Firefly.
Punching Nazis
Manual transmissions in the United States.
I always thought discontinuing the 3ds series was stupid. Nintendo switch is good and all but there is something about this console
I have two cookies I’d like brought back, please.
Nabisco suddenly Smores
And (one I can’t find a pic of) Chiquita made banana shortbread cookies with chocolate on the bottom in the 90s, and they were great, too.
Compact pickup trucks. I got one of the last S10s made and it’s older than the average Tiktokist.
The joyful wonder and whimsey that lived in my soul and twinkle that shone through my eyes, or at least I think it was there. It’s now just a faint memory of a memory, something that I yearn for but unsure if I ever even tasted it.
Garbage Pail Kid cards.
The satanic panic. It made playing RPGs and video games feel so fucking metal.
Series: santa clarita diet. Weird humor, weird setting, but I liked it a lot… cancelled and ended on a cliffhanger.

headphone jacks in phones
Just servicability in consumer goods in general.
Honestly, the sd card is arguably more important. I mean, headphones, there are workarounds like adaptors or wireless. But being able to stick a 1tb sd card in is just sooo good, basically a portable PC. There is no workarounds for sd card slot.
Moto 5g stylus has both. I just bought my daughter one for Christmas. The downside is using a moto phone which have gone downhill imo since the Nexus 6. But my daughter is 10 and just wants a phone with a stylus for drawing stuff and it was only $99 with my fi plan so why not?
gone downhill imo since the Nexus 6
Nexus 6 was released October 2014. That same month, Moto Mobility was sold to Lenovo. So its not just “in your opinion” that was the start of the reduction in quality of the Moto brand.
Did not know that. That makes sense.
I still prefer them for work phones. Gestures to open the camera or turn on the flashlight are a lifesaver for me.
I def miss the twist for flashlight. I have a pixel now which I hate but it has a feature to tap the back twice. I use it for my flashlight but it doesn’t compare
Twist is camera, chop is flashlight.
I mean, the workarounds for SD cards is just USB-C drives, or USB-C microSD card readers. But I agree, just as headphone dongles are dumb and don’t suit all needs, so is external storage.
Micro sd card readers =/= a micro sd card that you can put inside the phone. A micro sd card permanently attached to the phone via a USB-C card reader isn’t really that practical, since it can easily get loose and you can drop it. I mean I can walk around and record videos directly into the sd card if the phone has the sd card slot.
A phone can get destroyed and I still have the video. Very useful for situations like… god forbid, if you ever get in a situation of being a witness to an act of police brutality and you are recording them for evidence, and they smash your phone after you recorded a video of them. And you then run away with the broken phone. As long as the micro sd card isn’t damaged, the video is safe. Its much harder to recover a video from a broken phone’s internal storage. And by the time you do recover it, you might not be able to send it to the press before cops show up at your door to confiscate it. In contrast, an sd card can just quickily put it in a computer then you email it to journalists.
I know, this is an extreme scenario, but like its just illustrates that a sd card plugged in to an USB C card reader isnt the same, it can come loose easily.
I’m surprised you even thought this needed to be said. Of course external solutions aren’t the same as internal. I never said they were. I simply said that just like dongles are the workaround to no internal headphone jack, they are for storage as well. The compromise is obvious and internal would always be better.
How much girth does the SD card have? 👉👈
Yeah I have to use an adapter now
Why? The quality was always shit. I’d rather keep the data port (Lightning/USB-C) and use an external DAC. For calls and meetings where audio quality is trash anyway, Bluetooth doesn’t necessarily degrade it enough to care.
Well that’s great because you could still do that even if they included a jack.
But I would never use it and it would just collect dust and pocket lint 👎
This depended on the phone. The HTC One M8, for instance, had a surprisingly good built-in DAC.
Mandatory Firefly comment
Also Pushing Daisies, Better Off Ted, Jericho, My So Called Life, Dead Like Me, Freaks and Geeks…
Better Off Ted had so much potential :(
Seems all the more relevant today. They should revive the series, as long as Phil and Lem are still around.
