    Imprinting on media

    I loved Tom Cruise in the first Jack Reacher movie. They did not have the sense to leave it alone and made a really bad sequel.

    Imprinting on media

    That makes sense. My friend has a 15 year and 12 year old that he watched the movies with. They loved the prequels all the kiddy bits and what not. He is currently re-watching them with his son (12) and noticed he is changing some of his opinions on which ones he likes best. Moving from prequel...

    Interesting. You seemed to like them at the time, or at least the buzz got you going. What was it that put you over?

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    DS9 might have been lightning in a bottle. They got so many seasons and so many episodes that we are discussing a character like Jake Sisko (which would be a toss away on any other show.) Though, its more than just quantity of a 24 episode season show that ran 7 years. Plenty of shows ran on 24...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    It appears you are skipping a mountain of development for the Bashir character and simplifying it down to a single story line. All I can say is going from the pilot where Bashir annoys Kira about "living on the frontier" to Julian appealing to his youthful naivete to which Garrack informs him is...

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    Yeap, I think thats the issue with Jake, He has motivations, but his agency always seems kneecapped. Sometimes by his father's overwhelming shadow, sometimes by mystic muse magic, sometimes by time travel shenanigans, etc.. Eventually, the series time ran out before Jake could really develop.

    Imprinting on media

    I've noticed a few things on this outside of imprinting about music. Some musicians just never adapt, and some others try, but are not really able to do it. The 80's turnover for instance, changed a lot of classic rock bands and not for the better. I think many producers tried to sell these...

    I think that sets up why Jake has to do the severing, and why its so hard for Ben to live through. Even if Jake never fully matures we get a vision of what that might look like for him in The Visitor.

    Imprinting on media

    Age wise? For a lot of folks im sure it does. There has been music studies about folks who stop building their taste around 20 years old and then thats it for the rest of their life. These types of folks look for a specific execution and if its lacking will be an impossible sell. I agree with...

    Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

    I’ve been letting it build up content and have a three month trial from my company so it’s coming. Slow Horses is what’s really calling to me.

    Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

    I’m still with HBO (it was never Max to me), and Prime (though I’d dump it in an instant if not for shipping), and Netflix (was on the bubble but interesting enough it’s the syndicated offerings keeping me) Soon I’ll sub up for NFL and maybe peacock if they do another football season deal. I...
