For a related issue, Kim Possible was aired out of order, leading to various problems if you watch the episodes in the order they were aired. I am given to understand this is fairly common for older TV shows.
Jellyfin has major problems dealing with this common situation. To Jellyfin, the source of truth is imdb. Imdb numbers Kim Possible episodes in the order they were aired. If you want the metadata that jellyfin scrapes from imdb, and you also want to watch the episodes in an appropriate order, you have to do this:
1. Number all of the episodes in airing order.
2. Ask Jellyfin to fetch the metadata.
3. Renumber the episodes into the correct order.
4. Remember never to ask Jellyfin to scan any directory that contains those episodes again.
If you mess up, Jellyfin will attach descriptions and preview images to every file that aren't, technically, related to the episode in that file.
> "look it up" and "search for it" somehow became "search it up" with the young people
It wouldn't actually be necessary for the phrase "look it up" to exist for this to happen. You're free to apply the particle "up" to pretty much any English verb if you want the semantics that it provides. Compare rustle up, turn up, etc.
You might also want to take note of the episode of Kim Possible where Ron is unsatisfied with the performance of an actor studying to play him, and tells the actor to "Ron it up".
Nice article. I had never thought about this matter this way and it makes total sense.
When I was a teenager McFly was a very popular band among teenagers, specially teen girls. I, a teen boy, also liked McFly. I remember that I used to tell people "hey, McFly is actually good, the problem is their fanbase". Only now I realise what I meant by that: "McFly is a good band. But I value it less because it's liked mainly by girls". Even if I didn't express this about the other "girly" things, I feel that I internalized that those things are worth less, even though I liked those things, things such as High School Musical, Hillary Duff movies, Lindsay Lohan movies, Totally Spies, Kim Possible, the list goes on.
There's one for Big Hero 6 too. Don't care much for the animation style; if they're gonna go 2D I'd rather they used something that looked smooth and dynamic, like Kim Possible. But plot-wise it keeps up much of the vibe of the film.
