Boring comment from an obviously boring person. How does it feel to be utterly mediocre?

Claudia Christian chimed in on a thread and it’s kind of interesting. She almost makes sound like she’s playing Ivanova again.

There must have been some major rewrites after Michael O’Hare, exited the series after the first season

Kind of mixed feelings about this news. On the one hand, I’m very fond of the original show from the ‘90s. On the other hand, the original was very old-fashioned space opera, with stuff like humanoid aliens who behave in recognizably human ways and telepathy, and I think at this point that seems kinda hokey (it works…

I think this will turn out well. Davies has had more than a decade to see what others have done, to learn from them, and to think about what he might do.

Actually, I would like that.

Yes, that’s definitely what I did when I gave my opinions.

I wish they had found someone new, but I am pretty glad Chibnall is leaving.  He seemed to have some really big ideas but had trouble developing them well.  When I think about the show under him the word that comes to mind is “half-baked.”

I think it would be a really interesting direction to a take an alien invasion story. Right now we are are very focussed on getting to Mars and “figuring it out” as a possible test bed for future off-world settlements and advance our understanding of the solar system. But what if we were denied those opportunities…

but the drama would be that “someone is building something on Mars and it ain’t us” and it will take time (a full season) to build a craft to check it out, meanwhile odd things keep happening on earth...

It's one of my biggest pandemic pet peeves. It's crazy how little people understand about the idea of ventilation, which seems fairly simple. "But it's outdoors!" So was every building before you put up walls and a ceiling. 

Seriously. We haven’t earned events lifestyle back yet. All the vaccine got us was, at best, a closer to normal day to day routine.

Chris Columbus is developing a live-action series based on his own House of Secrets novels co-authored with Ned Vizzini.

Looks like Pizza Dog is in it, which is key.

I, for one, would have a hard time driving an ox cart. 

The BBC original is one of my favourite comedy shows of the last few years, it’s superb.

The plot description for Ghosts reminds me that this novel is over sixty years old now and we still haven’t had an adaptation of it:

He’s here, he’s there, he’s every fucking-where!

Unless, of course, you happen to be gay.
