Oh no! I had no idea Dustin Diamond died! I felt bad for him because the psychology of having to be Screech and have the whole world see him as that character 24/7 really got to him and caused some form of trauma in him. His past few years were really rough. RIP :C

Yeah! I was thinking the exact same thing about Daisy! It would have been so much better if she was a conniving sociopath like Zack!

And the only (stereotypically gay coded character) was the badguy WHITELADY's son. I didn't mention him because honestly I forgot about him. But having someone's race be a part of why they are the badguy, on a kid's show sets a very bad precedent, really.

You make a great point about AGP vs HSTS in the media. The media will definitely be more comfortable acknowledging HSTS because that's what the older generation is most familiar with. They don't even really understand the concept of Lesbian Trans besides Bruce Jenner.

Euphoria is supposed to have a lesbian trans in it though. I haven't watched it yet. It's downloaded and ready to go, but I'm just sitting here looking at it like... Ugh... not now.

Thanks for watching the show with me! I'm trapped at home most of the time, so I need something to do, and I don't want to be the only weirdo watching this weird shit~!

ALso, I loved the final scene where Mac goes something something what's Corona? (I forget the actual quote) I wonder if there's a next season, it will be all about living in Corona-World?

Well, that's sad to hear. I'm guessing he was generally type-casted from that point on-wards. Maybe couldn't get any good serious roles as a young actor. Which can easily lead one into life troubles and pretty bad depression(like Jonathan Brandis).

It was disappointing that there was no representation on the show other than the T. It's like we're moving backwards in time, considering shows like Buffy and such which came out so long ago.

I personally wouldn't watch anything that I didn't think I'd enjoy. I know it's kinda "for SCIENCE!" sometimes, but still..

Thanks for bringing the reboot to my attention in the first place by posting about it. I mostly enjoyed it. Sometimes I repeat watch the shows I really like and am comfortable with way too much and this was a nice break from that habit.

That was a nice meta-joke to end the season. There will be a second one. I kinda hope it's not about that, though.
