headphone jacks in phones
Honestly, the sd card is arguably more important. I mean, headphones, there are workarounds like adaptors or wireless. But being able to stick a 1tb sd card in is just sooo good, basically a portable PC. There is no workarounds for sd card slot.
Moto 5g stylus has both. I just bought my daughter one for Christmas. The downside is using a moto phone which have gone downhill imo since the Nexus 6. But my daughter is 10 and just wants a phone with a stylus for drawing stuff and it was only $99 with my fi plan so why not?
gone downhill imo since the Nexus 6
Nexus 6 was released October 2014. That same month, Moto Mobility was sold to Lenovo. So its not just "in your opinion" that was the start of the reduction in quality of the Moto brand.
Mandatory Firefly comment
Also Pushing Daisies, Better Off Ted, Jericho, My So Called Life, Dead Like Me, Freaks and Geeks...
I'm here for Pushing Daisies.
Every time somebody mentions Firefly I automatically think of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
Bruce Campbell in a steampunk cowboy romp across the old west?
That show ended way too soon.
Dark Matter (the SyFy show), it was just getting good!
I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the original series from me.
The title has two questions and this one only fits one of them.
Wish wasn't cancelled, yes!
Wish they brought it back? No, it was a long time ago, and they made Serenity to close off the story and tie things up. It's likely that bringing it back would do more harm than good.
Travelers TV Show. Doesn't even need the original actors, its perfect scenario for a reboot with different characters.
The Expanse. I mean come on, there still so much book material left... 🙄
And SD Card slots, god damnit. I don't wanna spend +$500 more just for 1tb storage, a 1tb sd card is like $100. Fuck these greedy corporations.
I get so petty about this that I got an A series samsung phone instead of the S series, just for the sd card slot.
The show runners for The Expanse claimed that they ended the show where they did because the show had reached a natural conclusion, the books took a giant time leap, and they felt the rest of the story would be better developed into a sequel series at a later time.
Actually yeah. A reboot of travelers would be amazing. Because you could go in any direction….
Redo to series as is. Redo it where since so many things went wrong, we’re gonna reset the timeline.
Hell yeah 👍
So what they actually did was basically flawless from start to finish.
But give me 100 more episodes of the Good Place anyways.
I agree but at the same time I'm happy it got an actual ending instead of being drug out because of its popularity.
Oh yeah I could not get enough of that show
How about things that never were but have always existed? Been waiting my entire adult life (I’m 42) for GRRM to finish Game of Thrones. My kid was 2 when the last book came out and now he’s driving lol
Firefly! We need more seasons of that amazing show!
I used to think like you, then I saw some sit down with joss whedon and the rest of the cast where he talked about where the series would have gone if it hadn't been axed by Fox after the first season, and man it was a WEIRD talk. Joss started going on about the eventually fate of Inara and not only was it super harsh, but Joss kept giving Inara's actor the creepiest looks and I sware on me mum the whole table got skeeved out.
Honestly made me appreciate Serenity that much more as the cap to the series
Inside Job. Canceling a series when there's a cliffhanger should be illegal!
Also, Windows Mixed Reality, my VR headset is going to become a paperweight when I'll be forced to migrate off Windows 10 in a year.
Better off ted. Fantastic show.
S tier TV Shows cancelled by streaming studio fucks:
Raised by Wolves (Max), Little Demon (Hulu), Archive81 (Netflix), Scavenger's Reign (Originally Max, then cancelled, bought by Netflix, then fucking cancelled again. Clowns)
Archive 81 was great. I’m surprised it wasn’t picked up by another channel.
My name is Earl.
Loved this series so much. After finding out how they were going to end it, I would have loved to have watched it play out.
Light pickup trucks.
I have a few:
Choco Tacos: some places have been rumored to have brought this back
Mountain Dew Pitch Black. Reintroduced and limited.
Heroes franchise/series. Creator is rumored to be bringing it back.
'I am not okay with this' Netflix series based on a grophic novel.
Wish I had tried Pepsi Blue. Grew up in the 90's but never tried it.
Edit to add: The OG version of GTA San Andreas uncensored. My buddy had a copy we would play but I never got my hands on a copy of my own. If owned this would be a collector'd item.
Surge soda. They bring it back every once in a while but the demand isn't there.
A super niche one: the 2000s show "John Doe"
A guy wakes up with amnesia and doesn't know who he is
But he basically knows everything else.
Weird mystery that ended on a cliffhanger and basically no questions answered (although the show creator later revealed the later plans and plot)

Command & Conquer series as a whole, no releases in 4 years, the last new release was a mobile game in 2018, and the last proper new entry was 2012.
The fan community has (at least) two really high quality mods still undergoing active development, with an actual release in the last two years. Giving this series the Sonic Mania treatment would be incredible, and probably make EA a lot of money, but also is very unlike their usual business practices.
GLOW! A travesty it never got a fourth season.
I'd like to see Sega come out with a modern console just to see what they would come up with
Pringles Schezuan BbQ potato chips. In the purple bag. Those were the bomb.
1899 on Netflix - Season 1 was great and ended on a really intriguing moment. And then they cancelled it. Sigh.
PT. A horror game from Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro and from the Silent Hill series? Yes please
Canadian here. Chocolate company Laura Secord made a chocolate bar called the Royale. Or Mint Royale? Something like that. Basically a "solid" mint milk chocolate bar that would just melt in your mouth. Those things were fantastic.
When I was 16 (now late 30s for reference) they sold off the chocolate bar to Nestlé Canada. Who immediately changed the recipe to use, I assume, cheaper chocolate. Maybe cheaper everything. It was never the same and after a year or two they just disappeared, never to be seen again.
My first experience with enshittification I guess.
Galavant, it was a show that only lasted ~~a season,~~ two seasons, but was just kind of a medieval-era musical drama/comedy that didn't take itself too seriously.
The songs were catchy, the characters were a little corny but grew on you, and the actors could sing fairly well. But, ~~it only got one season and ended on a cliffhanger, so we'll never know what could have been~~ I think it deserved one more season to bring some closure to some things. :/
🎶Way back in days of old, there was a legend told, about a hero known as Galavant🎶
Edit: another user pointed out a few things I was wrong about, edited to correct.
