Iirc, Vince Gilligan said something like his best writing for Breaking Bad came when he and the writers were backed into a creative corner and had to find their way out.

Personally, I would add Person of Interest to the list of shows that are inheritors to the X-Files mantle. Like X-Files, it has a fluid premise that allows for a pretty broad range of tones from one week to the next, it has a largely unprecedented mash-up of genres (scifi, procedural, crime drama, superhero), it…

I didn’t say it was a problem with the game. I said it wasn’t my thing.

Yeah, the satire in Outer Worlds wasn’t really my thing. But I’m the kind of person who, by and large, prefers my scifi to be serious.

I am curious to see how this pans out in comparison to No Man’s Sky (and not in competition - I think both games will be distinct enough, and there’s plenty of room for more than one player on this field). NMS has sometimes struggled with the inherent repetition that comes with ‘there’s an infinite number of worlds to…

Fwiw, I’ve played it since launch, I’m on my newest playthrough, and there’s still a ton of freedom to play as you like. If you don’t want to basebuild but just forever explore out into new star systems just for the heck of it, that possibility is still very present.

Yes! I’m so excited.

Yeah, I find this classification of WoT as being feminist or matriarchal just kind of a weird misunderstanding of the text.

Still my favorite James Horner score.

I’m gonna be that person.

He’s my favorite character on PoI and I’m having to work REALLY, REALLY HARD not to let his *ahem* politics color the show.

I mean, I’m glad he said it...but we all know this is exactly what’s going to happen. And then in 5-7 years, we’ll hear complaints from WB execs scratching their heads wondering why they just had a series of toy-based movies that flopped.

Yes, but the important thing is that Sandra Bullock finally got her Oscar.

And yet TNG, DS9, VOY, and ENT all began their runs with entirely new casts (with the exception of O’Brien) that had almost no direct ties to their predecessors.

Captain Seven + Raffi, Jack, LaForge Sisters wouldn’t really be newbies. And Matalas has been pretty clear with his intentions about revisiting established parts of the Trek universe. The show he has in mind is even called Legacy.

Ha!

I agree. SNW is great, but with the limited number of episodes + commitment to episodic format, there aren’t going to be any radical paradigm shifts.

Even though I don’t agree with all of them, I think your opinions are incredibly valid.

I, for one, can’t wait to see Chekov, Sulu, Rand, McCoy, Lt. Leslie, Commodore Mendez, Mr. Atoz, Kevin Riley and his velvet pipes, Gary Mitchell, Matt Decker, Apollo, Mira Romaine, D’Amato, Landru, Ben Finney, and of course everyone’s favorite, Gaetano next season.

Poor Ortegas is never going to go on another away mission after this.
