One I hate that I am unsure of a term for but I call it “Family time” is when a show or movie makes everyajor twist revolve around the main characters family…

Star Wars is a great example that no one notices it in

Darth Vader is Lukes father Leia his sister

Both rolls could have worked without those twists

But it is far worse in other shows and series or even ruins them for me

Fringe was ruined by it imo

Slow horses is falling into this trap with season 4

It’s a cheap ploy to try and make the moment or stakes more dramatic by involving the characters in ediate family as ploys or villains. At the same time it just feels out of place most of the time that the entire world these characters are in revolve around 1 family.

So many shows use this trope but I don’t even see a proper term calling it out and at the same time it has ruined so many shows and just shows a lazy writing or plot narrative.

The author does not know how to write for the dramatic response they want the audience to have for the villain or ploy so they make some dramatic reveal that their family member was secretly involved making it more difficult for the main characters to make decisions or take action.

More ashamed of my country than ever and feel stuck here. From California and feel like we have some dead corpse strapped to us.

Everything after ffx just dropped in quality

Tad Williams low key you get no GOT or GRRM without him. If you ever read the memory, sorrow and thorn series of books you basically see where much of the inspiration for GOT came from

I’ll chime in that a degree in accounting or finance can get you far… Most here will mention engineering/medical/programming. They also will likely bemoan the finance and accounting folks they work with as useless.

I’ll agree that due to many burrecratic choices c-suite leadership make there are a ton of inefficiencies but there is always a ton of work to be done and the skills can transfer to quite a bit of companies… Even very large corporations just end up having horribly inefficient processes and constant churn in leadership switches it up a lot… So if your someone who knows accounting and finance well and can think learn to bridge the never ending gap in tools and people requesting data you can do well.
