@ThatOneKirbyMain2568 they only work if people care about it, so double edged sword.

Fair points, I have only watched a few episodes myself and was merely copying the source since others weren’t seeing it.

There are examples in the second link, but I can paste them here for you:

Scrubs:
J.D. started as fairly emotionally needy due to him wanting a father figure to replace his own dysfunctional family. Fast forward to season five where J.D. is an appletini (light on the tini)-swilling “sensey” (that’s “sensitive person”) who can’t hold on to his “man cards” (which would be taken away from him if he did something girly) for a full day. This is lampshaded by Zach Braff in the bloopers to Season 8.
“You haven’t been here in a while, my character’s really gay now.”
Carla was initially a tough cookie Team Mom. As the seasons went on, the writers Flanderised her obsession with gossip and her domineering tendencies over Turk. She also went from giving advice to forcing her opinions on everyone else and admitting that taking the moral high ground “is like crack for me”.
Elliot went from being a pretty normal, slightly quirky, girl with no interest in kids and a high degree of efficiency coupled with no personal skills to highly neurotic, obsessed with getting married and having kids, and the most compassionate doctor in the hospital that was only there because she wanted to help people. The family part is at least somewhat justified by the fact that she as she got old she had a stronger desire to settle down.

It sucks when a show is spinning it’s wheels and a significant actor moves on to greener pastures, but you get it. It really sucks when a show rockets off and actors leave because the show has made them into a star who get offered bigger projects to capitalize on their fame. Mucking things up for the thing that made you famous is such BS.

@delitomatoes Many sitcoms have an overarching romance arc between two leads that gets stretched out for eternity. I don’t know how much I can vouch for “The Office” handling other storylines, but the getting Pam and Jim together 1/3rd of the way through the series, and then not having them constantly breaking up and dating other people and then getting back together (like Friends) was a real breath of fresh air. The show really proved they could survive as an anthology without having the main romantic arc to fall back on. Of course, later on they introduce serious romantic arcs for other characters.

Yes same. I’m making a conscious effort to leave a comment (like this one) rather than just up voting.

They are presented with the same choice every single day to condemn people to die by hoarding their unfathomable wealth. Anyone of them could singlehandedly end all deaths from polio or TB, but instead every single day they decide that the idea of only being worth $2 million dollars is so horrifying that they’d rather allow the deaths to continue unabated.

you have to do what you feel is right in your heart (or in this case, pants).

I’ll second this. I really like it. Apple just added the privacy feature of FaceID locking incognito tabs that Edge has had for a long time.
