Re: Reboots: The Return of Sliders (?), Quantum Leap, and Other Properties (716 replies, posted in Sliders Bboard)
I only watched a few Rockford Files, so I'm no expert, but if they go the route they did with Hawaii Five-0 and Magnum, P.I., they won't attempt a James Garner impersonation. The characters will borrow traits from the original, but the actors involved will have their own interpretations. Other than wearing Hawaiian shirts and a Detroit Tigers cap (and driving a Ferrari), Jay Hernandez's Thomas Magnum did not pretend to be Tom Selleck's. That doesn't mean it will be good, but I can see why they'd want to revive the format, and borrowing an established IP (though, how many in the target demographic remember the original?) is lazy but draws attention.

Oooh, how are you liking For All Mankind? It took me a few episodes to get into it, but I've really enjoyed it.
I like it, some characters more than others. It does stretch the imagination a bit that some of the same astronauts from the 60's are still flying in the 90's (I'm half-way through S3), but it's an interesting experiment in alt-history. Having worked at Kenndy Space Center during the shuttle years, I can't help but roll my eyes at the thought of the space shuttle visiting the moon, but I can overlook a lot these days that I would have railed against back in the day.

Re: Rickman (6 replies, posted in Sliders Bboard)
Did Sliders really need a recurring villain? Particularly if it wasn't going to be allowed to be serialized, what does it do for the show? It's a new world on every slide. Shouldn't there be enough to engage viewers by exploring these different realities and how our cast reacts to each one? Even if it were to become serialized (which didn't help S4 or S5 any), what carries over from episode to episode should be how each of the fab four grows personally and as a group, rather than who follows them around the multiverse. If any recurring villain was needed, maybe just have it be doubles of that villain each time he or she shows up, much like what was intended for Bennish. And, no, I'm not calling Bennish a villain.

Re: Star Trek in Film and TV (and The Orville, too!) (746 replies, posted in Sliders Bboard)
I think there's a real question about SNW and whether the writers really understand TOS or just know the TOS tropes. There's probably a mix on staff, and Nicholas Meyer wasn't a fan of TOS at all, so it's not a requirement for writing good Trek, but this was an episode where I think it bit them a bit. Except in extreme circumstances, TOS Spock was always in control of his emotions, but was never robotic. Sarek, T'Pau, T'Pring also weren't robotic. Going back to Enterprise, Surak, Soval and T'Poll weren't emotional, but weren't robotic. While I though it was clever to have Pike redo his opening credits voiceover as a Vulcan, it's robotic. Ethan Peck's Spock is often robotic, as were Pike and Chapel.
Don't get me wrong. I enjoy the show in general. There are just times when Trek-isms show up on screen rather than Trek. There was a lot of that in the JJ-verse films as well.
Giving the benefit of the doubt, perhaps the crew's over-the-top behavior as Vulcans can be chalked up to the fact that they didn't grow up with the training true Vulcans get. They're initially overwhelmed by Vulcan emotions when they first transform. Perhaps the extreme personality traits are how they manage to keep those emotions in check.

I know they've pitched a spinoff that would basically be Kirk's Enterprise pre-TOS. Rumors are that Skydance is going to let Kurtzman's contract expire, end all the currently running or in-production Trek, and start over in a few years. Who knows if that's true, but it would explain cancelling SNW, cancelling Lower Decks and Academy's rushed 2nd season.
EDIT: and for the record, I though Four and a Half Vulcans was the series worst episode to date.

My feelings on the importance of maintaining canon have changed over the years. It's still important, I think, to honor what has come before, but I don't think it serves to be a slave to it. If you have a great story idea, but some minor part of it would violate canon, have at it. That being said, if you can tell your story without directly violating canon, I think you should.

