I assume that Mr. Turner in Boy Meets World was written out for this reason. It was so weird, too. Motorcycle accident, Shawn has a 'come to Jesus' moment with it, and... nothing? That's it? That show had a few of those, but at least this one was KINDA written out.

TV Walkijg Dead’s Carl Grimes his death was served as a plot device to inspire his dad to fight Negan it was the stupidest reason to write Chandler off. The writing of the show was already questionable, and that among other issues made me quit watching. The comics were better imo.

Not TV but radio. But the Evangelical Nationalist radio program Adventures in Odyssey regularly introduces and then disappears children because their VAs get too old. It's such a problem that the podcast Worst Of All Possible Worlds introduced the joke of No-No Door to explain the rotating cast of characters either one of or long-known that just disappear because age or they come out as gay or something.


They were also all paid like, ten cents for a full day's work until one of the few career actors went on a one-man strike until everyone started getting paid regular industry amounts and got royalties so they had to disappear his character for eleven straight years, deciding to give him brain damage or something.

It is a crime I know this much about that accursed show

This question made me laugh, I love Garfield.
Although I can’t think of specifics I’d say anytime Garfield doesn’t get his lasagna or has to do anything remotely physical he feels punished . I do remember an episode where Jon took him to the vet, not so much for Garfield’s health but because Jon wanted to ask the vet to go on a date with him. The vet wasn’t at all impressed with Jon but she did tell them both that Garfield needed to go on a diet. That would be a punishment for sure!

(Put your answer in spoiler tags for this question if it concerns major plot points.)

I love foreshadowing which happens without seeing anything. The absence of something is something in horror. Anything eerie must be left to the persons imagination. So like, a monster which has no name, a force which kills but can't be seen, I really like it when a book, show, movie, does their research even to the subtle things. One of my favorite foreshadowing I love is the fact the detective in The Outsider has a lisp and the way the children are brutally murdered, it sends a message. It doesn't always mean this ,but sometimes, a lisp can be a sign of sa in past or serious repetitive abuse. A stutter can be formed in the same way. Although, this is case by case basis and I'm not a speech therapist.

I also like the subtle foreshadowing of like a flash of light in Night Country which I'm convinced is an alien crash which sets off the entire turn of events. Though it's a scene which is less then two seconds long. I love scene's like that. Where almost no one knows except the creator. Though, if you look really close it's everywhere.

Random question of the day:

Seeing as Anakin Skywalker was believed to have been conceived through midi-chlorians, would it be possible within the Star Wars universe for other individuals to be similarly conceived through midi-chlorians?

 

[Idea]

Take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt as I'm not a star wars fan, but....

Yes, it seems to be possible, though the only example was Anakin until recently.

Spoiler: Acolyte Spoilers if Anyone Cares

The twins from the Acolyte were apparently also conceived through the force AKA through the midi-chlorians. This was a major source of controversy from what I heard.

What do people mean when they say it's disrespectful to bite the hand that feeds you?

 

[chaotic cat cutie]

Random question of the day:

What do people mean when they say it's disrespectful to bite the hand that feeds you?

I could be completely wrong here, but the sense I've always had from that statement is , it's made by parents who give their child everything expecting that child to love them.
Or it could refer back to a darker reference of ownership. I mean this can span a broad spectrum of things I really don't have to go into detail but I sort of picture a really nasty rich and strong person snubbing someone they had given something they considered a "gift" and out of their mouth goes " Its so disrespectful to bite the hand that feeds you." Or oh gosh I swear this is a line in Ever After.

It's a snobby thing to say but I mean I could be interpreting it totally wrong I'm curious to see others

 

[Idea]

Biting the hand that feeds you basically means you are being so ungrateful that you actually went and harmed someone who tried to help you or actually did help you in some way. It could also just mean a betrayal of someone who was a provider for you. So the implication is that you went and backstabbed someone who was being good to you in some way.

Random question of the day:

Has anyone ever been thrown out of a library for putting certain books in certain sections of the library where they shouldn't be?

 

[Idea]

I mean I guess someone might maybe. Never happened to me and I never heard of it happening to anyone else though.

 

[Onmyoji]

No, never. I didn't even know you can be thrown out of the library by putting books incorrectly. Unless it was done maliciously in a systematic way to disrupt the library work

 

[Sena]

I haven't, but I'm sure someone has. As much as I think it'd be funny to put certain titles next to each other, I've worked with the public. I know how much it sucks. I definitely don't want to make jobs harder for anyone, including librarians. Librarians are usually pretty cool people too.

 

[AaronMk]

I don't think anyone would actually be able to do much of anything about it since in my experience libraries aren't exactly as surveilled as most other places. And as a rule of thumb it'd be not uncommon for someone to pick up a book from one place and move it to another for any variety of reasons; forgetting it, changing your mind, being a literal child or senior and having a lapse of judgement and spacial awareness.

Random question of the day:

Why did the original Extreme Home Makeover series team up with so many Sesame Street/Muppets characters?

(I am aware that for one episode, they brought Elmo in due to two of the young daughters of the family being big fans of him, but what about all the other ones?)

 

[Onmyoji]

Maybe because the characters are popular and they wanted additional advertising
