Star Trek 4 is absolutely similar to some of the corny time travel shenanigans episodes they did on the show. Whereas Star Trek 1 is also similar to an episode of the show, because it actually literally is almost the same plot as several of them. But with a bunch of special effects scenes added, and kind of a more serious tone.

hexwren posted:The show, whose tone was consistent with precisely gently caress-all I've been watching a lot of The Andy Griffith Show lately for a podcast and this seems pretty true of most scripted TV in the 1960s. I think there were a lot of rules about content (what you couldn't say or show) but absolutely no rules on editorial/style - plus a lot of writers had been taken from radio and no one really knew/had standards for writing for television yet. Plus, they weren't writing to be re-watched or binged, the idea of syndication was still brand new, so they thought they were creating something mostly ephemeral, making continuity a secondary priority. Plus, as previously mentioned, a lot of it was just "what studio resources can we get this week?" The plot of Andy Griffith Show Episode 1: A little boy is sad because his new caretaker doesn't know how to play stickball. The plot of Andy Griffith Show Episode 2: There is an escaped convict prowling through the woods outside Mayberry, there is a state-wide manhunt for his arrest, he has stolen an officer's gun and he is taking hostages, and only Andy has the knowledge of local landmarks that can take him down.

They're really both equivalent to each other in that they're a show that's designed so that they can be any genre and any setting any week; whatever the writers want, they can just do on the next planet.

Plus, as previously mentioned, a lot of it was just "what studio resources can we get this week?" Upstairs, Downstairs ran in the UK (and worldwide) in the 1970s. It wasn't initially written to be shown in reruns, but was written meticulously as there were still many people still alive from its timeframe - roughly 1905-30 - and it wanted to be accurate as possible. It also had to handle a small budget. It was rare to have all the main characters in a single episode. Besides money, many had theatrical and other commitments. Before any episodes were written each year, the showrunners came up with episode topics and characters to be used in them, based on who was available. The show rarely went outdoors because of budget constraints. There was a whole season about World War I and not a single battlefield was seen as it instead focused on the homefront.

Other people have pointed out that this is the third major yeti/bigfoot cryptid movie to come out in a year but also it being a big friendly blue thing with a pronounced lower jaw and large rounded teeth is something Wonder Park and the next Pixar movie are doing around the same time.

I swear I started seeing posters for Abominable in January with no explanation for what the movie was supposed to be. Just a set of eyes and some fur you could touch with the title emblazoned across the bottom. Now, after several months of near radio silence, I'm getting bombarded constantly with ads for it.

I was gonna say I saw one before I saw Lego Movie 2 but that was actually the Missing Link which looks Aardman as hell. I saw the trailer for Wonder Park that night too and it seems like it was just vignettes about rides at a park. Like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but without the mind numbing horror, so I bet there's a small subset of parents already wearing out a DVD of it for their under 3 yo

I'm assuming TERMINATOR gets so many story credits because it's, you guessed it, part of a planned trilogy. Those names are basically the writing room that Cameron put together.
