Imma gonna vent super quick re CR: mandated hiatus' are actually a REALLY good thing, thats why most tv series/shows have a summer one and a winter one. it gives both the actors/producers a break and allows the fans to digest what they have watched
CR has been amazing in the sense that it gives us SO MUCH CONTENT every single week. and it rarely if ever takes a break. with the forced closure of a lot of gatherings and whatnot, it's unsurprising that a lot of people are getting antsy over how long the hiatus has been
but legit? we haven't even hit a 'normal' tv show hiatus. usually they're about 4 - 6 months depending on the show and the scheduling. and the pandemic adds a new layer of apprehension. I would much rather CR hold off on doing tabletop again until the US flattens their curve
because I want them all to be SAFE. it's not just about content; I have no doubt in my mind they all regularly recall what's happened or think about their characters or think about decisions that have been made. they're RPers, of course they do. its about SAFETY
many of the CR cast have families outside of the show that they need to take care of as well, to make sure THEY stay safe as well. as much as I miss CR, I want them safe more. I want them healthy more. I want them to be able to safely gather back at the table and have fun again
COVID has altered a lot of the shows we love, but by pushing for a faster 'opening', many people seem to forget that that could lead to disaster. so, yes, I want CR back. but I want them back when its SAFE and OKAY.
PS: I also would hate it if they transitioned the game to webcam only. much of the reason I love this show is because of the body language and nuances that are picked up only in person. you lose that on webcam. not to mention the mental toll it takes to keep that kind of focus
TLDR; let CR figure out the safest and easiest way to come back. we can miss it, we can daydream about it, but they are PEOPLE first and I hope and pray that they don't push things forward faster than they should solely because some people can't handle a hiatus
