I don't remember if it was the narrator or a guest who said it, but there was a lot of focus on how Hemingway was already so fixated on suicide by the time of the novel.

Yes, the novel's main character Robert Jordan talks about his father committing suicide and how it was shameful. But the documentary makes it seem like Robert Jordan was going to do it because of what I suppose could be called usual reasons, which leads you to think it was something Hemingway was already priming himself for.

In the novel, he only considers it because he doesn't want to be captured by the enemy and tortured, which I could see as legitimate. At the end he actually decides to ready himself to attack the oncoming Fascist troops. The novel's ending is ambiguous.

I know documentaries aren't safe from bias, and maybe I am wrong, and Hemingway was a mess of a human, but as I reflect on it I don't think how the documentary approached things sat right with me.

The original was posted on /r/television by /u/Inovox on 2023-06-27 14:51:15+00:00. *** Alright, so here's why I actually prefer the new system of watching shows. I think now I have more appreciation for shows in general than I used to, because what TV used to be for me was a lot more casual. Kinda what YouTube shorts are for me now. Like, I spend the average night now just going scrolling through YouTube shorts, you know, for maybe an hour, 30 minutes to an hour. It's a daily thing for me at this point because the algorithm knows me so fucking well. I don't spend a lot of time doing it, not as much as some people, but I still spend a lot of time doing it haha, and that's the time I used to spend watching tv.

I used to just sit there, turn my brain off and watch tv. It was a very mindless way of watching things, you know? And now I feel like I'm a lot more mindful when I watch something on streaming, because A, I have to actually pick what I'm watching, so I tend to care a lot more about what I end up viewing, and then B I get to watch it in order. On TV, you would usually just channel surf and watch shit in random order, so you could never really follow every episode unless you were super dedicated, or if it was a serialized show, basically you had to be one of the super fans if you were following every episode every week, showing up at the same time. With streaming, all you have to do is wait until the next season drops, and then you can watch it all at once and on your own time. There is no schedule for the shit.

And personally, I just like that system a lot better because it ensures that I can actually experience it, you know, like I can actually experience the whole show because something I always felt when things were airing was I could turn on a show and be like, yeah, I don't understand what the fuck is happening, because I didn't see the previous episodes. And then back then dude, catching up on the old episodes was a lot harder. Like basically if you weren't watching the show from the start, you might as well not even try to catch up because gonna be going to the library trying to find DVDs, scouring for those fucking box sets. And back then that shit was a lot of money just to catch up with the show, just to know what the fuck is going on. And then on top of that, to catch the next episode, you gotta tune in every week at the specified time and record that shit, or you're lost. I don't miss that shit at all now.

Now if we're talking episode shows, it was probably better then. I think the TV format worked best for those shows. In a sense, TV was a better version of YouTube shorts because it was like casual content. And I feel like it was better casual content, where you actually got characters you could get attached to for years. And I mean, you could argue you can do the same thing with a YouTuber. It's just not quite the same thing as what we had.

There was just something about the overall experience of TV back then. I think it was less about the individual shows, and I think it was more about just the idea of "This is my channel, I turn it on and I like the average show on this channel" And I think that's what it was about. It was more about like a whole experience created by the channel. So I think what some people miss isn't the shows in specific (since there are still great shows made today), it was the experience of the way the shows were released and the way we could just kind of turn on the TV and we get this whole experience.

Now you have to make your own experience. It's easier to get everything, but you have to make your own experience where back then everything was just given to you. All you had to do was sit there and watch it. But personally, for my viewing habits, I prefer the active method because I can get so much more out of each show, although in a sense the experience is lesser, where back then, even though you were watching random episodes of the shows, you're getting more of a rich experience on the overall channel. So I think it's a trade off. And overall, personally, I kind of prefer what we have now.

I mean, let's take Breaking Bad. I would never have been able to watch all the episodes of Breaking Bad in order without Netflix. So I would never have the best experience of my favorite show. And back then, I mean, you would've had to watch it week by week. It's just so much better to watch Breaking Bad on Netflix or watch a whole anime on Netflix. Like, how the fuck, were you gonna catch a whole anime on Cartoon Network, like trying to catch every episode on Toonami? You just couldn't, and for the type of viewer I am, I'm the type of person that likes to see every episode. I like to experience the entire show. Now back when I was just an episodic or casual person where I just turned on the tv, watched my cartoons, enjoyed myself, then turned off the TV and went to bed, I probably probably preferred the old system. It's just that I want more out of TV now. So I prefer being able to watch an entire show in order. That's just me.

That's all I gotta say. It's, it's a trade off. And personally, I'm happier with, I think we gained a lot more than we lost. We lost the channel experience, but we gained a much more passionate, comprehensive, and rich experience with our shows. Alright. I'll stop it here. Let me know your own thoughts on this. Thanks for reading.

My premise is no one is GREAT at both equally. I know the word "equally" implies that it is measurable while it is not, but even in the subjective POV, I still can't detect anyone in that area, imagine like the star is split into twins and we can judge them separately if that helps you get what I mean, feel free to prove me very wrong.

Examples:

Will Smith is great at both, but he is clearly a bigger movie star.

Bryan Cranston is great at both, but he is clearly a bigger TV star.

Morgan Freeman is mainly a movie star, if we exclude the voice acting.

Matt Leblanc is obviously a TV star, although acted in 8 films.

P.S. this is just for a fun discussion and not for firing arguments at each other.

It reminded me a tiny bit of Hacks, but Hacks has exceptional writing and acting, and Jean Smart is such a talented actress. Watching something that misses the mark really highlights the difference between quality and shows that miss the mark. Also Kim cattrell looks a bit like Jean smart. Kim isn’t a bad actress, but Jean is outstanding.

Without any spoilers, it has a lot in common with the current tv show Silo. It crams a lot into six episodes. Can’t help thinking it would probably have worked better as a multi-season story with the big reveal saved for cliffhanger at end of season one. It’s a shame it ended up in SyFy’s graveyard of programs.

Maybe she could be a retired government agent or supe that The Boys get in touch with to help her combat Vought and Homelander?

Now that her career is completely and utterly dead there's no real expectations for her to live up to her girl next door image which she's tried to shed in the past...
