    Sherlock Holmes on BBC has 3 episodes each season. With about 2 years waiting between seasons

        They we’re 3 outstanding episodes. Not 10 fillers and 3 good ones.

          At least in the earlier seasons.

          I think it fell off very heavily, which sucks, because now I also don’t want to rewatch the awesome early seasons.

          Outstanding my ass. They literally updated definitions of queerbaiting after that series.

    The episodes have been getting longer as the seasons get shorter, tho. I think it’s much more likely we get something like 3 90-minute episodes per season (like Sherlock, which was mostly fantastic).

      How about just one 90-120 minute episode? We might have to come up with a new name for them. /s

      I don’t really see them getting better, just shorter and more expensive to produce.

        oh no, i didn’t mean to suggest they’re getting better. i just meant to say that shorter seasons with longer episodes isn’t necessarily bad. most recent thing i watched was the first john wick movie, i really don’t keep up with the latest tv releases.

    Are you suggesting that they are trending towards becoming movies?

    I miss the old twenty-something episode seasons… these days it costs twice as much for a third of the content. Take The X-Files for example, the monster of the week eps were what kept me watching… the main alien arc was actually kinda sloppy, and all the satanic cult stuff I just sorta tolerated.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
