I hope you aren’t. Serialized storytelling does have its place. I will concede that, but that place is small limited run series like Game of Thrones that have a set end point, not open ended shows like Star Trek. Even Game of Thrones was getting thin... (when will winter just come already) Serialization has made for…

Now all the shows are soap operas and they suck just as bad. It’s the whole point of this article. Seralized storytelling is an over used tool that needs to be controlled like a fungal infection.

Enough to save it? That’s one of the things that ruined it.

It’s not a contradiction. It works sometimes just like a broken clock works sometimes. But on the whole it ruins the story in favor of character development. Especially in star trek when the characters aren’t the point. They are props. They don’t spend anytime developing them because we already know them all we…

No. The point is that the serialized format is ruining the storytelling. There are times it works, but star trek was always a metaphorical tale of current events. The Klingons were the Russians, the Romulans were the Chinese and the Bajorans and the Cardassians are the Middle East conflict. That is why the…

I’ve been saying this for many years. Thank you for this article. Kids today just don’t understand proper storytelling and just want their cliffhangers and story arcs. A tight self contained story can give writers so many more options and directions they can go.

You totally missed the point of Star Trek. It wasn’t a show about some characters flying through space. It was a show about American life in the 60’s told through metaphors. How did you not get that? It doesn’t matter how Kirk deals with tragedies going forward because the show isn’t about him.

Actually, *pushes glasses up on nose while pointing a finger up to accentuate the point* this is watching the leaves obey Newtons’s first law of motion.

Becoming more and more typical as people cut the cord and get 4K TVs. If you have broadband and they want you to accept a cap, don’t. If you are getting new service and they have a cap, say no.

99% may not have hit it a few years ago but things always get more and more data hungry. If they try to sucker you into a capped plan just laugh and say no.

Everything. I don’t have cable tv so I stream everything. Also I have an EyeTV with an HDHomeRun so anything my antenna picks up I can watch on my iPad or iPhone wherever I am. I have security cameras, smart home devices, and a vpn setup. But 1TB isn’t that much. Anyone who gets suckered into a cap on their data…

If the cap is 1TB I blow past that regularly and I don’t use 4K at all.

I have no cap and never had. Most ISPs don’t have caps. Comcast doesin some markets but my time warner/spectrum doesn’t.

Actually, most don’t. In a few markets they have added them as a test, but most markets are the normal broadband without a cap.

It’s because it is the last of the trek in that timeline. Everything else comes before those episodes.

Jerry mentions in episode 2 that, due to the divorce, they will see him every other week, and what do you know, he’s in every other episode.

Fuck that guy.

She wasn’t elected to the highest office in the land.

I’m actually sitting by a pool shooting a tv show.

There is supposed to be a higher standard.
