It's the normal way to do things. I think the Netflix execs became too convinced that everything Netflix makes is great.

The outline for Babylon 5 is very different than where the show went. It's just that you had one guy writing it, so he had a lot of control over the changes and kept things feeling natural.

CBS doesn't know how to do the streaming thing, and they think this will make people subscribe to their streaming service.

I thought it would've worked better if they had introduced the girlfriend as one of Pike's people, have Bellamy as an early Pike supporter, then becomes conflicted after the massacre instead of later on. Same basic plot beats.

There is no such thing as an ideal episode count. This is a grass-is-always-greenerism.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:

Uh, what? JJ definitely has worse pacing, the 2nd half of Luke Cage could've been a few episodes shorter too.

No pacing would've made Diamondback not be lovely.

It's really not. Those 2 shows definitely could've been condensed down to have much tighter pacing without anything, especially JJ.

A bad/good/mediocre 13 episode show would've been a bad/good/mediocre 8 episode show because it's the same people writing it. People regularly say the same thing in reverse too.

Rogue One is good actually

It's definitely in the top 5 of Star Wars movies, anyway

I feel like it would've been better without the unnecessary blind super-kung-fu monk character that's in a hundred movies and TV shows.

Yeah I've basically been hearing nothing but good things aside from insane people who hate Abrams Trek on principle and people who are mad Star Trek is "getting political".

I have a cousin that still rants about 90s Trek being too "politically correct" for being helmed by a woman and a black man. Can't imagine he's happy.

I'd watch Discovery if it was on TV instead of All Access.

I tried to watch Dark Matter again. Too boring. I feel like it's a mish mash of stuff done better elsewhere. A ship full of criminals that don't know or like each other at first was a hundred times more fun on Farscape. The Android is Poor Man's Data. And I can't get over the silliness of the katana-wielder from Planet Medieval Japan.

There's something you can do that makes it so you can name your kids whatever weird thing you want. They'll be just fine and it might be sufficiently popular when they're older. Just be rich, simple as that.

Nah, it was 16 episodes of setup, one episode of payoff, and then an episode of telling you that payoff was nothing and then a bunch of fans claim that if you wanted payoff you were an idiot.

Even calling the penultimate episode "payoff" at all is quite a stretch.
