If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

Oh, is this hasperat... replicated?

Hmm.

You know, I make a really good hasperat. If I had known we were doing Bajoran tonight, I would have brought some.

No, it's cool. This is, it's fine. Hey, let's have some of that kanar.

Hmm.

Is this...?

Cooking would probably be one of those skills you take up to liven up your Mandatory Federation Friendship Parties (like acting or trombining).
A novice would replicate the ingredients and put them together in a dish. A hipster would find ethically sourced Klingonian boqrat and prepare it authentically.

A real pro would figure out how to get the replicator to burn the dish.

From a bit back but it's impressive how quickly they mash that reset button at the end of that two-parter. The pre-credits wrapup is, like, literally Janeway asking how progress on DeBorging the ship is going, and how Seven looks mostly human now except for one or two Borg piercings.
All that dread over having to pass through BORG SPACE gone, too.

There's a quote from Bryan Fuller in The Fifty Year Mission where he says the writers were pushing to have Seven's transition take up the entire season, but Berman and/or UPN was adamant they get to "the syndication pattern" within a couple of episodes.

There's probably a shitload of current tv execs and producers who still believe wholeheartedly in fully episodic tv, with no continuity. There's still a big market for 1)Show new show. 2)Show it once or twice in rerun in same time slot 3)Sell in syndication, show in afternoons/weekends/on cable

It's gonna take years before that gets fully broken by streaming, so they continue to make tv to that.

To be completely fair, there are shows that work just fine with zero or minimal continuity. Voyager's failing was that its premise works much better with continuity than without it. Plus DS9 is standing right there next to it.

Well, TOS is a classic example. But it very much took space as allegory so each could be its own tale, like a collection of Aesop's fables or whatever. the crow that puts pebs into a jar doesn't have to come back when the donkey gets made king.

Both serialised and episodic television have their niche. One isn't necessarily better than the other, and both have a place. The danger of serialization is making a single episode still be interesting and not just blur into the overall story.

Some of my favorite shows of all time I haven't seen in years. I haven't watched Breaking Bad since it ended, The Wire in nearly a decade, or stuff like the netflix marvel shows even I haven't rewatched. Contrasted to the fact I've even been known to throw on random episodes of ENT when bored, or watch a Law & Order episode here and there on reruns.

I don't think any of those shows are even close to something like The Wire, but I just can't jump in and watch an episode of that, or Breaking Bad or something. I love them, but I can't just go back to them without a huge investment.

This is going to sound like heresy, but I think under the right circumstances, he could.

For instance, I think he could do a post-DS9 era movie (not with the original cast) that's basically The Rock with a bunch of Jem'Hadar holdouts.

One of his Transformers movies had a main character who carried around a laminated card explaining why he could gently caress his teenage girlfriend. Michael Bay is already a Voyager writer.
