Deus ex machinas are oh so last millennia.  Avoid them.

You've probably done something wrong if people care more about the antagonist than the protagonist, especially if it's before the antagonist's sob story.

You're only digging a deeper nerd/geek hole the more you enjoy fandom crossovers.

The end of an era reveals itself when changes continually come to a once successful thing.

Example:
Reality competition shows and their judge switcheroos.

The Olympics is one of the few remaining things that brings the world together peacefully.  The world roots for everyone's wellbeing and talents instead of trying to drag them down.

There is something to be said when certain children's cartoons are more poignant than many live-action movies.

There are never random shots in movies. Every hesitation, every lingering moment is a hint towards the ending.

One of the saddest things to experience is the conclusion of a fandom you love.

Being sucked into a fandom is a dangerous game.  Before you know it, one word happens:  OBSESSION.

Whenever watching or reading a fictional work, it's good to ask yourself:  "Why do I like this character?"  Better insight of yourself will be found, as well avoiding potentially adverse situations in the future.

Sometimes, it's shocking how much you can care about a fictional world and its inhabitants.

Never watch a show you like while on a short break from studying.  You will surely never stop in "5 minutes" and just keep marathoning...and marathoning...and marathoning...

For a well-done, convoluted wuxia story that will constantly keep you guessing, please watch Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, based on the novel by Jin Yong.

Contrary to May - Lesson 9, marathoning shows may actually be quite an excellent experience...if you're in the mood for it, as it may make the show's events easier to remember and thus make it more enjoyable.

You can usually tell if a woman directed a film due to an emphasis on pathos.  Just sayin'.

Not falling asleep during movie certainly helps one follow the plot (assuming there was a plot to begin with).

One of the most wonderful, heart-wrenching experiences a person can have is to finish a series, no matter the media form.

Having a break from studying is great, grand, fantastic! It'll give you time to catch up on things you need to do around the house and some TV shows with friends!

When starting a new show or movie, never start it late at night.  There may be something that will frighten you out of your wits.

When asking for math help--or any kind of homework help for that matter--from a parent, be sure that you have sealed off all possible escape routes.  Otherwise, a comical chase shall ensue and you will most likely lose your prey.
