When I read this my mind immediately went: I felt a disturbance in the force, as if millions of influencers cried out in terror and suddenly silenced. Why brain? why?

GOOD!!!!!!

Now if only they could stay down.

"Influencer" what kind of shitty job is that?

Your guess is as good as mine, but it pays a lot for non stop posting, sooo someone who doesn't have a life apparently

One that pays, so we have to question why does society pay for it?

We can sit back and look derisively at it but that doesn't change the amount of money that is being paid for these influencers to be a part of society in their supposed regular life. It's a fascinating cultural shift that I have observed even from 6 years ago, when I first started working with child clients at a mental health agency, being a "Youtuber" was a goal, but one considered not attainable. Fast forward, many teens and young people are finding ways to make money, even in a small way, through YouTube to the point it can be considered a "Career."

So, why are people paying for it?

Since the animal sanctuaries I follow and support get a big part of their support and money from social media, and I've also gotten friendly with several people who would probably qualify as influencers, I really can't share in the happiness over the outage or hate towards influencers.

I have a crush on Patricia Karvelas and Zan Rowe both polar opposites

Never heard of either of them. Are they known at all outside of Australia?

No probably only known here.. Journalists on our national broadcaster. Patricia does politics and more serious stuff and Zan does music and entertainment items. Both polar opposites but lately Ive found myself having a wee crush on them

First Suits, now Royal Pains is a hit for Netflix. How soon before they get White Collar, Covert Affairs, In Plain Sight, Monk and Burn Notice?

 

[fireproof78]

Why not all of them?

Humans like to repeat stories they enjoyed from the past. Why should streaming be any different?

Bank sent me a dark web alert that my email and password are out there, but the password is definitely not one I'd ever use. So what do you think the deal here is?

Maybe a fishing scam trying to get your real e-mail?

They already did a Monk revival movie on Peacock, so if we get anything else Monk it will probably be more movies on there.

Monk is not Monk without Tony Shalhoub and his co star who's name I forgot.

Do not remake shows like Covert Affairs the original is fine

 

[JD]

Shaloub and all of the later seasons' cast came back for Mr. Monk's Last Case. It was also written by the show's original creator and directed by one of the show's regular directors.

Oh ok......... But it just won't be the same as a series without them

 

[JD]

Who do you mean? All of the regulars came back.

@Aragorn 's original post seems to be about getting the original versions of the various series on Netflix, just like they did with Suits and Royal Pains. So I'm not sure what prompted all the remake speculation to begin with?

(Yes, I know that last year's success of Suits led to a spin-off being announced, but the original post wasn't discussing the spin-off.)
