So that's really all I was responding to. Whether her leak "makes sense" or not won't be relevant until the show is over, personally. Though, to continue my "lazy" rant...

Film and TV people by and large remain far, far, far, far, far more reasonable than people who play video games, let alone Gamers, but even in my most amateur/early days as a critic I'd like to think (and, lol, cross my fingers somebody couldn't scrape the archive and prove me wrong) I can recognize when a writer, or musician, or whatever has to make a choice that's maybe "convenient" but still plausible vs. what I'd consider actually lazy, like plagiarism at the worst or at the...softest?

The way I recently heard someone react to the trailer for the Gran Turismo movie trailer: "If I were to ask you to write a movie about a kid whose parents think he plays video games too much until the game he plays the most turns out to be a career path, and it involves a lot of fast, fuckin' cool cars, and I assume that script just falls out of you involuntarily." Even then, if the characters get to say some cool shit and you get some Rush or Ford v. Ferrari car action, I couldn't call that "lazy", y'know?

Maybe I need to see a therapist about that word!
