"why should I get invested in shows if they'll just get canceled" I was deeply invested in Heroes (2006) and it was not canceled, it just got really terrible. I also got really invested in the sandwich I had a few weeks ago despite it only lasting like 15 minutes. You must embrace the ephemeral. You must be willing to love things that may not love you back, that might betray you, or that may die an untimely death. As the great philosopher Mr. Mitchell Lee Hedberg said "I'm not gonna stop doing something because of what happens at the end."

NEXT WEEK ON HOUSE OF THE DRAGON

It's Sharako time baybeeeeee

[myweehughie]

Hughie was so clearly bothered when he realized the woman he'd been with multiple times, and even proposed to, wasn't even Annie but the shapeshifter??? Like that scene made him look so violated when she made that comment of 'peg the patriarchy'

Only for the entire incident being reduced to a joke, and it's just never brought up again
