Might I suggest "Spye"?

Domestication!

The only thing I'd say is that it should invest in the crazy that's there instead of adding new crazy every single episode.

Why are they letting the baby Ankylosaurus go? This is infuriating. Hook it up to a plow! This colony makes absolutely zero sense!

Yes, you can cast the characters with the appropriate ethnicities as Heinlein wrote them.

Yeah, let the scariness do its own work.

Are we certain it's a remake of the subversive Verhoeven movie, and not a separate adaptation of the book?

Slings and Arrows!!!!!

As it stands, the choice to have the main character be a policeman stepping into an already established setting is ideal for so many reasons.

Sure, but no one calls them on it - there is no point where Yelchin's character says, "That's not going to end well." There is no scene where her parents say, beforehand, "You shouldn't do that" or afterwards, "Well you dug this hole yourselves." There is no pointing up of the entitled, privileged snobbery that comes

Great piece! Cited you elsewhere, in relation to the New York Times piece about entrepreneurs that make a ton of money with no English at all.

My biggest issue is that the characters make no sense given the demands the plot of the film makes on them. Forgetting for the moment the issues with the premise that the movie is based on, making Shakespeare a tremendous idiot and De Vere a shut in with sexy aspergers make the movie's basic premise ridiculous.

You know how people get mad when other people deny evolution and global warming?
