I think it was a deliberate choice to have a really upbeat sounding song with sinister lyrics. It very much matches the vibe of the show.

Reply to Horror movies - do they deliberately make characters so stupid things to stir the audience emotions up while watching? by geo_gan
I think it's hard to underestimate just how fucking dumb people can be. How many videos are there of people walking up to bison, bears, lions, etc, only to be horribly mauled because wild animals aren't like donkeys at a petting zoo?
Unless the story takes extra steps to say these characters are smart, I'm willing to have the benefit of the doubt that these people are just morons.

Reply to comment by AdvocateViolence in What tv series would have worked better as a film? by antonimbus
It was meant to be a film when they wrote it, then stretched it out to make a tv show.
Like Leia is kidnapped twice, they were definitely retreading ground because they didn't have enough material.

Kenobi for sure, moon knight, falcon and winter soldier, etc.
A lot of Disney plus ideas that just didn't have enough story for a show

The behind the scenes for breaking bad and better call Saul are fantastic, couldn't recommend them enough.
Best part of the breaking bad ones is what a shit Bryan Cranston is. Don't get me wrong, he's delightful, but he's constantly fucking with everyone and it's great.
One prank he would pull on Aaron Paul (Jessie) is pretending his character had been killed off. He'd go up to him, tell him how great it was working together on the show, and how he would do great things after leaving, only for Aaron to panic, rush to get the script, and find out he survives.

I disagree, we should make it three categories.
Miniseries, series, and megaseries.

Yeah, Poppy isn't very fun to watch a lot of the time.
I think the show has a bit of a tone problem, where it seems like it wants us to like and support the characters, but they're all terrible people.
With Its Always Sunny, they're also all terrible people, but you're not meant to like or agree with them. You watch to see them do ridiculous things and be humiliated.

Lack of chemistry and energy. Maybe I'm biased because of Raul Julia' Gomez, but it seemed like Guzman's dialogue was screaming for more life and energy than he was putting into the role

Arrested Development
When the number of episodes was cut from 24 to 13 in season 3, they made it a plot point that the housing development the family was supposed the build was also cut to 13 houses. Michael complaining about that is the writers complaining about the cut episodes.

Reply to comment by OppositeofDeath in Has there been any show TV shows or moments where META was used properly? by Birdygamer19
Yeah, there are technical aspects to storytelling that have to be achieved for it to count as a proper story. Like, the sequel of events has to make some sense, there has to be elements of cause and effect or it's just like listening to a 3 year old babble about their day at the zoo.

Reply to comment by someflow_ in ELI5 How do slipstreams work? by Da_Dokta
Yeah for sure, I guess I drew a line between the "slipstream" and drafting.
The first vehicle is "breaking" the air, so there's less resistance to the following vehicles. This is also why cyclists and birds tend to flock.
I was thinking of this as two different things and addressed one part, but really it's all a combination of factors.

Reply to ELI5 How do slipstreams work? by Da_Dokta
When something moves through air, it leaves an empty space behind it. New air moves to fill that space, which is the phenomenon you're calling a slipstream.
If it's a very large object moving quickly, like an 18 wheeler going down the highway, there can be a lot of air moving in behind it, and if you're close enough, you can be pulled along with the air.
The ideal distance will vary depending on the size and speed involved, but it's generally a bad idea because you need to be an unsafe distance from them. You're basically tailgating them.
A cross wind would have an effect, because the point of lowest air pressure behind the truck would move, but again, not really worth considering because you'd have to be right up their ass.
