    Yep. I know those very well. 4 and 6 in particular solve 90% of all problems found in mediocre novels.

    @Jolly said in Content & Costs: Wish I had money, I'd bankroll you to do a pilot. I'd so do it. Awhile back, I was going into the coffee shop here, rounded the corner from where I locked my bike, and saw a shitload of people with lights and tripods up. A guy with a clipboard held his hands up to me, begging me to not go any further. There was this dude I see in the mornings sometimes, he was sitting on a bench just a few feet away. I slid over and asked him what the hell was going on. A friend of his was doing an indie movie—a period piece about the 20s. He recommended they shoot part of it at the antique store because the entrance has cobblestones and a seriously old front door. I just sat there. It was a hell of a lot of fun watching them.

    @LuFins-Dad said in AppleTV: Watching the first episode of “For All Mankind” right now. Does the show get better? Yes it does. A lot better. Once you accept the alternate history timeline, there's a lot of fun stuff that makes it a fun watch. It has the obligate "woke-y" stuff, because it's Apple TV. Yeah, drug use, gay stuff, etc. At times it gets soapy too. This isn't history, so don't try to take it as such. It's science fiction, and as it progresses, it gets more sci-fi. The Corvette stuff is based on history, by the way.
