Clearly, you have never read 50 Shades of MODOK.

Gotta’ say, the Spider Man problem is more a problem of potential execution than anything inherent to the notion. You could start with a Spider Man film to act as a sort of street-level introduction to the universe, and then slowly zoom out to examine other parts of the web (no pun intended) of characters. It’s only a…

Maybe it’s less an argument in the field, and more of an argument within my workgroup. The “return to waterfall” thing comes up every time the engineers get grumpy with the scrum master. It must be noted that the default emotional setting for most of the engineers is Grumpy .

I work on an Agile development team. I cannot count the number of times the “Agile v. Waterfall” debate has raged in our group. Alternatively, I could just count it as one long-running, intermittently intense debate.

Yeah, 300 fits there for me as well. I also thought that it went a bit too far in glorifying the Spartans, who were pretty much just a fascist military dictatorship with a side-order of pederasty.

Prison tats, maybe?

It’s also worth pointing out that Studio Suits are hardly a monolithic group. Often, the Studio Suits who value character, story, and dialog end up getting pushed out by the sorts who care far more about the bottom line.

Subutai is definitely one of the most fascinating characters, and would make an interesting focal point for the story.

As someone who is generally in favor of entertainment featuring Jonathan Pryce in some capacity, I concur.

I would love to see a movie about the feud between Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz over the invention of calculus.

It depends on which David Goyer you get. Sometimes, you get the Batman Begins Goyer, which usually travels with high-quality collaborators. Sometimes, you get the Blade Trinity Goyer, which, well, ‘nuff said.

Obviously, I don’t know what bears are.

Well, technically, outside of food, water, shelter, and clothing, we don’t really need much of anything. Sometimes I think the headlines are too quick to toss around that word. But what do I know? I’m a bear! I suck the heads off of fish!

Let me put it this way: if the chips were down, and you were seriously hurt, Dr. Crusher would instruct you to go have a lie-down and hope technology makes you better. Pulaski would patch you up, come hell or high water, and by the end of the scene, you’d be back on the job no worse for wear. Crusher might be more…

One of my groomsmen makes custom action figures as a hobby. The cake topper he made for us involved modifying a set of Thor and Sif action figures. It remains one of my favorite things ever.

I would pay good money for a Garak cameo.

It's like saying all soup is the same, which is absurd. Yes, there are many common characteristics shared across soup varieties, but it's how those common characteristics are used that makes them different.

What constitutes a creative decision? Can someone with both a creative degree AND a business degree make creative decisions? What about someone who got a business degree, but devoted their career and spare time to learning a creative aspect?

Doctor Who is the exception that proves the rule, though, because it effectively turns into a new show with each regeneration of the Doctor.

I would also add: there has to be a plan for how the whole thing ends from the beginning. This plan can change, it can adapt, and it can be thrown out all together if, midway through, you discover something much better. But you still have to plan for how the duration of the run will go.
