Re: What an alternate TL where there was a space sci fi show on TV from 2010-14 look

There are lots of them! But they don't get made, or get made on small scales, because we have to remember that the investors aren't in this to make art, they're in this to make cash. And proven...

Re: B5 Reboot?? Is it true??!!?!

Futurama's coming back? That show has more lives than an exceptionally lucky cat.

HBO does seem to nurse its shows a bit. And they can hardly complain about low numbers if it's behind a paywall.

Ain't that the truth. I remember watching it back in the late 90s/early 2000s thinking, "I see what JMS is doing but that kind of thing doesn't happen any more." In my defense, I was young; in my...

Re: Dune

I will also admit that it's one of my own rules that "no ending is better than a bad ending," so I partially withdraw my earlier semi-objection. (How's that for hedging my bets?)

Re: Dune

The difficulty of a "Part 1" movie is that you can't tell if it really did its job or not until you've seen and judged Part 2.
