Reply to comment by keyserv in Watching That 70’s Show for the first time and it’s pretty good by Malfallaxx

I'm curious how That 90s Show is going to handle the ending of That 70s Show overall. Eric and Donna got to the point they were terrible and unbearable seeing those two together as a couple by the time Topher Grace left. Jackie and Fez were the worst pairing. I think majority of us preferred Jackie and Hyde but we all know Danny Materson is out of the picture.

I hope they disregard the entirety of season eight as a possibility.

Someone said that Jackie was going to be with Kelso in That 90s Show, which it's like... okay the actors are married in real life, but Jackie was always better with Hyde and it's not as if they couldn't just recast Hyde.

My That 90s Show idea that I came up with a week before they actually announced they were doing it would've had it turn out that Eric and Donna had a long discussion after the finale and decided that while they'll basically always love each other, their lives have always been going in different directions and that was especially true with her officially going to college finally, so they have like one last fling and then part as friends. And I just ignored the Jackie/Fez thing, instead I had Jackie has a multiple-times divorcee (she figured out she really liked having weddings but not being married) who was an egg donor for Fez and his common law husband.

It’s certainly debatable, but I’d rather not have Hyde at all than have him recast. Danny Masterson is a garbage-level human being that doesn’t deserve to come back, but he killed it in the original show. If you did bring him back, everyone would hyper-focus on whoever the new actor was and how it just “wasn’t Hyde”. Add to that the fact that Hyde as a character easily just fits into a throwaway “oh yeah he’s in jail”, so to me that’s definitely the best path

Fuck Danny Masterson, but it would be fucking awful to cap off Hyde’s character arc in the original with “Oh he’s in jail now.”

Personally I'd prefer “he's working at a photo shop in Chicago”

I just want to see Red finally put his foot up someone’s ass as promised. So many contenders.

Hopefully we will I'm curious about the new cast of kids too I think Leia will be fine as a new character from the small snippet we've seen of her so far.
