As someone who watched last night’s episode, you had the right idea to stop.
Why’s it so bad
Because Tim Minear is a power-drunk hack.
#lincoln answers things#I was deeply concerned and upset at the end of season seven but wow the bar was on the floor and he still dug under it#back in earlier seasons he had good writers who could limit or make something good out of his crazier ideas#but it's clear that two things have gone to his head: 1. how popular the show is#2. FOX not allowing Buddie canon and probably also not letting him do other things he wanted (the network REALLY jerked them around)#2.5. going to LS and doing whatever the hell he wanted there and instead of learning from the bad response and shit ratings#letting the absolute power get to him and make the resentment towards FOX re: OG even worse#so when he hopped over to ABC he stopped listening to anyone and just went power-mad and abandoned any restraint he previously exhibited#and his talent and skill are actually not good enough to keep up with his ego (frankly nobody's is enough)#(but some people are skilled and talented enough that it can cover for quite a long time or cover most of it and Tim is not one of them)#every writer/artist/creator needs someone to tell them 'no' sometimes#everyone needs parameters and to be checked#you will sometimes have bad ideas or bad impulses that's just being human#and the moment you stop listening to people (like firing your editors *cough* Anne Rice *cough*) you're fucking doomed#some people are just doomed faster and harder than others and Tim was doomed immediately because again:#his skill and talent are not nearly enough to cover even a little bit he is a mediocre white man who fell upwards like so many of them#and now that he's let the power get to him we are all - and more importantly in my mind his EMPLOYEES are all -#suffering the consequences of that#hey Tim remember how you said repeatedly that you regretted killing off Shannon so soon and she wasn't even a main?#you think you would've recalled that before making the stupidest possible writing decision#it's been a while since I've seen someone kill their show in one (1) choice#congrats you stand among giants like Game of Thrones and HIMYM#anyway as silly as this might be I am honestly in very deep pain over this#I wasn't in a great place to start because of other shit going on but. yeah.#so I'm trying not to talk about it much which means if I ignore any tags asks comments etc that's why#but sometimes the rage takes over and I can't help myself so!
