  • I'm weird

    From Charles Pierson@1:106/127 to All on Tue Jan 12 04:12:16 2021
    So I was scrolling through tv shows on Hulu yesterday looking for something different. Not necessarily to watch, but to have background noise while I
    was doing othher things,

    I came across a ridiculous show called Deadbeat, Basically because I saw
    some actors on it that I can't name, but recognize them from other shows or movie films.

    Anyway, it's a dumb comedy about a slacker who see ghosts and helps tgem with their unfinished business so they can cross over.

    So with all the ridiculousness, one thing in particular struck me as unbelievable. He's in a PortaCan talking to a ghost in a mirror. I'm
    willing to suspend believe for everything else, but an actual mirror in a portajohn nakes me say "Come on?"

    EVERYONE looks in the mirror before leaving the bathroom.

    It's just one of those things you can't help but ponder at 4am
    in the morning. Perfectly natural.

    I don't remember the last time I was in one of those portacans
    (some rock concert in a park somewhere), but I wouldn't be
    surprised if they have mirrors.

    I think it's more because it's weird in an area where it doesn't have to be for the story to make sense. You expect the ghosts and the afterlife and everything else in the story, because otherwise it wouldn't be a story. But they change something so small and so unrelated to the main "weird" premise that it doesn't need to be? That might be what's ticking you off.
