in s3 shit’s hit the fan - the earlier light & triumphant sounding intro has been updated with this much darker version.

Andreas Katsulas (fka fan fave cmdr tomalak on TNG) consistently shines with fantastic performances playing a tragic alien ambassador of a subjugated race fighting for liberty.

i’ve been watching through Babylon 5 lately and it’s been great. i’m constantly pleased with how far it will go in ways many other sci-fi shows didn’t really have the courage to do up to this era.

a lot of themes in this show are very relevant to current events…

they also nailed the key character elements and premise of what makes a good Superman story. Best Lois ever portrayed.

I think it smart to shift into a very sci-fi and clearly fantastical world build. super hero movies have tried too hard for years to be “realistic” or “gritty” to increase buying. I think just letting go and going with this being a “comic book” world does wonders.

How profoundly will AI change your job?

Well ask yourself what I'd have done if a time traveler had found me in Journalism school pre-internet and said that a skibidi algo was going to unalive most of the industry & that I should instead focus on rizz and bussin 3-second hooks
