You can't review from one clip. That's not how it works. There have been plenty of shows that start off as duds and figure it out. There is a slim chance. I'm doubtful. But it was at least worth a watch. | [

It just seems too off that they act like complete air balloons and are able to be parents. Which, I'm sure they will have future scenes (if the show can get more seasons) where they will have their own emotional moments with their kids; shedding light on how at their heart, they are good parents. But that's not enough to redeem their overall narrative that they are dim-witted.\nSo my review is a big thumbs down."

90’s show is so cringe. It reminds me of a cheesy 2010’s family channel show. Only tolerable characters are any cast reappearing from 70’s show. Someone should put their foot in the directors ass. | [

Before I even saw the trailer, I had seen a photo of the cast and just thought to myself…..they look like dweebs.
The original cast had an air of coolness to them, this cast just gives the most boring energy. | [

Just tell me if I hit the nail on the head or not.",
">\n\nYep, there's a chance. If anything, it'll be Red and Kitty holding it together until the kids can vibe more. If you liked Donna's dad, then you'll like the new neighbor btw. She's probably my favorite new character.",
">\n\nI'm gonna be honest here. I watched 1 clip and think it's going to be a whopping dud. It was meeting Kelso and Jackie. It involved them 2, kelco, kitty, red, kelcos son and reds granddaughter. Only saw about 45 seconds.\nFirst off, the main kids. If you're going to make a spin-off, your primary audience should be the fans of the original series. They were the ones who made the show popular, they would be the ones interested in the spin-off. At the time, the \"kids\" felt a bit older. Granted, many of us were younger at the time of watching it. But now, we are older. To us, these kids are, well, kids.\nI like sitcoms. I like King of Queens and Seinfeld a lot. Everybody loves raymond was alright. The parts I didn't like on it were scenes involving the kids. King of Queens and Seinfeld didn't have kids, and it was nice not having them. I don't have anything against kids, I have some and love them. But kid scenes in sitcoms just isn't funny. Well, this shows main characters are all kids.\nSecondly, fine, you wanna go kid route... Maybe a few people will still latch on. Butt when they introduced Kelco and Jackie, boy did they not at all seem like they have matured now that they are parents. Either stick with the same exact humor and personalities, or have them mature some now that they are parents. It just seems too off that they act like complete air balloons and are able to be parents. Which, I'm sure they will have future scenes (if the show can get more seasons) where they will have their own emotional moments with their kids; shedding light on how at their heart, they are good parents. But that's not enough to redeem their overall narrative that they are dim-witted.\nSo my review is a big thumbs down.",
">\n\nYou can't review from one clip. That's not how it works. There have been plenty of shows that start off as duds and figure it out. There is a slim chance. I'm doubtful. But it was at least worth a watch.",
">\n\n90’s show is so cringe. It reminds me of a cheesy 2010’s family channel show. Only tolerable characters are any cast reappearing from 70’s show. Someone should put their foot in the directors ass.",
">\n\nBefore I even saw the trailer, I had seen a photo of the cast and just thought to myself…..they look like dweebs. \nThe original cast had an air of coolness to them, this cast just gives the most boring energy.",
">\n\nThe \"generic black girl\" bothers me.",
">\n\nI remember the 90s....but I don't remember them being \"woke\" or \"inclusive\" in any way. Quite the opposite frankly. Maybe they can do a racially inclusive sitcom that takes place in pre civil war Mississippi next!",
">\n\nWho tf wants to watch a comedy about how badly we treated people in the 90s? I really want to relive being called a f-slur all the time. The problem with the show is the characters are forgettable and the acting is bad.",
">\n\nThen don't make a show about the fucking 90s! 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️",
">\n\nYou are aware that that '70s show is not super accurate to the attitudes of the '70s, right?",
">\n\nI wouldn't know. I wasn't around for the 70s.",
">\n\nBruh",
">\n\nI watched the whole season and it just didn't work for me. Didn't seem 90's or much of anything at all. None of the characters except Red and Kittie were at all memorable. The decor and fashion somehow didn't strike me as particularly 90's etc."

