i tend to shy away from talking about fight club but: i'm planning on watching unreal s1 in the near future. (even if it's the only season worth watching.) "welcome to the summer of 2015, jonesy."

at one point experts were theorizing that the surge in unreality programming was going to be the death knell for fully-scripted television. then that went in the complete opposite direction. 'they' had finally found a way to monetize niche audiences in tv as 'they' had been doing with music for years. 'they' just have to work out a similar mechanism for movie theatres and the death knell of non-tentpole cinema can be similarly arrested.
