    Remember when flashbacks used to take 10-30 seconds instead of interrupting the story by spending an entire episode going into pointless detail about things you’ve been given no reason to care about yet?

          Anyone else remember that one season of bleach where 15 minutes of every episode was a recap of the entire series up to that point for padding?

          Slightly better than another horrible filler arc.

        I watched nearly a thousand episodes of One Piece before finally giving up when they did a 17 episode flashback for a story that could have been told through exposition.

            It’s my wife’s all time favorite show, so I really tried. Some of the early arcs were a drag (cough, cough, Arabasta, cough). But from Water 7 through Marineford it just got better and better, and I really enjoyed it. Even after the time skip Dressrosa and Whole Cake were for the most part engaging. But man, Wano was such a slog. By the time they finished the flashback, I just didn’t give a shit about that island anymore. I’m tempted to just skip to Egghead, or give One Pace a shot.

        Did you mean: 40 second elevator scene?

        Did you mean: slow pan across still frame?

        Did you mean: three-frame loop for internal dialog?

    And a season would be 36, maybe 72 episodes long, for syndication. Nowadays you get 10. Maybe another 8 if it does super well. And then that’s it, because Netflix is fully “no take only throw” about time-sinks like The Office.

      Seriously. Parks n Rec, too, which took 2.5-3 seasons to really find it’s footing and voice for its characters would’ve been doomed if it was released nowadays.

      Some of me even have eight for the first season.

      The only thing I didn’t like was the Vicious scenes. I found them kind of cringe (nothing against the Julia and Vicious actors, they acted their lines as best they could). But the scenes of the crew doing adventures I generally found pretty fun and engaging.

        That was my opinion on it too. I didn’t like how they changed his character. Everything else was fine.
