Today on my blog: Farewell to Nichelle Nichols.
https://www.lukaskendall.com/post/farewell-to-nichelle-nichols
Oh no, that is so sad to hear of her passing. She lived a remarkable life and this post of yours is a wonderful tribute to her and the role she played on the show but in real life as well.
Having read the other post about STAR TREK, I think there is a wonderful purity to the child's view of the world and it contains aspirations that are worthy of living up to and working towards. Nichelle Nichols I think did a spectacular job for her part and will be sorely missed.

I just watched Space Seed where they were held prisoner in the conference room. Khan ordered Uhura to activate something on the computer and she sat stoic and silent. She got a violent slap across the face. She still refused to comply and prepared herself to be beaten again. That’s a profile in courage and a great moment for the character in the series. She always performed her lines flawlessly.
Nichelle was a much better actress than she had the opportunity to show back then, but her talent was evident to me. The quality of the lines were unimportant, she always gave a good reading in the series. She was excellent.

Well-reviewed? I love Nasim Pedrad so just checked IMDb and... ouch:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10338160/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Is this a case of anti-middle eastern review-bombing like Ms. Marvel got? Have you seen the show and it's actually good?
Even the highest rated episode is like a 4.4/10.

Haha, well if you ever DO see it, let me know what you think because I value your opinion.
I'm a fan of Nasim Pedrad, and since I grew up as an awkward half-Persian boy this might be right up my alley. But OH, that 2.8 IMDb rating is rather intimidating I won't lie...

I thought Chad was hilarious, easy 7 out of 10 for me. I'd say somebody is brigading the vote on IMDB.

I watched the first season of Chad on TBS, and it was pretty good. The catch is, you have to be okay with comedy that's all about the protagonist being a fool and frequently embarrassing himself. But Chad is funny, and not abrasively, brutally humiliating like Steve Carell in The Office, or some of those Ben Stiller movies. Chad has heart.
Regarding Batgirl, I'd say Ado has it right: it most likely stank. The two directors and the cast had plenty of diversity, but the quality wasn't there. And Warner Bros. didn't want the kind of egg on their face they got from Halle Berry in Catwoman.
That has to be it, because there is no way a tax write-off is financially preferable to a show. If it were, every project would be cancelled after its budget had been spent. It's absurd.

It's not going to be released at all, not on streaming, not on Bluray, that's the point of a write-off.

It's a stinker.

If it's unfinished, what's to release? A 90% completed film with no post production? If it is finished enough, then it'll probably be released much like Roger Corman's Fantastic Four film was. On the fuzzy quality bootleg market.
Or maybe, like The Day the Clown Cried, it'll just live on as a legend.
