#false drama

You're defending a pedophile. I wouldn't talk about being in cults if I were you. Go spank it to Stockholm again. =)

Listen, I truly hope you get to a point in your life that you would look back at this ask and go: "Wow, I'm really wasn't doing well at this point and now it's showcase how I grow as a person that I looked at this and kinda cringe."

It's better for you.

Why can't I stop watching "Legends of Tomorrow"?

The characters are so fundamentally stupid, so ridiculously hostile to each other over situations that make no sense, and so incompetent, that I find myself rooting for the villains in almost every episode because the heroes don't deserve to win. They don't deserve to survive. They're just...SO BAD. But I can't stop watching this show. Every week I see the next episode, and I spend forty minutes pulling out my hair and screaming at the screen as these morons bring doom and misery upon their own heads for no good reason, and I know I'm going to do it again next week all over again. Why?

Wow, I am so furious at the characters from "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" right now that I am incoherent, literally gargling on my own rage as I try to comprehend their idiocy. This isn't even funny anymore, they're just too stupid to function.

Okay, you know how I hate 'false drama'? Like, a LOT? Well, "DC's Legends of Tomorrow" should have ended with the third episode and I am TEARING MY HAIR OUT at the STUPIDITY. Their whole purpose--one and only--is to stop Vandal Savage, and they DID. Sliced opened throat, dead at their feet...and they just LEAVE!?!?!?!?!?! What? Why? Savage is immortal, he resurrects, and they know this, so why not DEAL with him now? Take him onto their timeship and keep him in suspended animation. Sedate him until they discover a means of permanently killing him. Lock him in a cell. Bury him in concrete for Pete's sake! Or, hell, transport him into the sun and be permanently done with him: Even if he's technically alive he's functionally neutralized. There was NOTHING here that forbade them dealing with Savage at that time. There were no henchmen bearing down on them to force them away, no pressing issues elsewhere to pull their attention, they had WON. The series was over. Done. Or it should have been. Every single episode to come after, every moment of anguish and despair and "Oh how will we ever defeat this evil Vandal Savage?" misery is pointless. So frustrating.

God do I hate false drama

I’m working my way through Jane the Virgin, and Jane is at her orientation for grad school when she gets a phone call from her son’s pediatrician after her professor gives a “the electronic leash is evil” speech.  She spends ten seconds looking back and forth from her vibrating phone to her professor, who is glaring at her as she mulls over whether or not to answer the phone, and then she just says “I’m sorry” and runs out of the class to answer the call.  Afterwards, she finds that she isn’t allowed back in.

Dammit, just say “this is my son’s doctor” before you answer!

I seriously hate false drama like this.  All teacher’s hate having their class interrupted, but if a doctor is calling, especially your son’s doctor, you answer that #$%&ing phone.  If they punish you for answering the phone in an emergency, then A) This person is an amoral asshole and is not just a “stern teacher looking for your commitment”, and B) You could go to their supervisor at the university and say “This teacher punished me for answering a call from a doctor” and laugh as they rush out to yell at the guy.  True, in this instance the call turned out to be meaningless, but nobody knew that until you answered the call.

It’s just so pointless.  This isn’t ‘being controlled by the electronic leash’ or ‘addicted to social media’ or any kind of millennial-bashing/intellectual critique they might think it is, since it’s not a Facebook status update or meme or new vine, it’s a call from a doctor.  Those have been happening for more than half a century.  Do you know what they did in the “old days” before cell phones?  They called the office and the office sent somebody to pull you out of the class to take the call, because it’s from a doctor.

I just hate false drama like this so much.

So I just watched Girl Meets the New Year and after I finished watching it, all I could think of was this line from A Phineas and Ferb Family Christmas: "Every family Christmas special needs a little false drama."

Fuuuuuu

Almost has a melt down. I am editing a 7 min mini documentary. My second Interview didn't have audio and I almost flipped shit. However, I found the problem and fixed it. I'm getting close to the deadline so I had a mini heart attack.
