Man in the High Castle. Obviously
comment in response to post
He is a writer who has proven to be very prophetic and that would upset him deeply if he were alive today. Blade Runner, Total Recall, Man in the High Castle, Scanner Darkly, bits and pieces of Terminator, etc.

The idea of a PSU is interesting and depressing

What is the point of this post? Write about something you do like.

Wait until you hear about Sliders.

The Knight Rider lore of Wilton Knight doing a Robocop on Michael so he can become his replacement son is some dark stuff.

Where is my Trapper John, MD reboot?
comment in response to post
Don’t forget that it is a worse experience than what it was meant to replace. Random ad locations? Same ad four times in a row? Completely different volume levels? Wildly inappropriate ads? Thank you sir may I have another?!

This why you wrap up a story at the end of a season.

Zaslov doing bespoke bad decisions

Would that happen? That would be admitting that the real value of the company was HBO, not the sea of mediocrity that is Discovery.

Best movie you never want to watch again.

A bottle episode where Vader is stuck in an elevator with a precocious kid who keeps telling him that his outfit is cringe might be what we all need.

Wallace and Grommit is great!

There is noise that Expedition 33 (new company, team of 30, lots of former Ubisoft people) will change the video game industry. Let’s hope so.

Awkward space fondue party was an unexpected delight.

Not to spoil A Scanner Darkly, but A Scanner Darkly is a book by Philip K. Dick that might be topical.

Does anyone share their tv show distribution strategies with you? A lot more shows are coming out weekly but it’s notable that Kevin Bacon’s Bondsman show got dumped all at the same time.

Is The Pitt the best show currently?
comment in response to post
Yes. Keep the game handy so it will make sense.

I am agreeing that they are not superstars but they were given many movies and franchises and they were promoted as themselves, not as the actors from Marvel or Star Trek or Guardians. People don’t want it
comment in response to post
I don’t know why movie stars don’t break through in the same way they used to but this is probably not why. A lot of effort went into making the gaggle of actors named Chris into superstars and people just didn’t care.

The exploration is fun. Hitting druids in the head with a cricket bat is also fun.

The season about gun vs knife is delightful

The Key and Peele sketch is all that is required.

When it comes to public tv, I want to hear more people talk about return on investment. Public TV has been R&D for for-profit tv forever. DIY shows, historical docs, cooking shows, etc, all tested and proved on public tv first.

Excellent book. Also:

It’s strange that Philip K. Dick wrote many books warning about what indentured life would be like on another planet, yet here we are.
