I'll watch it just for the cast. Stephen Root as Fred is excellent.

I always like to imagine the pitch for ideas like that. "Just picture it! It'll be the talk of every school's playground, office's water cooler, and home's dinner table that week! Works for the whole family!"

Because it defined and represented an approach to Star Trek storytelling that spilled into other series. It was also aggressively rubbish, much like Picard.

I’m watching S3 Picard now and personally I don’t think it’s much better. But if the cancellation is a rebuke of how Star Trek has told its stories for the past half decade - good.

SNW and Lower Decks are much better.

Obviously I’m not wishing ill for the staff and hope they land on their feet.

Yo that cast looks bonkers! Bortles!

>The most awarded movie in cinema history, EEAAOA... did anybody want that?

Exactly. This logic never stops to consider the other side of that. "Who wanted this!?" Yeah, because I'm sure there was a huge demand for a show about a billionaire's kids squabbling over his media empire or one based on the football coach that discussed soccer from NBC Sports commercials or the one about people whose home life can't remember their work life, but those are some of the best shows on television right now.

They really think we would've gotten those if networks were looking for some sort of popular consensus before entering development?

Totally. I'm getting my retro-futurism fix with that right now on ATV+ "Hello Tomorrow!"

Brilliant.

Because if you're multiracial you will most likely look like or be treated like a person of colour. It would be strange to have a white actor play Obama, for example.

if you reboot your computer, you aren't getting a new computer, you are just restarting it

which is exactly what reboot should mean with tv, just restarting a series

...fuck

yes

Jetsons would be cool, that 60s retrofuturism and so on... I know people have this head canon of them being in the sky and the earth being a dead zone beneath. I think that's a bit too much, but I like the idea of other cities being the future as envisioned by other decades. So we have an 80s cyberpunk city, a 30s deco city like Metropolis, a Y2K silver/aqua fluid organic type of city, etc...

Eh, it was a living.

Well, I agree with you about the trope. These threads are always full of 'em though, as if execs green light shows and films from comments...

Whether this turns out to be good or not, if you are a Flintstones fan, you absolutely owe it to yourself to read the DC comic by Steve Pugh!

It's such a truly fantastic retelling of the story and creates a very nuanced and much more interesting Bedrock.

"Who wanted this?" is the dumbest (whatever it's called... trope statement?) that has ever existed.

Are creators supposed to poll everyone before they create? Fuck off

The most awarded movie in cinema history, EEAAOA... did anybody want that?

Elizabeth Banks and Manny Jacinto as the adult pebbles and bambam makes so much sense in a way I really can't explain.

Also, Seth MacFarlane. He's talked about it a lot, and I'm guessing he's sad he's not involved with this

So is this before Bamm bamm and pebbles had a kid?