Did Spock have any romantic entanglements in TOS? Because he seems to be quite the player in SNW hah.
Another shift in tone this week, but I think DMD is right about TOS. Even the other series did a bit of that from time to time. And like I said, no matter what the genre, I think the show does a good job.
I just got back from Trek to Vegas. One of the panels included David Gerrold, the writer for, "The Trouble With Tribbles," among other TOS and TAS episodes (and Sliders' "New Gods for Old"). He discussed how he got submitted the outline for Tribbles, hired by Gene L. Coon to write the episode, and generally his career with Trek. One interesting note was that Gene Roddenberry was away during the development and filming of Tribbles. When Roddenberry returned and saw the finished product, he was livid. He did not want a comedic episode of Trek. Ever. He felt comedy would turn Trek in to a kids show. Coon, obviously, disagreed. It directly led to Coon leaving the series.
So it sounds like Roddenberry wouldn't have been too keen on the shifts in tone, either, even though some shifts were present in TOS.
BTW, Gerrold literally wrote the book on how to write for Star Trek. The Trouble With Tribbles: The Story Behind Star Trek's Most Popular Episode gives the whole story of the episode's development and was cited by several of the writers at the convention as being instrumental in their getting started as writers.

Re: Star Trek in Film and TV (and The Orville, too!) (746 replies, posted in Sliders Bboard)
I haven't seen this week's episode yet, but there was a holodeck of sorts in TAS, so they're not really breaking anything by having one a few years earlier.
As for the swings in tone, TOS had them, too, just not as severe, but watch Balance of Terror (submarine war movie), The Trouble With Tribbles (comedy) and Spectre of the Gun (psychedelic western) and tell me what kind of show it is. I think of SNW as a reaction to DISCO, and maybe an overreaction. SNW was supposed to be episodic, rather then heavily serialized, bright and hopeful rather than dark and grim, and, most of all, fun. It doesn't lean into allegory as much as it probably should to really be a successor to TOS, but I'm happy with it.

I've seen Fantastic Four First Steps. No spoilers ahead.
One review I read described it as being, "aggressively average." I liked it a little better than that, but it wasn't the homerun I'd hoped it would be. Answers came a little too easily. Reed was a bit too whiny. Galactus seemed a bit nerfed. There was at least one sequence that felt genuinely intense, but most were not. The sense of scale seemed off, too, in that things happened offscreen really fast, then really slow. If you can tell me how large Galactus is from watching the film, I'm impressed.
It doesn't sound like it from the above, but I did enjoy the film. I was entertained. I thought it worlds better than, say, The Marvels or The Eternals. Still, I saw it with my son and afterwards he said he liked it, but it made him want to see Superman again.

I think the only problem is that I'm struggling to really identify with this universe or how it's supposed to work. It's hard to know what the Federation looks like or what Starfleet is or how the universe works. Hopefully a new show will sort all that out.
In a way, I think that was the point of the time jump in Discovery. It's still the future of a universe we know, but the writers aren't really required to worry about canon as much because they can now just say, "things changed." Even if characters get their history wrong, how many details do we get wrong today about what happened 1000+ years ago.
Now, do I like such a huge jump? Not really. I think a 100-year jump past TNG (or Picard, I suppose?) would have been sufficient. You have room to maneuver, but there's enough familiar that we're still invested.
FWIW, I like SNW. I like fleshing out Pike and Number One and meeting that crew of the Enterprise. I don't love the dips into retconning the Gorn, the Spock/Chapel relationship, Trelane, etc. There should be enough to explore in this time period without bringing in Kirk, who in TOS said he'd only met Pike once. Still, it's a fun series. It only exists because of the reaction fans had to Pike when he was in Discovery, so I disagree that they could have used this cast for a completely different show. Not because I don't think it would have worked, but because there's no way it would have ever gotten greenlit.

I'm not particularly jazzed about Starfleet Academy, but I was never interested in Dawson's Creek or Felicity, either. And the Academy idea has been around since Star Trek V flopped. VI was going to be an academy film showing Kirk, Spock, etc. all meeting at Starfleet Academy. One idea was for that to be bookended with appearances from Shatner, Nimoy, etc. reprising their roles one last time. None of the original actors wanted to participate in such a project, and the fans revolted, and we go The Undiscovered County instead. They chose wisely.

