@realOldBilly @ayalanyan @grillngrind I had CBT for OCD. They basically just tell you to not have OCD. If you do it it works. If you don’t the result does not count because you were non compliant. That’s really shaky evidence.

@clionemi @_PaleblueDot__ Australian film classification takes 20 days. If the screener’s not ready they’re close to deadline.

@PrideRing666 It’s easier to sell merch of girls. Done.

@GooseworxMusic Foreshadowing. The later TADC episodes had several cases where a character didn’t react to something immediately even though they could have, so that it can come up in a later episode. That feels kind of forced. But the pilot had some of the best set up I’ve ever seen.

@Thafnine @vuecinemas @cineworld @ODEONCinemas @picturehouses @Keir_Starmer @UKLabour @RoyalFamily @BBC @SkyCinema @CityPolice @British_Airways @SadiqKhan I think will depend a ton on it getting through the BBFC in decent time. But also I have to support our local indie @Rdng_bsct_fctry

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@glitch_prod Will this be submitted to the BBFC? I don’t think UK theatres would be keen on having to run it as Unrated and thus 18+.

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@glitch_prod I thought Goose specifically said that Caine would only say “hate” in regard to how the others feel about him..

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@KellyJo1822 @Beetle0Gutt @GooseworxMusic It _is_ a shame to lose the idea of Caine fighting the Experience Machine paradox, but since it’s unresolvable it couldn’t really have a satisfactory ending.

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@minoomf Also think how weird it now is to own one of the abstraction shirts

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@snickerolli Because Caine’s original output was to a screen they could see.

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@GooseworxMusic The multiple days of forced adventures and random harm are much bigger evidence of evil than the ending tantrum.

[Mark Green @mgreen]

#tadc #tadcspoilers that episode made me so sad. Caine just wanted an answer to “why do we want the real world if it’s just offices? If our dreams are gone? If we dislike our bodies but there’s no better alternative?” I hoped there’d be some angle or answer. But not now.

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@GooseworxMusic “Creativity being hard makes us human?”

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@JustTheClippy It just has to be correct? My theory: Caine will speak in the next episode. ;)

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@jameshemphil @ToonHive Again, I get the reasoning. Redeeming the asshole is a) harder and thus more interesting, and b) of benefit to everyone else because it stops him being an asshole. So narratively it makes complete sense. But with such good characters people connect with it also seems unfair.

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@jameshemphil @ToonHive I thought eps 4-7 gave us at least clues that she was raised privileged, has trouble connecting as a result and makes up by people-pleasing and self-sabotaging. The idea she was abused seems to be fan made, but being held to high expectations would be typical for her background.

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@jameshemphil @ToonHive Sure. But the fact is that Jax was introduced and represented throughout as someone who deals with his issues by bullying others while Ragatha deals with hers by trying to please everyone else. Which of those more deserves a rescue arc? I can see the narrative reasoning, but..

[Mark Green @mgreen]

@jameshemphil @ToonHive They’re “angry” that the least sympathetic character appears likely to get the most detailed arc. Goose essentially did too
GOOD a job making every character relatable. There is no excuse for abuse or toxicity though.
