My favourite show, first season is a bit slow but it gets better and better every time.

I just hope they manage to cover all books

The show's going to end with the next season, before they hit the final three books. That's probably a good thing, considering that they jump three decades for the last segment of the book series. They haven't ruled out that they won't return to it at some point, though.

Worked out well enough for Twin Peaks; just have to hope not too many of the cast member die an untimely death heh.

Season 6 is the end, although there are rumblings of a movie. It would be difficult to handle the time-skip between the 6th and 7 book, IMO.

Next season (S6) is the final season for the show, unfortunately.

I think it's probably a good place for it to leave off. The books take a 30 year jump after Book 6.

Yeah, like everyone else says, 6 is the end. And they already retroactively removed one of the primary actors of the show from season 5 (clumsily, with edits and reshoots) because of unproven accusations, as is the style of the times.

okay, but in this case there are at least forty separate accusations spanning many years, including a couple minors. [0]

I'm all for a healthy dose of skepticism with these things, but how much more would it take to convince you?

A court case where he is judged guilty of a crime. Anything else is literally just an unproven accusation.

do you really live your whole life as if no one does anything wrong unless a) there is a specific law against it and b) they are found guilty in court? most businesses do not operate this way, nor did they before #metoo.

I ask this specific question because some of what is alleged in that thread is not actually illegal, it's just a shitty way to treat women. do you think I should get to keep my job if actual customers repeatedly complain that I treated them as disposable pieces of meat?

A skeezy guy without the visibility that Cas has but the same behavior would only lose their job if they were skeezin' at work.

Most of the accounts are of fans that agreed to get drinks with Cas or go to his hotel room. He treated them like shit but there weren't any accounts of rape or abuse.

this is part of my point though. they're not just random people; they are fans (ie, customers) that adore the characters he's played. I dunno if that makes it worse morally (probably at least a little), but it definitely makes a bad thing much worse from a business perspective.

I read the list linked. Did you? He is accused of crimes. Instead of just accusing and witch hunting with an assumed guilt he should be able to face those charges in a court of law.

Since he hasn't, no, I don't believe any of the claims of illegal behavior. As for the claims of non-illegal behavior that was rude, well, it reads to me like he often failed at his attempts to pick up woman and was quite bad at it. I don't see any problems.

Not sure how this is unproven when there are verified screenshots of his behavior available to us. I like the actor's performance and the character but when someone behaves as poorly as that, it needs to have consequences.
