@robantosaker also, showing the out-of-touch white guy CEO in that scene actually gives the audience some perspective/sympathy for gloria. she reports to that dude, so now we know more about what she's dealing with up in her managerial ivory tower when she comes down to annoy robby.
@robantosaker and how did the CEO replace gloria? gloria was mentioned during s2, so she's still around. same people would've complained about WOC being reduced to sympathy catalysts for robby if gloria had been there in place of the CEO for that scene, bc his role had no redeeming qualities.
@robbys_toupee yeah, if you ignore the "[in Episode 1]" they added to the quote, it just sounds like he was referring to Robby's sabbatical extending beyond 3 months, not that he's starting his shift later than expected during hour 1.
@melinasmansion i was a regular listener to both of his pods like 5 years ago and thought he might do a good job and make it fun when i saw he was host of this & i was so wrong. he clearly didn't prep and thought he could goof his way through it, and he came across so obnoxious and disrespectful
@aliceadamee all of the legit racist shit in the world rn they ignore while obsessing over getting this show cancelled, bc they fell for a social media hate campaign targeting the jew that's on the promo posters & is contradictory to 100% of the testimony from anyone that's been on set irl.
@aliceadamee the only thing going viral about that panel is how shit lovett was at hosting -- most people just feel bad for the cast, but that awkwardness doesn't reflect poorly on them. tbh it's nice that pittwt is hating on someone other than noah today.
@Iilithsternin right?? this is supposed to be the ~Robby is finally getting help~ season, seems like it'll be pretty easy to keep psych involved in the narrative
@aliceadamee lots of similarly acclaimed & more accessible scifi shows than plurb have failed to win. the pitt has attracted a weird tantrum-prone online fandom, but the industry loves it and everybody watches it now. historical trends still give pitt the edge this year.
@aliceadamee there's only been one scifi show to ever win drama series emmy - LOST won once when it was all anyone was talking about in 2005. i know vg has a lot of good will in the industry, but BCS was great and never won anything. apple will make a big push but pluribus still aint a lock.
@aliceadamee like if you look at the bottom line, 2 seasons of the pitt isn't enough to retire; but the value of that level of exposure for an unknown actor is like hitting the lottery. wtf are we doing acting like she needs a gofundme bc she wasn't paid an A-list rate?
@wetoldy@treeleavesblue1 **threatening them. you can't tell from the article, but shawn started shaking in fear when they asked him about working w/noah, and he actually said all of that while sobbing.
@aliceadamee π€· maybe, idk i'll believe it when it happens, everybody predicted sev would dominate awards last year. when celebs get asked about current shows they love, i see them mentioning the pitt way more now than i did after season 1.
@Variety best drama on television right now and y'all want to turn it into NCIS? i want more abbot too, but let's keep this creative team together and focused on making one great show instead of splitting it so they have to crank out twice as many stories each year.
@aliceadamee show wins every best drama award and nw is evil for being opposed to spinoffs?? has there ever been a spinoff series from a respectable show that started during the original series run and wasn't trash? just the dumbest fucking idea, but they run with any excuse to hate noah.
@thepittbunnies yep and despite all evidence to the contrary, i'm sure they'll still be convinced noah is jealous and hates shawn. so sh is either being forced to say nice things about nw, or this 50 yr old man is too naive to realize his friend is secretly plotting against him.
@Chameleon777771@Variety his own challenges are valid and he's allowed to acknowledge them; and praising his work doesn't take anything away from people in other professions doing harder work.
@aliceadamee π her pack of stans gotta be mostly bots right? like dedicating your life to studying & documenting every word uttered by or about a celeb you despise is phenomenally pathetic, IDK how any adult human can observe that behavior and take her seriously. please seek therapy.
@aliceadamee that said, the tone of the panel is prob gonna be jokey enough that the haters will get a batch of new sarcastic quotes to pull out of context and pretend they were said with 100% sincerity
