dick turpin, panel show links, and random bits :)
happy sunday everyone!
there have been a ton of new releases recently, which means i've added a lot to my googledrive — so i figured i'd do a little roundup!
first of all, the first two episodes of appletv's the completely made-up adventures of dick turpin are out so i added those! let's go!!
there have been a few new panel shows that have debuted the last couple of weeks — out of order with rosie jones, katherine ryan, and judi love; rob beckett's smart tv with captains josh widdicombe and alison hammond; and one person found this helpful, a radio show hosted by frank skinner — which are all on the masterpost. if you've checked them out lmk what you think!
all four "lost" episodes of cats does countdown are now accounted for and on the drive BLESS
i added a few requests from you guys: all of i literally just told you, the last leg episodes with victoria coren mitchell, and what i could scrape together of the mash report :')
don't forget to check out the new wilty for unseen s16 bits and i found an episode of ultimate worrier i was missing (last i need is S02E10 if anyone has it...)
as for random additions: audiobooks for help i sexted my boss + ade edmondson's berserker; the complete the keith and paddy picture show; monty python & the holy grail (1975) in 2160p (about to gif this! hehe); and the complete am i being unreasonable? (recommend!!)

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.
capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.
now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.
and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.
and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.
and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".
it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

so I read someone talking about a merlin deleted scene where merlin compliments the knights and arthur gets pissy and goes fight them to prove that he is better, and I thought it was an exaggeration but it ISNT AT ALL
scene includes:
Arthur says that Percival is strong but not agile, he isn’t the whole package. Merlin agrees and says that GWAINE is the whole package
Arthur goes off to fight Gwaine, who takes his shirt and gives it to Percival??? akjdjda
(we were robbed of shirtless gwaine with a sword)
Arthur then goes fight Elyan, wins, and goes brag to merlin saying, and I quote, “Elyan has got concentration, strength, the whole package, and still I win! What do you have to say about that?” while being dangerously close to him
They had to take it out because it’s the gayest scene I’ve ever watched in my whole fucking life they wouldn’t be able to beat the merthur allegations after it
EDIT: the video is in this post
