Nyssa, who has noticed that the standards of a lot of
things have dropped over the last few years, so things
have sort of shifted to grading on the curve
 

Grading on the curve just encourages slacking off.
 

Slacking off would be the nicest thing you could say
about the current crop of TV and movie writers.

If these people were truly creative, they'd have some
original ideas for shows instead of constant reboots
and re-imagining of old series, remakes of old movies,
and strings of shows based around decades-old comic
book heroes and villains.

Call it slacking off, goofing off, or taking the easy
way out it all adds up to the equivalent of grading
on a curve. How else would these people keep getting
jobs and renewals of sub-par entertainment?

Nyssa, who wishes she could get paid the kind of money
these people get for just "borrowing" others' ideas
and then still ending up with crappy results
