There’s a part of me that wants Disney to confirm this show as hard, important canon so that 40 year old men have no choice but to engage religiously with it.

No.

Print novellas have been on the upswing for the past few years. Mostly from Tor.com bringing them back strong, but a few other publishers have been in on it. A lot of up-and-coming folks over the past few years have been from novella debuts, and most of the Murderbot series that (deservedly) launched Martha Wells into…

oh there are so many novellas out there!

I guess Crichton would probably be guesting on Rogan if he was still alive. I could see him writing reactionary novels about the dangers of trans people and the woke mind virus.

I took it as it sounded like they wanted to relax and actually have a fun party as opposed to having to play celebrity and have makeup and wardrobe done before attending, then worrying the next day if TMZ got an unflattering angle.

The funny thing is that Crichton cited Gregory Benford, an actual scientist and SF writer, as a source for his anti-environmentalist screed State of Fear, and he misrepresented Benford’s research to support his “climate change is bullshit” thesis.

And while I respect the man, Michael Crichton. I’ve been frustrated with the system he learned to manipulate. Dye in the wool sci-fi authors were exploring the latest ideas and barely getting by while MC would dust off something old enough to get a senior’s discount at the popcorn stand and make millions off it.

And he’d insist it wasn’t “science fiction,” it was all 100% plausible according to current research.

People like dinosaurs, people like guns and blowing shit up, it’s timeless.

It might not even be time travel, it might be an ancient astronauts thing!

Honestly, looks pretty cool! I don’t know what the twist will be (assuming there is one) but as said in the comments already my guess is they set off a massive explosion - ship reactor core or something - that is taken for an asteroid impact in 65 million years. Maybe the cryogenic crew wake up closer to modern times?…

B movies in theaters are the hipsters of 2022. Watch this set a wave of corny movies coming to theaters like its the 80s all over.

I believe it due to two words, Michael Crichton. And it seems he still lives on in spirit in he halls of Hollywood.

I’m genuinely somewhat flabbergasted a film like that has been made, in 2022, and not by Netflix. AND starring a proper Hollywood name n’ all. Not just the premise that involves time-travel, the whole movie looks like an unearthed Elevator PItch from 20 years ago.

I recall the first book was a lot of introductions and HEAVY history infodump for Michael, who we have yet to see even referenced in these teasers.

it all draws from the same well tbh

Looks absurd.  Not that there is anything wrong with that in this case.

What I really love about this is they seem to know exactly what kind of movie this is and just owns it.
