One I hate that I am unsure of a term for but I call it “Family time” is when a show or movie makes everyajor twist revolve around the main characters family…

Star Wars is a great example that no one notices it in

Darth Vader is Lukes father Leia his sister

Both rolls could have worked without those twists

But it is far worse in other shows and series or even ruins them for me

Fringe was ruined by it imo

Slow horses is falling into this trap with season 4

It’s a cheap ploy to try and make the moment or stakes more dramatic by involving the characters in ediate family as ploys or villains. At the same time it just feels out of place most of the time that the entire world these characters are in revolve around 1 family.

So many shows use this trope but I don’t even see a proper term calling it out and at the same time it has ruined so many shows and just shows a lazy writing or plot narrative.

The author does not know how to write for the dramatic response they want the audience to have for the villain or ploy so they make some dramatic reveal that their family member was secretly involved making it more difficult for the main characters to make decisions or take action.

More ashamed of my country than ever and feel stuck here. From California and feel like we have some dead corpse strapped to us.

Everything after ffx just dropped in quality

As an accountant and finance person I promise you “business major” and c-suite are not one in the same here…most of us are never allowed to rise that high due to nepotism and we’re just chugging along trying to make a living the same as the devs. I’d love to work for a company where the emphasis wasn’t on this short term ensuitication BS. It isn’t like entry and mid level accounting and finance folks are the ones pushing for this most of this nonsense. We just get dictated all the bs from the top and report/forecast the numbers.

Tad Williams low key you get no GOT or GRRM without him. If you ever read the memory, sorrow and thorn series of books you basically see where much of the inspiration for GOT came from

I loved the series

Some of the short stories are hit or miss but they are short and worth reading either way and only short

This was back when everything square made was gold

Then right around square became square enix and finished ffx it all just went downhill
