Rich and Mike should do a podcast where they talk about TNG. They could do, like, two episodes per week?
They can't even maintain a regular stream of videos, how do we expect them to also squeeze in podcasts. I think if they ever moved to podcasts without getting a dedicated team member to be just the sound engineer/editor, we'll have to sacrifice another video series.Rich and Mike should do a podcast where they talk about TNG.

Yeah it wasn't very clear as we're finding out Romulans have infiltrated Starfleet, they've decided to remove Romulan head ridges so now they look even more like Vulcans and she seems to express emotion. Makes it very unclear.Wait .. she wasn't suppose to be a romulan, I guess I should re watch those episodes.
Only if they make videos making fun of the podcast too.Rich and Mike should do a podcast where they talk about TNG. They could do, like, two episodes per week?
Yeah I like The Orville way more than Discovery or Picard, it actually feels like I'm watching Star Trek when watching it.This might be a controversial take, but everything they bring up makes me remember why I liked watching S1 of the Orville more than the new Trek shows. At least I don't feel like an insane person while most people I know are singing its praises.
Maybe I just like the "We learned something today" stories and feel there should be more of them, but I don't like the direction the new shows are taking at all.
Someone get Alex Kurtzman drunk on Romulan ale, STATIt's either a) Romulans are a race of former Vulcan biosynths, or b) Romulans created the Borg.
They are both the logical conclusions from what we've been presented.
B was my original theory from the introduction of the Zhat-Vash, but am leaning more to A at the moment.

looking at those videos, each one has like 20-40k views. i'm sure he could have gotten that (and probably more) with PreRec.They're fine if you want to see the standard professional game person who breaks down a video game (mechanic). It felt like what he wanted to do all along but couldn't make it work because no one would watch it when it was via PreRec.
These are much easier to do with just him though, and I assume they had greater ambitions since they killed the channel.looking at those videos, each one has like 20-40k views. i'm sure he could have gotten that (and probably more) with PreRec.
Probably for the best. The only worthwhile thing to come out of it was
Mike(?) repying to Rick Berman on twitter. Spoilers for Picard.
I'm glad Mike said it, because that was my quitting point on the show.

Honestly? I'd guess Wheel of Misfortune is not quite as catchy of a name as 'Wheel of the Worst'. Maybe they also genuinely prefer spinning it vertically as it's easier to showcase the spinning and films.

One of the other things that was apparently great about George Lucas as a leader was his own personal commitment. The Clone Wars cartoon apparently lost money in the first couple of seasons, and others would have cancelled the show. George said "I don't care if it loses money" and signed some more checks. Everyone's pay came out of his pocket. He's got a ton of money. He liked the show. So no, the show's not cancelled.George Lucas without full creative control but able to bounce his ideas around with a group of people willing to say no is the best timeline we can hope for. The insistence in keeping him away got us well, all of the recent movies. Letting him come back but just work as an advisor or person bouncing ideas around would be great.
the book is good so far (almost done with the first one!) but the show is... not the best?
i don't like the changes, and even if i hadnt read the book im not sure I'd like the show

I'm not sure if any of y'all fuck with the expanse but I started the books and the show (maybe I'll just make a lttp thread, probably the 20th one about the expanse)

there's a lot of tnt knows drama with people just yelling and fighting that wasn't there and im not a huge fan. seems useless and dumb just to make things "exciting"
i do remember people saying it gets better about both the books and the show though
im glad thomas jane is getting work though
From what I've seen/heard with the previous wheels is that they had to do second takes with cameras close-up on the selected tapes. So they had to reposition the cameras each time for that. For the Wheel of Misfortune they had to place a camera above it for those shots.
I'll probably just put a hold on the show then until I read up some. Thanks for the advice.Don't do both at the same time. Read all the books first, then go back to the show and allow it to be its own thing. And yeah, it improves as the show goes on.
For me, book Amos is different than show Amos, but they are both great.
I only said it because I was thinking of one particular partI haven't read the books but honestly the expanse TV shows stands on its own two feet fairly well. Yeah in all likelyhood like it's normally the case the source is going to be superior.
Maybe all my qualms are ironed out later! We'll find out!I still loved it but yeah Season 1 is a bit rough. If you're liking the books better then you'll be happy to know that the writers of the books are much more involved in the later seasons. They've talked before about how they didn't have the influence to get things the way they wanted them. Definitely make it to season 2. Season 2 is fantastic.

where after the cant is destroyed, theyre on the knight
in the book they just cruise off and get on the big mars ship, thats it nothing super exciting happens, theres some mild arguing about chasing and broadcasting but its mostly the main guy realizing he's being emotional and listening to his second in command after she disagrees
in the tv show its a whole episode where something gets broken and we have to yell and push and fight and oh no we're gonna run out of air now race against time! its just made up drama for dramas sake, to make the episode more "exciting". has very little to do with the plot (im assuming maybe it comes back!)
same with episode 3 where in the book they're even suprised how nicely they're treated but on the show there has to be yelling and in fighting and now we're pitting you all against each other. can you feel the drama happening?
yeah im trying to give it a chance but im just cynical about it i guess. hopefully i come around and stop acting like a dweeb just because i read the book barely ahead of where i am on the showI think some of that is, since it's the same writers writing the show, that having written more of the series by that point, they recontextualized a lot of what they previously wrote.
such as...
how the martians treat them as paranoidly as they do, they might not have fully fleshed out the martian militaristic ethos at that point.
Also the second episode stuff makes more sense then that rickety ship not being affected by debris/shockwave of the Cant.
