i’m actually grateful for apple tv+ who seems to be able to believe in their tv shows despite ‘low’ ratings.

based on wikipedia, they have 76 ongoing shows (drama + comedy):

- 27 of them were ended but 13 of them had at least 2 seasons which brings us to a 18% cancellation rate after their first season

- 18 of them (23%) were miniseries so their end is justified

- 21 of them are renewed but if if you add the 13 series that had at least 2 seasons, this brings us to a total of 35 shows that were renewed which is a 46% ratio renewal rate

apple tv+ renews half of their shows and i think we should be thankful for them in a time where netflix and amazon cancels 90% of their shows

Anomaly Days (with Maverick !) ☆

[pipedreamprayer]

It's been on my mind that Kinich's reaction to his father's death isn't...corrected is maybe the best word.

Normally when these characters stories emphasise a strong emotion or belief about something, it's either setting up an important moment later, in another character story, that defined some aspect of their present day mindset or life, or that strongly emphasised thought/belief WAS the defined part if them that we see in action in the present.

For example, Xilonen has a CS that spends a lot of the word count on how little she thinks of legends and stories, but a later one is dedicated to what changed her mind on them at least a little, what opened her up to their value.

My point is that one CS ends with us being told very clearly how Kinich struggled not to cry over the loss of the man responsible for everything wrong with his life, a childhood of pain and fear and loss, and then we never get a moment where he feels differently about the incident or the man himself in hindsight. And well...with the pattern previously set up, the thought won't leave me that that could mean he still feels the same way?

In fact, the line in his tribal quest about what price actually means feels like it reveals more about him with this in mind, does he still feel that his safety came at the cost of being alone? That for him to not be in that horrific situation he had to lose something, and that something was the only other person he'd really ever interacted with than the mother who chose to leave them both behind?

There's not really an emphasis on prices and costs before that happens, is how he felt about his dad's death actually the lynchpin of that philosophy that we see him working off of when he starts interacting with the tribe on his own? This core part of his identity, that even earned him his Ancient Name and led to the contract with Ajaw and everything, does it all come back to how he rationalised the accident that killed his dad? He was in pain about it, but also clearly aware of his sudden freedom from the man's torment, and that's a hell of a lot for a just-7-year-old who's been so isolated and unexposed to a lot of intangible concepts that would have been taught at the school and via legends.

I'm just...I can't stop thinking about it. This prices thing defines him so strongly, way more in-your-face than any other Ancient Name Bearer and with an affect on nearly every aspect of his life from his job to his relationship with his tribe to his dynamic with his Archon. And it may have come from a coping mechanism, one that binds those confusing and upsetting feelings to him forever. He decided that he had to accept the loss as "what he was willing to lose" in exchange for freedom and that's how he moved on, which means he can't, like, just accept it as an accident that he never asked for. There's a sense of misplaced responsibility if you combine how he felt at the end of that CS and what he believes by the present, and I can't get it out of my head...

Short Term Thinking | 2409

I propose that everything that occurs between the decision to plant a tree and the full expression of its canopy is short-term thinking.
