Because it sucks? Oh. -- nm - Reagen Oct 31, 10:42 1

I hope that Rapp doesn't suffer for coming forward. He's clearly very talented, and deserves a great career. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 10:39 10
- Should Spacey suffer that fate though? -- nm - Max Oct 31, 10:48 7
  - Sexual assault of a minor. Had he been arrested and charged at the time, I suspect it would have ended his career. -- nm - kilboooooo, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Oct 31, 11:00
  - Should a pedophile suffer? Yes. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:54 1
    - Everything in context. In Spacey's case we're talking one alleged case, drunk, 30 years ago that probably wouldn't have resulted in prison time. - Max Oct 31, 11:04
  - Are they doing this now because they expect more recent incidents to come out? -- nm - Little Miss Scary Oct 31, 10:51 3
    - i just think companies are walking on eggshells and *no-one* wants to be seen as being 'on the side' of someone accused of these types of crimes. - Sexy Android Andie Oct 31, 10:59
    - I mean, that's my question. this is *kind of* insanity. -- nm - amanda jones state university Oct 31, 10:54 1
      - I guess some people want a certain level of justice, punishment and wilderness years, but Polanski gets plenty of work. -- nm - Little Miss Scary Oct 31, 11:03
- I think he will always be "that guy". -- nm - Reagen Oct 31, 10:42 1
  - Maybe. But I could see there being a way he comes out of it clean. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 10:44
Kill the character off. If that means a delay and rewrite than so be it. -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 10:39 17
- Do big-name actors ever have clauses in their contract concerning what can't happen to the character they play? -- nm - mara Oct 31, 10:42 1
  - not that i've ever heard of. sometimes they have producer credits as well, which would give them some (but only some) say over story. -- nm - Sexy Android Andie Oct 31, 10:43
- The show basically was on the fence for a 7th season anyway it seems. It's fine to be done. -- nm - kilboooooo, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Oct 31, 10:41 6
  - I thought it was supposed to end after the 6th season, currently shooting. -- nm - mara Oct 31, 10:42 5
    - correct and they're looking at 3 spinoffs. one with Stamper, one about the reporters, and I forget the other one. -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 10:43 4
      - Claire moving to Idaho -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 10:53 3
        
        somehow the gritty politics of Idaho doesn't seem like something that would capture national interest -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 10:56 2
        
        "We're running out of grits!" There, you've written one episode already -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 10:58 1
        
        "The Sweet Potato lobby is making their move!" -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 11:02
- Recasting would be a lot more humiliating. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:41 6
  - suggestion I heard was to keep following Claire. - Reagen Oct 31, 10:44 1
    - Is that Robin Wright? I've never seen the show, but I did see the suggestion to just kill Spacey off and follow her characaterr -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 10:55
  - interesting...who would you cast? Stellan Skarsgard would be interesting -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 10:42 3
    - I've never seen the show but off my head, I'd say David Hyde Pierce. -- nm - David Oct 31, 10:49
    - Zombie Ian Richardson -- nm - Little Miss Scary Oct 31, 10:44 1
      - Zombie Walter Mathau. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 10:44
- but make it a wasteful death. hollow and meaningless. Like choking to death on some ribs. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 10:40