I saw Superman at a preview showing last night. No spoilers ahead. I really enjoyed it. I've seen early impressions claim that it's silly at points or leans toward the Silver Age tone. I can't say they're 100% wrong, but I think James Gunn gets the character and his relationship to the rest of the human race. Yes, it's a little over-packed with characters, but the non-cameo characters get their moments while the film remains firmly a Superman film.
Watching MAGA heads explode because the film acknowledges that Superman is an immigrant (refugee, really) is a bonus.
I don't know if the DCU as a whole will mesh well once we start getting closer to a Justice League-type film, but I like this better than I liked Creature Commandos.

There's also still occasion word that a fourth and final film with the JJVerse cast is being developed.
Until and unless the Paramount/Skydance merger goes through, I don't expect any kind of release dates or casting on these films.
Oh, and Patrick Stewart has mentioned a script for a final TNG-era film set after Picard S3. I seriously doubt this will happen.

So Strange New Worlds gets renewed for a 5th and final season before the premiere of S3. Season 4 is currently in production. Only 6 episodes for S5. Apparently, 5 years is the new 7 years. This will leave Starfleet Academy as the only Star Trek in production, though supposedly there are still films in the works.

Slider_Quinn21 wrote:
Do TV shows have handfuls of episodes in the can before they air?
I think it depends on the show. Network shows that air in the fall tend to start filming in July or August for a late September or even October start. They tend to catch up to the filming, which is one reason there are breaks between new episodes during the season. If there's a particular set that's needed for an arc, I'd guess all filming on that set is done at once. Common practice now may not match common practice in the 60's (there were 30+ episodes in TOS season 3, and many scripts were written without the writer ever having been able to see an episode) or 90's (22-26 episodes were common). Remember, Sliders S1 and S2 were both supposed to be a single, 22-episode season, but the network stopped production after S1E9 to force changes on the show. No, you couldn't have aired the Flash's season finale before its season premiere, but that also wasn't a goal.
Streaming is a different story. Mid-season replacements also might finish filming before airing. Strange New Worlds S3 finished filming in May, 2024, and still hasn't started airing.
I don't know how far in advance Sliders was filming, but remember, "Summer of Love" was filmed second (if you count both hours of the pilot as single episode), but aired fifth. Not at all uncommon before season-long or even series-long arcs were a thing.

It gives the network the ability to chose which episodes to air during sweeps or other important parts of the year. Star Trek's first aired episode was "The Man Trap," the 5th episode to be filmed (6th if you count "The Cage"). The horrid "Charlie X" was filmed two episodes after "The Man Trap," but aired second. Network execs have long felt they were better at choosing which episodes would be most popular than the people who made the shows. They were wrong about that then and wrong about it now.

I can't imagine a Tormé-led season of Sliders being Kromag-centered. There's an infinite number of Earths (Also an infinite number of Kromag-invaded worlds, eventually, but still fewer that aren't). Maybe they run into them once a season. Maybe even twice. Just as a matter of not wanting to get too repetitious, though, there are too many more interesting ways to go.
It wouldn't fit into the show, but I'd love to see what happens when the Kromags invade an Earth whose timeline forked off from their own. It's not unthinkable that the Kromag Earths would eventually all wipe each other out.

I don't know that they really killed the possibility of a reboot, though. Reboots take many forms. Look at Ron Moore's BSG reboot. It was definitely BSG, but jettisoned several aspects/characters from the original show. I don't see any reason why they'd have to be a part of a reboot, or even a continuation, if one was ever considered.

I like the idea of taking secondary characters and making a team out of them, particularly when it's a group that needs redemption like they do. I'm guessing the immediate downgrading of the "New Avengers" is setting up a situation where Earth has no cohesive set of protectors at the start of Avengers Doomsday. Also, given their background, it shouldn't be a surprise that they wouldn't immediately be embraced as worth successors to Iron Man, Captain America, etc. Sam was asked to assemble a new team of Avengers by President Red Hulk, so I'm also not surprised to see him be a bit put off by having a criminal like de Fontaine pull that out from under him.
I'm looking forward to seeing how they handle Bob/Sentry in the future. My guess is they're going to need him. Also interesting to see how the F4 end up in our universe. That's probably going to be revealed in the F4 Frist Steps, but it doesn't bode well for the fate of their universe if they've left it for ours.