I watched an episode the other day and couldn’t get past how not true to the time period some of it was. Like Donna’s hair. Middle aged women did not wear their hair super long and straight with little fringe curtain bangs in 1995. She looks great, but it’s no accurate. Also it was super cheesy lol | [

The kids are just replacement characters for the originals.
Leia is the new Eric
Nikki is the new Donna
Nate is the new Hyde.
Gwen represents Jackie.
Jay is the spitting image of his dad (Kelso)
and finally, Ozzie is obviously Fez.
For the 2 episodes I watched, they looked like perfect replicas of the previous characters. Saying and doing exactly what they would do. The only difference was their appearance and sexual preferences. Leia is in love with Nikki (Eric/Donna) and Jay is in love with Gwen (Kelso/Jackie). They are just remaking the original and attempting to move the show 20 years. Nothing felt like the 90's. I just saw the originals being cloned poorly.
I wouldn't have made it 2 episodes if it wasn't for Red (best character) and maybe Kitty. The cameos didn't hurt to see either. Then it was dull. | [

ITT - Everyone thinking OP means accuracy of portrayal when they really mean when that 70's show premiered in 1998 it was only 28 years removed from 1970 meanwhile that 90's show premiere is 33 years removed from 1990... | [

Maybe a few people will still latch on. Butt when they introduced Kelco and Jackie, boy did they not at all seem like they have matured now that they are parents. Either stick with the same exact humor and personalities, or have them mature some now that they are parents.

Sort of. It seems to be a relationship based on necessity rather than good will. For instance, Jordan controls the Temple Mount complex (holiest site for Jews, third holiest for Muslims), but it's Israel bargaining with Jordan that allows Jews (and Christians) to have limited access on certain days between certain hours. Otherwise only Muslims would be allowed to visit, as seems to be tradition in Islam (non-muslims cannot visit the city of Mecca or the the Prophet's mosque in Medina). Imagine if Saudi would have to negotiate with India to allow Muslims to visit Mecca. | [

To desalination fans: what is done with the toxic cake left over? Salt is the least of the stuff in sea water. No one has a solution, they just pile it up or bury it, killing any life and creating lifeless swaths in the desert. You're just creating more pollution.
The waste product from desalination is growing too large to ignore, argues a paper from a United Nations think tank that provides the first estimate of global brine production from desalination. The amount of brine generated by the world’s nearly 16,000 desalination plants is 50 percent larger than earlier assumptions, according to researchers at the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment, and Health. | [

When the floodgates are open, a torrent of water gushes into a dry river bed and races to the shore of the Sea of Galilee, a biblical lake in northern Israel that was being lost to drought and the growing population around it.
The water is fresh, high-quality, expensive. Desalinated from the Mediterranean Sea and transported across the country where it awaits the order to replenish the lake should it start to shrink again.

...the one that still enshrines convicted war criminals?
The one with essentially a one party democracy? - that happens to be full of right-wing politicians and maintains that WW2 Japan was not evil?
The one that is whitewashing its WW2 criminal legacy with historical revisionism in school textbooks?
The one that will maintain its past apologies to neighbouring victims ONLY IF they never bring up the subject again?
A stronger Japan is good against China and Russia (and North Korea), but that's it - THe Japanese government still cannot look at its former victim's eyes and work with them (a fellow liberal democracy and closest neighbour South Korea), unless the victims pretend like nothing has happened or that it was a rather good thing (Taiwan)
Am I wrong here? I'm sick of seeing the outpouring of praise towards a country like Japan. They have their good points absolutely, but their bad points never seem to be considered. | [

TBH I still puzzled by Japan's mentality regarding reappraisal of their past deeds. I think we're either missing something important in their psyche, or apologies are way more important to them than expected, leading to a reluctance to give them out. Either way, I'm not happy with it, but would pick Japan any time.
I'm also not surprised by their low-level racism which spreads through their society, given that almost nobody there has encountered any foreigners in their entire lives. This effect can also be observed in eastern Germany. | [

Hmm. I think NATO's primary purpose is mutual protection in Europe. Most of the countries that are in NATO don't have meaningful force projection capabilities beyond the European continent, and so would have little ability to come to Japan's aid if Japan were attacked by China. I also am not sure how helpful Japan could be to Europe if Russia decided to try to roll their tanks through Eastern Europe and see how far they could get.
The UK and Britain both have substantial expeditionary capability, but the ally that Japan really needs (and has) is the US. | [
