when I was a kid, I was OBSESSED with #Animorphs Not to spoil too much, but when it ended it joined the ranks of #evangelion and #TheSopranos (actually, Sopranos joined the ranks of NGE and Animorphs) of having a controversial ending the fans hated. Well, some fans. You know the type. I didn’t hate the ending as in “this story isn’t good anymore” but it did make me sob my 11 y/o eyes out, for reasons that I didn’t quite understand as a kid. At the time I thought it was because my favorite series was over. As I got older, I understood more.

Anyways, the author KA Applegate posted an open letter to fans who didn’t like the ending. I posted the last few paragraphs here. :anarchism: :anarchistflagblack: :black_sparkling_heart:

PS I put as much text in the image description as Tusker will allow. Sorry y’all.

Some #TV shows I've watched so far this year:

I watched the final two episodes of #Fringe today. Not the best ending, but a fitting one for the series, and solidifies my sales pitch: "What if The X-Files, but the overarching plot was actually worthwhile."

Watched #TheSopranos at work earlier this year. It's as great as everyone says it is, and I love the ending.

Now we're watching #BreakingBad at work. Eager for the conclusion—mostly so we can move on to something that's good!🫠 #Television

The performance of these LLMs on The Sopranos quiz is incidentally quite indicative of their performance on other real world tasks.

Rewatching #TheSopranos. After careful consideration, I’ve concluded that these are the top 5 characters (minimum 50 episodes) #RANKED

RT if you want Marie Spatafore and Hernan O'Brien from The Sopranos to kiss. I'm trying to see something. #Sopranos #TheSopranos #MarieSpatafore #ElizabethBracco #HernanOBrien #VincentPiazza

I’ve posted about this before, but it cracks me up how goofy the Sopranos fandom is. It’s one of the best, most intelligent, literary, not to mention nihilistic shows of all time. A show that is brutally critical of the patriarchy, white supremacy, homophobia and even the characters themselves. And yet the fan base is full of boomers with American flag profile pictures who think when Carmela says “ugh, why is gay stuff everywhere now??” you’re supposed to agree with her.

I think I have a pretty good idea why this is, but it still makes me laugh.

Seriously considering watching #TheSopranos for a fourth time. It would be the first since James Gandolfini died.

He’d know how to handle the studios right now. And Tony Soprano would have his own ideas, probably involving a horse head in bed.

OMG! We just want Annalisa and Brendan Filone from The Sopranos to canoodle already! #Sopranos #TheSopranos #Annalisa #SofiaMilos #BrendanFilone #AnthonyDeSando

Christ the last season of the Sopranos is devastating. Just absolutely fucking unrelenting

Everyone agrees that Ronuncle (Ronnie Capozza and Uncle Pat) is the sweetest ship on The Sopranos. #Sopranos #TheSopranos #RonnieCapozza #MarissaMatrone #UnclePat #FrankAlbanese

Nobody is talking about how Nucci Gualtieri and Little Paulie Germani from The Sopranos should get hitched! #Sopranos #TheSopranos #NucciGualtieri #FrancesEnsemplare #LittlePaulieGermani #CarlCapotorto

I feel like I’m just hate-watching #TheSopranos at this point.

But I’m already on Szn 5 and Steve Buscemi showed up so I guess I’ll finish it out.
