it's almost impossible to watch. After that things pick up and start getting good. I'm told that you can skip the first season and come back and watch it later with an understanding of everything it's setting up. But I decided to watch the first season in proper order.
After we finished this it's on to Farscape.
Dan is the guy that knows stuff. Jordan is the loud sidekick comic relief.
I keep refreshing my pod feed waiting for the next episode.
I am waiting for the next episode to drop. Biggest episode ever.
That's certainly one way to read it. Except you don't know anything else about me. The problem isn't the interest in other identities. The problem is the complete clusterfuck of identities presented in that headline. Each additional descriptor narrows down the field of people it's talking about until you end up with n=1. It's so incredibly niche that most people, including myself, can't even picture what must be going on in the heads of these people. Maybe if there was a poster child that would help. But it would take a 30 minute podcast interview to delve into all of those aspects and help it all make sense. Just trying to square the religion plus anarchy section makes the brain hurt. And then we get more niche after that.
Each day on Lemmy I scroll and scroll and then I reach a headline where after reading it I have to parse what it says. And then I realize it's gibberish. And then I realize it's the bottom of the feed and what I'm reading has a negative score.
Today this was that post.
Please, let's not do this. Lets just enjoy sites that aren't toxic without making them toxic by written articles with headlines like this.
I've seen the effect. It's just like after Brazil cut Twitter off. My very niche account has been gaining new followers by the hour.
I have no idea how people interested in Heathcliff are being found by new people. Much less people interested in Heathcliff without Heathcliff.
Well, except his wife, and Mr Whatshisname. And the devil. They all went and came back.
Lando, his eyes closed.
After 11 months of daily posting to comics@lemmy.ml I have been banned so they are now fully without Heathcliff.
I'm not bitter about it. The mods in each group are free to decide what is in their community.
If you aren't familiar with this project here are the basics:
I remove Heathcliff from each day's Heathcliff comic. In most cases this preserves their absurdist, dada, anti-joke vibe because his presence is frequently irrelevant to the joke even though he is the titular character.
Every day except Sunday. On those days I add him to something he wasn't in.
I will post the original in the comments each day so you have a comparison available.
This isn't Garfield Minus Garfield. Those edits become introspective instead of more or the same level of surreal. Those where done selectively versus this project being daily.
Each day I remove Heathcliff from the current days Heathcliff comic*. On Sundays I add Heathcliff to something he wasn't in before.
We will not be rewatching that. I couldn't make heads or tails if it when it was on the first time and I'm definitely not trying to revisit it. But it is that bad.
