For five years we toiled over Star Trek: DS9 without break or surcease. Now we stretch lazily and do whatever we want.

Happy Bell Riots day. Here it is: the podcast where we really started pissing the fans off by arguing a beloved episode wasn’t maybe so good

All those streaming services Hollywood banked on don’t seem so stupid now do they?

Nevermind

It’s a contradictory truth that if you want to create something that really connects with people (even a lot of people), you gotta make it specific or personal (or both). Shōgun is right at the top of my to-watch list (after I finish the five shows I’m stinge watching). Writer of TV here. I won awards for an iconic HBO show. I can tell you that 95 percent of the blame here lies with the executives who are now so scared to lose their jobs that they just go right down the middle — to the mid, if you will. It’s easier to say yes to a show they have seen before than take a risk on something outside the box. And yes, they are using AI to give us “notes”. I feel very lucky to have worked in this medium when it still rewarded real creativity. Sounds about right.