Better Off Ted and Dead Like Me, yeah
I’m here for Pushing Daisies.
Martin Starr is too cool now lol. Freaks and geeks might be hilarious with all the same actors now.
I imagine Bertram Gilfoyle is the adult that Bill Haverchuck grew up to be
I actually know Martin in real life and worked with him for almost a year and he’s almost exactly like his Guilfoyle character. He probably was Bill as a young person lol. The only difference is he’s super sweet but still has that dead pan sense of fuck you humor.
Lol that’s awesome
Last Man on Earth, too!
Why would Freaks and Geeks need another season? It ended fine.
Some shows are great in part because they knew where to end. F&G, AtlA, The Good Place all for example.
Cool. Cool cool cool.
Every time somebody mentions Firefly I automatically think of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
Bruce Campbell in a steampunk cowboy romp across the old west?
That show ended way too soon.
Dark Matter (the SyFy show), it was just getting good!
I don’t care, I’m still free, you can’t take the original series from me.
The title has two questions and this one only fits one of them.
Wish wasn’t cancelled, yes!
Wish they brought it back? No, it was a long time ago, and they made Serenity to close off the story and tie things up. It’s likely that bringing it back would do more harm than good.
Man, that show was so likable, but I could never get over the pro-Confederate vibes, even with all the staff denials.
Call me crazy, but if I was going to bring back a series doomed by its association with Joss Whedon I’d give The Nevers another shot. I thought it was fun and then the Whedon thing happened and Covid happened and people seem to just have agreed it wasn’t worth it and gone home.
There’s talk of a reboot, and that’s not what anyone wanted at all…
If they did another series they could do it without rebooting, just a different set of characters in the same ‘verse. Maybe meeting the originals at various times.
I have zero interest in that either. Those specific characters were the whole appeal to that show.
As long as we’re on cancelled sci-fi shows, Babylon 5 spinoffs. The entire setting is more or less dead and it hurts.
(Yes, I know about The Road Home. It’s not the same.)
Problem with that is that almost everyone who was interesting is dead. Actor wise.
Yep. (Mira Furlan was a real punch in the gut, particularly.)
Travelers TV Show. Doesn’t even need the original actors, its perfect scenario for a reboot with different characters.
The Expanse. I mean come on, there still so much book material left… 🙄
And SD Card slots, god damnit. I don’t wanna spend +$500 more just for 1tb storage, a 1tb sd card is like $100. Fuck these greedy corporations.
I get so petty about this that I got an A series samsung phone instead of the S series, just for the sd card slot.
The show runners for The Expanse claimed that they ended the show where they did because the show had reached a natural conclusion, the books took a giant time leap, and they felt the rest of the story would be better developed into a sequel series at a later time.
Honestly, I think they did the right thing. The TV show was great for what it was, but the last book was just so different than the rest of the series, I don’t think it really matters that they left it out.
End the show on a high note instead of possibly spoiling it.
I really hope they work out a way to do a time jump series later on with the same actors who are all actually older (though logistically speaking it would be difficult)
Well, IIRC, the next phase of the story has mostly different characters. Only one or two carry over.
From what I remember most of the main cast carry over except for
Tap for spoiler
Avasarala who died because old
It’s a 3 decade time jump
Tap for spoiler
Even Avasarala is there for the first part of it. She died after Duarte took over.
Oh you mean Holden, Naomi, Amos, Alex, Bobbie, Clarissa, Ghost of Miller, and Avasarala?
I so want more travelers.
I’m so torn. On one hand, absolutely. On the other: it was a decent end and I fear that they would have removed too much mystery with more seasons
Actually yeah. A reboot of travelers would be amazing. Because you could go in any direction….
Redo to series as is. Redo it where since so many things went wrong, we’re gonna reset the timeline.
Hell yeah 👍
I loved the expanse, maybe more than books. But even the books just got drawn out and I lost interest. With how closely the show followed the books I’m worried the show would just fall off for me like the books.
