helent June 21, 2018 Share June 21, 2018 Abba were absolutely huge in Australia. They had number one singles for something like 40 weeks, with Fernando number one for 14 weeks; and number one albums for about as many weeks. The pop charts from that era are strange... A Boz Scaggs album was number one for 18 weeks! It reads like we were nation of daggy and sincere easy listening fans, and yet there is a huge number of rock bands from that era who are the ones that are actually remembered now, but apparently never quite topped the charts. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92469-extra-hot-great/page/123/#findComment-4431804

To me it's not so much whether it is for me or not, but rather why inviduality/ originality must come in entertainment that after viewing, leaving me depressed.

Stowaway July 11, 2018 Share July 11, 2018 (edited) For some reason I chose an angry baby Batman avatar when I made my account here, so I feel compelled to weigh in. Batman the Animated Series deserves to be in the cannon if only to recognize the reach of its influence across media (what other cartoon adaptation had so much impact on its own source material?), but even I would be on the fence about any single episode being cannon worthy. Monty picked a good one, and made an excellent case. A 20-minute episode may be enough to promote a D-list villain to B-list and change the way he's portrayed in print, live action, and video games, but it's not quite enough to actually make me care about the character (as Sarah would say) qua character. Also: up until someone said Utah, I was going to need to watch an episode of The Outpost just to satisfy my curiosity; but if it's made in here, it surely makes use of the strange, small film industry that exists only to make adaptations of passages from the Book of Mormon (the iffy religious document, not the musical) for young Latter-Day Saints, which means I already know exactly as much about it as I'll ever need to.
