God, who cares about that stuff. That's like the least important thing to worry about when it comes to trek continuity. We all know the answer is "we have better special effects and a bigger budget now". Like if the Goren showed up and no longer looked like a guy in a 10 cent halloween mask it wouldn't break my immersion or make me wonder why their species diverged.

For shows TVIV people have not all turned on, I just finished rewatching Terriers for like the 6th time. I had to do it on my phone since it’s off Netflix and I bought it on iTunes when it first aired, but it definitely puts Goliath and Sneaky Pete to shame and I love those shows. Rest in piece, sweet prince.

drat! Calamity Jane cleans up nice! And also Dietland is pretty good so far, looking forward to the rest of the season. I don't think I heard or read about it anywhere before seeing it mentioned in this thread and I haven't since. Has AMC just not been marketing anywhere? I subjected myself to the most recent season of TWD, but otherwise don't watch AMC much. I definitely get the comparisons to Fight Club and Mr. Robot but that seems mostly limited to the Jennifer stuff, rather than Plum herself, unless I've been missing a poo poo ton of foreshadowing.

I don’t think I’ve seen a single billboard for Dietland in NYC, which is a shame because it’s a great show (and gets much loving crazier  )

flyingexec does tend to get to see certain things early. I assumed he worked in the industry in some way, as a critic or maybe on sets of things but I was leaning towards the former

Why would they do a sequel to TNG and, if they have to do one, why is it about Picard and not Worf.

Apparently Disney has made a bigger offer now, so Fox will be run into the ground by them and not Comcast, which I guess is the better option? Get ready for Star Wars Night Court and poo poo.

We all know eventually Apple or Amazon will just outright buy Disney in the future. Apple has over 200 billion in cash.

It's hard to argue that Fox has been run better in the past decade.quote:In a statement, Fox said the new deal is significantly better than Disney’s earlier offer and “is superior to the proposal made by the Comcast Corporation.” So, I think this is pretty much a done deal now. Comcast had to get financing to offer their deal, so they aren't exactly in a position for a bidding war. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 13:58 on Jun 20, 2018 |

I don't know, Fox took risks on things nobody else would, even if they didn't usually give things much change to breathe when they did. Disney is nothing if not a play it safe company.
