Ivanna Sakhno is risking getting type-cast ...

IDK, findecanor,  are we to comment that a 27yr old woman, that sets the beauty standard of the 21st century, might get type-casted.

Realistically, she doesn't even have to work, acting is just a hobby for people such as this. There's 100s of rich men that will pay her bill for the next 5-10 years. And the very worst outcome, she saves 2 million in a dividend stock, she's set for life.


The only thing that could trip up a person in her position is something like an eating disorder or drugs/alcohol.

I don't understand what you're talking about. What I mean is that this is the third time she has played a mentally unstable hit-woman of sorts.

What? TP4?

It's not about understanding, it's about accepting the true flow of the Universe.

Season 3 of One Punch Man is so far..... not good.
Almost zero plot progression has happened in 4 episodes, nothing is happening, just people sitting around talking about nothing.
I don't understand how all this nothing was not just cut for.... SOMETHING. ANYTHING.

Literally every episode so far: People sitting around a table talking. The **** is this?

Yeah, this is actually a problem with any consecutive seasons of any shows - for me at least - I know that normally when first season is out and its something new for us, we love the show and second season has always hard time to keep up. But I noticed in last maybe 5-10 years that almost all shows has this kind of numbness, lack of action, story progress - personally I think that producers want to, AS ALWAYS, squeeze as much money as they can from the viewing results by stretching the story - filling episodes with empty content, push away serious story turns of events and things like that. I HATE that! That kills the shows for me instantly.
Then second thing that kills the show for me is the time breaks between seasons. I get it, it takes time to film new episodes, but cooooommoooon, it doesn't haev to be 2 years between seasons!

I grew up with 3 channels of broadcast TV, and no form of recording or "time-shifting" ....

Most shows had new episodes (20+) from early fall to mid-winter, then they were repeated, in order, until mid-summer. We got used to it.

Additional channels and syndicated re-runs came around in the 1970s and video recording did not become widespread until the 1980s.

A big annoyance for me recently is good shows that were cancelled abruptly after 1 season - on cliffhangers!

Oh yes, it happened to few shows I liked, for example The Chair. So nice, funny... and cancelled after first season

I just watched the entirety of Smiling Friends. It's very on par with Adult Swim's standards for brainrot.

The Peripheral and Moonhaven come to mind quickly.

did you enjoy it though? what did you think of the mixed-media animation style?

If you are a hard pretzel lover like me, do yourself a favor and try Unique Snacks pretzels.
All the varieties are great, but I especially love the Extra Dark, Sourdough Rings, and Sprouted versions.
Better than Snyder's

The Extra Dark especially is something truly Unique, being burnt to black on one side. So good tho...

Final season of Stranger Things is reportedly nearly half a billion? Doesn't that seem like way too much way too late? That is insane.

OPM, episo 6.

It's not TERRRIBLE, it felt a little light.

Tp4 suspect this is Jpn going through the last run of its end game.  The Diminished, irrecoverable number of exploitable labor has reached the end.

You look at Nintendo Switch 2, it's the most important product for that company, and yet developers are left bewildered by the unfinished background programming architecture/ dated omissions.

It's not that Nintendo wants to have a crappy ecosystem, it's that they no longer have the man-power to produce anything better.
