You guys could critique the death of Bambi's mother into a vast left-wing brain washing conspiracy. Sheesh.

That's actually a good point to an extent. One major reason why I find Lost In Space completely unwatchable.

I mean.. when George Soros buys the largest share of Netflix, and then appoints Susan Rice to the board during the next year, it's easy to predict where Netflix' programming is going.  *puke emote*

I heard Rupert Murdoch was personally involved in canceling Firefly after Adam Baldwin complained about his left-wing co-workers.

When the killer of Bambi's Mom buys out Disney in order to make Disney movies promoting how great his Bambi killing is, then we may have a good metaphor.  :))

What about Bambi's father? Didn't he also die under mysterious circumstances?  :o

In the right-wing version he was some kind of local jungle warlord ('Prince of the Forest') who eventually saw his son succeed him as El Jefe.

The hunter who killed Bambi's dad spent time in the Soviet Union and had mob ties. Open your eyes people!

I remember that now. He had Bambi's Dad's head mounted on his wall next to the rifle that could hit two guys with one shot with a 45% turn in between them. And a thin attractive Russian wife that does what she's told to do, like that's even possible.  :idiot2:

From what I read, no worries about George Soros' the Expanse on Netflix. 

Looks like the main suitor is Amazon, as Alcorn had already negotiated US streaming rights with them.

Apparently SyFy had a really bad deal with Alcorn, that gave Netflix and Amazon the lions share of VoD and streaming shares, which left SyFy depending on live viewing.   That didn't do well for the show because clearly, everyone streams this stuff nowadays. 

So SyFy was making no real money off Expanse, no real advertiser money because live viewing was weak and streaming/on demand was where its viewership was at.  SyFy had little choice given the expense of the show but to cut ties.

I want more Marvel series, well done Marvel series I should say. Maybe a Valkyrie or Winter Soldier series would be great. And.... what ever happened to Prince Namor? Hell, I'd watch a Korg and Meek Week if it was on.

Can't say I feel bad as Syfy continues to miss the boat on what people want.
