[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 7581109, member: 22779"] The problem is, "that certain feel" is far more in the mind of the fan than in anything real in the show. You can point to all sorts of elements that aren't part of the "feel", but, apparently, we're not supposed to look at those things. We're only supposed to like the same things and we're all supposed to keep liking the same things so the franchise can keep pumping out the same thing over and over and over again so it doesn't lose the old "fans". Good grief. Look, I'm a HUGE theater fan. Love it to pieces. I've seen Romeo and Juliet done a dozen different ways from traditional all the way to street theater featuring classic hot rods instead of swords. The idea that we have to keep doing the same thing over and over and over just so we can please the "old guard" is baffling to me. You mentioned The Expanse. Fantastic show. But, let's not forget, we're only three seasons in. Now, imagine the Expanse universe has hundreds of hours of shows under its belt. (heh, no pun intended) Do you really want to keep watching an Expanse that is STILL dealing with the same politics as in Season 1? It's like those American dramas that just keep going and going and going, like the X Files. They can never actually resolve anything because that would mean that the show would actually have to do something new. No thanks. I have zero interest in those kinds of shows anymore. Gimme solid, self contained stories any day of the week. [/QUOTE]