An audience member asked the guests if anyone was involved in any new projects, in which Rhys-Davies said: "If you're a Sliders fan there may be something in the near future..."
He was pretty subtle with it, and who knows what it could be. If there is something, I bet it's a Sliders reboot.
Glancing down the board, I didn't see any mention of it, so there you go. I won't be holding my breath.

I'm not one to defend DC's handling of its films, but it may just be a case where Affleck decided that it was too big a job to star and direct in a film like this. He's done a fine job wearing two hats in other situations, but a Batman film, particularly one that's going to be made in this universe... it's going to be all any director can handle. Or maybe he hates the script and doesn't want to have anything more to do with it than he's contractually obligated to do. Hopefully, that's not the case.

And it's not like she has a huge role as is. I occasionally forget she's still on the show.

When Trump talks about Bill, I would tend to believe him.
I have yet to see any reason to believe Trump when he talks about anything. Ever. It's just as likely he's gotten his information from Alex Jones or an Internet meme as anything else. And he'll deny having said something ten minutes after having said it, even if you play him a recording of it. I have no love for Bill Clinton, but there really is no comparison between him and our fascist in chief.

FWIW, Frequency isn't getting a full season order. Neither is No Tomorrow. I guess it's still possible to get canceled on the CW after all.

OK, so neither has technically been canceled yet, but realistically they're dead shows walking.

Yeah, they haven't exactly been clear about any of that. I don't think they have an answer, to be honest. In the original timeline, Thawne lost his speed and couldn't time travel on his own. I'd forgotten about Thawne mocking Barry in the present, doing it in the past would have made more sense. Still, it's pretty clear that somehow Thawne ended up needing to kill Wells and turn Barry into the Flash the same way it originally occurred, or at least close enough to it.

Is Earth One Wells still alive? Since Thawne never killed Barry's mom and didn't escape, shouldn't Wells still be alive? I know the show is supposedly saying that Seasons 1 and 2 still happened the way we saw (for the most part), but I don't see how that's possible.
Thawne did kill Barry's mom. At the end of the season premiere, Barry took Thawne back to let him Kill his mom. It was the only way to undo the Flashpoint timeline. The timeline we're in unfolded slightly differently than the original, which is why we have Killer Frost and Cisco's brother is dead, but Nora Allen is dead. Presumably, Thawne went on to kill Wells, take his place, and create the accelerator accident.

It's still a thing. Still when advertising rates are influenced. This "November" the dates run from October 27 – November 23. Maybe with all the election coverage, there's been less room for big event programming.

I noticed that the big crossover event begins November 28th. I find it odd that they wouldn't have staged it during November sweeps.

Probably. And I'd have put money on Malfoy turning out to be Alchemy or Savitar on Flash before the latest episode. I suppose that could still be the case, and we're being given a bit of misdirection.

It's their thing. I can't say they really do anything for me or greatly bother me. Occasionally it's interesting to see them change to fit something that's happened on the show because they aren't always static throughout the season, but since they don't really have theme songs, I just go with it.

I'm enjoying it. Therefore, it will end up being cancelled, much like Limitless.

Grant Gustin tweeted out the Flash season 3 opener's title, Flashpoint. No mention of whether it will affect the other series. Also, he mentioned they'd be doing it their own way, not that the Arrow-verse lends itself to a direct adaptation.

My guess is that they'll have Flash in its own timeline to start the season, with the other Arrowverse (and Supergirl) shows unaffected. Maybe that's what the crossover event will handle, reintegrating Flash with the other timeline, and maybe even brining Supergirl into the Arrowverse as well.
