The cops have only themselves to blame.  They deservedly lost the trust of the public through corruption, incompetence, and a culture of unaccountability.

ICarly and X-Files were far more successful on their first run and had revivals much sooner after their original airing.  ICarly was reborn less than a decade after it left the air and Nickelodeon reran it often during those years.

I didn't know Miller was like that.  It's hard to keep up these days.

I see that I misunderstood the question.  I tried to put the concept of porn into a Sliders context when you were looking for the reverse.

The Fire Within

It's ridiculous but I still dig it

Star Wars isn't set in our future (or any future) so it's just a matter of technology progressing differently in that distant galaxy.

It's easy to forgive Roddenberry for undershooting.  The best minds of the 60's envisioned a computer powerful enough to manage the moon landing that could fit in a single room.  The notion that the average person would be carrying one that powerful around in their pocket every day would have seemed ludicrous to even the most optimistic futurist.

Almost all the streaming services are struggling.  The main exception is Hulu, which is largely ad-supported.

Trump didn't have a filibuster-proof majority in Congress.

Biden bears much of the blame for the Democrats poor performance in the 2020 Congressional elections.  His less than vigorous campaign schedule meant he wasn't out stumping for down-ticket races.

Maybe that's why they always stayed at the same hotel.  It was the only one they could get into without ID or credit/debit.

She is never seen or mentioned again in the show

Pretty sure it's the Democrats who don't want to require voter ID, as such requirements tend to discriminate against minorities and the poor

Many of the reboots have at least some of the old cast.  The Sex And The City reboot has most the stars of the original.  Dexter: New Blood has Michal C Hall.  Cobra Kai has Ralph Macchio.  Gossip Girl, Saved By The Bell, Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, ICarly, and more have returning cast members from their age-old source material.

JOC isn't too old to lead a network TV show.  He's younger than Queen Latifah, who's headlining The Equalizer.  He's younger than Shemar Moore, the lead in S.W.A.T.  He's 10 years younger than Rob Lowe, star of 9-1-1: Lone Star.  There are plenty of other examples.

She's still slated to star in "Tower of Terror" for Disney.

I finished the first season and the first episode of the second.  I'm a little hesitant to proceed, as the over-glorification of the 60's and making the Kennedy assassination the lynchpin of all history are tropes I despise.

I found the lack of cell phones in 2019 in season one to be distracting.  I realize the whole plot would have ended by the third episode if the characters had them, but that's an indictment of the writers rather than the technology.

Disney announces the rest of its 2021 movies will debut exclusively in theaters

They want death to matter so much that they brought back every character Thanos had killed for the final fight in Endgame.

I watched the first part of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE: REVELATION.  The second part is complete and expected before the end of the year.  Each part is five episodes.

By the power of Grayskull, there will be SPOILERS

I really liked it.  Killing off He-Man and Skeletor in the first episode and making Teela the protagonist in the quest to restore magic to Eternia was an inspired choice.  Skeletor's lameness as the primary villain was always a weak point of the show and comics.  Of course they both come back in episode five, with Skeletor finally revealing his motivation for constantly attacking He-Man and Castle Grayskull.  I applaud the show for finding something that makes Skeletor even more unlikeable and pitiful than he already was.  The second half will undoubtedly shove Teela, Andra, and Evil-Lyn back to the background to placate the fanboys and will be the worse for it.

In Discovery's case it bogs down the pace of the show.  It'll be moving along then one of those scenes will grind it all to a halt.

Just finished Season 3 of Discovery.  Huge improvement over the first two!  There's still too much of Burnham's oppressive voice overs talking about her feelings and too many scenes of the crew bonding & encouraging each other & mourning their losses.  Unlike TNG, this crew actually needs a therapist.  The season improves as it goes along and gets away from some of that.  When we get to the end of the season it starts to make more sense why the series has been centered on Burnham.  It's been building to...

SPOILER!

...her becoming captain.  We've seen the false starts, set backs, and inspired actions that got her to this point.  That's very different from the already experienced captains we've seen in other Trek shows.  It actually makes me want to rewatch the first two seasons.

It's natural for fans of the show to want a follow up to The Seer.  People want closure.  I suspect the vast majority would get on board with a reboot, especially if Jerry and/or the other Sliders are involved.

Blockchain tech is interesting, but its greatest value will ultimately come in other kinds of software

I doubt Rembrandt (or the writers) put as much thought into the nickname as y'all have

I thought Calvin Ellis was a black Kal-el

I got vaccinated early since I am a live-in caretaker for my elderly mother.

Black Widow is delayed again

He should be disinterested in how sliding works.  We all should be.  As long as it works consistently, the technobabble explanations aren't important.  Star Trek got annoyingly tech-y in TNG and Voyager.  I suspect most fans would have been fine without ever hearing about multi-modal reflection sorting as long as the answer to "Can we beam through the shields?" was the same week to week.

It would be very easy to set up a situation for it to be just Quinn leading a new batch of sliders if Jerry is the only one to commit.

A couple of grad students are experimenting with wormholes, not 100% sure what they've stumbled on to.  They've been sending "probes", basically just radio controlled vehicles with cameras and microphones attached, then retrieving them a few minutes later.  So far everything that's been recorded has been very ordinary.  A beach, a forest, a park, a basement, etc.  They believe these are images of alternate universes but it's all so mundane it doesn't prove anything.  Then, while trying to bring back one probe they get an anomalous reading from the tunnel.  They assume an animal must have gotten into the wormhole with the probe.  Not knowing what effect sliding would have on a living creature or whether they might be bringing something too dangerous for them to handle they try to shut it down before whatever it is appears.  Just before the wormhole closes a man in his mid 40's comes tumbling out.  It's Quinn Mallory!  But, he's lost his memory of the last X years (we know it was the New Gods For Old nanoprobes, but he doesn't) but he remembers traveling with the original group and goes sliding to find them, accompanied by the students and the accidental addition of a random passerby.

His memory can be cut off at The Guardian, or any other point along the way as needed.  It doesn't even need to be explained to the audience as long as it's made clear it is not a side effect of sliding.  If Maggie is being used he can remember through Roads Taken and the repeat of the accidental passerby can be skipped.  If Diana is being used he can remember through New Gods For Old.
