@JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic I think it could also be a comfort thing for other neurotypes. But then, I only figured out I was autistic after raising two autistic children!

How else are we supposed to learn every line of dialog?

I had a notebook that is gone at this point sadly with all of the verbatim speeches in 'the pallisers'

#Trollope knew a thing or two about a turn of phrase

Glencora has the gift of laughter which is belittled by simple minds and loved by the gods

Or something like that It's always so much more succinct than I remember which is why I have to write them down to get them really right

But I study old text as a facet of my awesome job

Are you also...rejectionist? Like, i'll watch the first season of Rick and Morty forever, but when they changed Rick's personality in e1 of s2, i said, "fuck this show".

Do you go hard against things you think are crap?

@Uair @actuallyautistic
Yeah. Sort of.

Like Community after the graduation episode when the show switched platforms/networks and did this hokey things where instead of students, everyone was part of some weird committee. I try to pretend seasons 5 and 6 don't exist.

Or Scrubs after it switched networks.

@JeremyMallin @actuallyautistic My youngest brother did this when we were kids. I can still quote some of the movies verbatim, just from passing through the room occasionally while they were on.
