I have an idea.
We should retcon 2020. We should all get the opportunity to step out of the shower and have a do-over, like that season of Community we pretend never happened.
Our character arcs reset.
Like, if you did something or said something in 2020 I disagreed with, that made me angry or whatever? That was just bad writing by the intern when the writers room burned down after the network cut the safety budget.
Every show has a season that they just all fuck up. Maybe the execs meddle with it and start demanding that you cast random people they fancy? This is why we pretend Babylon 5 Crusade never happened people. I can skip Season 4 of Buffy - nobody is making me watch all those unbearable Riley episodes.
Lets just pretend our life is a syndicated TV show. Lets just reboot 2020 in 2021.
Here's the thing. I care that you are fulfilled. And nobody can be those things isolated or dead.
Things ARE going to be tough. Bad things ARE going to happen - to good people and good businesses. But hopefully we'll have some new writers on board, take the show in a different direction. THATS how I'm planning to live my 2021. Sure, we're still fucked, we still have zero budget and the executives are determined to cancel us first chance they get.
Live each season like it was your last. Bring back some classic monsters. Let Bartlett be Bartlett. Remind your viewers why they cared about your show in the first place.
Alons y!
