If the Predator franchise is going to have adorable animal sidekicks, then Stranger Things better have the kids ripping out spines. It’s an equilibrium.

Very excited for the Canadian network exec response to Heated Rivalry’s success being “It’s great, isn’t it? But we can’t do *another* queer story!” and not “Wow! There is clearly a market for queer Canadian stories.”

Neill Blomkamp’s Alien 5, which treated Alien 3 and Resurrection as cryosleep dreams and brought Ripley, Hicks and Newt back on a new adventure.

Nick Drake had such a short life - horrifying stage fright, unrequited love, neurodivergence when there wasn't a word for it yet. Three classic albums, posthumously recognized. And "Black Eyed Dog" (recorded as he came undone) is one of the rawest interpretations of a severe depressive spell.

What I envy about Ron Moore is how thoughtful he is about his process and his willingness to be blunt, but articulate about his creative decision making.
This from a back and forth with a fan upset that Ron offered a counter-perspective to their criticism.

I don't care what anyone says — 70% of comedy is craft, and 30% is POV/believability/charm. A.l. is maximized to be everything to everyone and that's the *exact opposite* of what makes a joke truly funny.

I honestly think that one episode of The Last of Us did more for the acceptance of gay marriage in the USA than any marches or demonstrations did.
