True - but I've also seen too many seasons stretched to 6 or 8 episodes when the material would work better at 3 or 4
I am becoming quite sick of 8 episode seasons from major shows. It condenses plotlines and makes unnecessary cuts to stories. Even 2 more episodes would be preferable with 10 episodes stretched out across a longer release schedule.

Ah, those dastardly Chins!
This is why we proofread. Going through a piece on a science-fiction novel, I discover I had written: that it "anticipates a war between the USA and Chins".

A political party that stand up for humanity - whatever next!
The Greens don’t believe providing safe refuge for endangered asylum seekers is an “out-of-control” policy.
Nor do we believe making life more difficult for those in need is the way to unify British society.
Refugees are welcome.
