Yeah... but doing what? Like a "filler" to me isn't specifically about an episode following an individual character. You can do that and not be "filler". If such an episode is in aid of furthering the overall plot of the show, giving the viewer wider context of how the character falls into it, showing their motivations etc. A character filler episode here is where the outcome of the episode essentially doesn't matter, and it's just done as a kind of break from the season/serial plot. Like Carol chasing rats and Daryl fixing his motorbike during those COVID era episodes of TWD.
That would be really out of place in Dark and would be just be whiplash.
Sorry, yes, excluding the off-instance examples. Although they're pretty much dead. There's way more random disorganised/abandoned tv/movie communities across lemmy.
Okay, so I'm the guy who set up television@lemm.ee. My instinct would be to say that the "TV" side should all come under that just because of the name being more intuitive. I was sorta surprised "Television" wasn't taken. I do realise also this community is quite a bit larger than my community.
The history of this seems a bit odd as the name is technically "showsandmovies" yet it's been repurposed to be about television, or was instantly edited to become about TV/streaming. But that's my bit.
I haven't a clue what to do with "moviesandtv" though lol.
Well, what does "filler" here mean to you? Dark is a tragedy where the characters in a personal sense aren't really relevant. It's hardly a series about 'slice of life' or "spend time with Jonas/Martha" to see what they get up to.
Yeah, I made television because I didn't think showsandmovies mod team was active. I was then headhunted to help out there. I don't know where television stands now though even if I think it has the best name for... well, tv-posting. Whilst I agree with "showsandmovies" is an odd name as its been repurposed for TV primarily... but it seems to be the most popular and developed.
But whilst you can obviously overlap to some degree, movies and tv are just as commonly separate communities so from 4 you can get at least 2.
TV/Film are pretty different communities, but the overspill of them can be merged - to be sure.
