Know Your Grifter Tactics - Lack of Dedication

When you have a long running TV series there’s usually an ongoing theme for the entire series.  I shouldn’t have to say that, but a couple generations of lack of real education does wonders for vaporizing critical thinking brain cells.  So you’ve got The Walking Dead.  Few humans left versus zombies.  Got it.  Now you dress up individual seasons with a narrative that ties together that season leading up to a climactic season finale.  Wow, Negan is a human but he’s a bad ass meanie and he’s gonna kill someone in our group of heroes.  Got it.  Then there’s room to throw in single episodes that don’t have much or anything to do with the theme.

This is about continuity errors.  Dedicated fans will never forgive a switch to the series premise.  Completely alienated by the idea that they were really sick humans that could be treated medically instead of zombies.  Or anything major.  A continuity error, that can slip by, even when noticed as being forgivable.  Negan given, two seasons after his introduction, a birthday party and it’s stated he’s five years younger than two years ago.  Which didn’t happen.

There’s zero dedication to the staff that puts out outrage porn conspiracy theories.  Covid has a still a thing, but since there’s an election a week away, so what?  I don’t believe in the crap I’m churning out, so let’s completely lose sight of the continuity.

Teri Garr is a celebrity well known enough to Boomers that there’s some instant name recognition.  But combining her not being an A list celebrity with ignoring the previous season’s content we got this:

A single, lonely Twixter post a half a day after the MSM announcement of her passing about the vaccines being the cause.  The incessant disrespectful chatter from a few years ago about the plans the government had to kill off the world population through an impossible to achieve logistically program of forced vaccinations is essentially completely forgotten.  Because stupid shit like that’s more easily replicated by the mindless keyboard warrior army is much more important.  Stupid shit translation - Kamala working at McDonald’s, Haitians eating pets, or whatever nonsense Trump just said.  That’s some high quality cult like behavior.

The gematria scriptwriters fared little better with two posts from one single account.

That one I understand pretty well.  They’ve been sticking to sports lately.  A safe haven for the series premise that you can magically win lots of money gambling regardless of who is the U.S. president.  The chuckle knobs that wrote the material during Covid.  They’ve either moved on or they’re planning out the next season.  Maybe that will be Insurrection 2.0.  Maybe that will be more hurricanes created by those pesky libs to make red state southern U.S. republican leaders look bad.  Maybe it can be lots of other repeated plot points.  But you have no predictive powers with low quality gematria style fake evidence, so you need a better read on the test audience for an ending that makes at least some sense for the series narrative modified into a season narrative.  What we do know.  It will be pure fiction.  It will be hateful and bigoted because that’s all they know.  And it will at times be mind numbingly stupid.
