The Elmdor-Appreciation-Out - Number of practitioners: one.

TV shows have better script writing than movies because films have to condense an entire story into two or three hours. It's not just the action movie when converted to film, The A-team has very good dialog and comedy.

Edit:// you'd think Eldritch horror and Lovecraft are off-topic in a gaming forum, however there are excellent games based on the Cthulhu mythos. Perfect for those that can't be arsed to read a Lovecraft novel and can play in one.

I have played one of the games the fps one but it was impossible to finish due to a game breaking bug. I'm sure the books are good but I'm not into the "horror" genre of books I prefer classic fiction and scifi

IIRC they recast Dukes of Hazard, for just like the third or maybe fourth of like 5-6 seasons, and then reverted to the original cast. And it was fine throughout? If my memory is fine, it's been like 20 years or something.

as long as they're established characters I'm fine with that it's things like what airwolf did with the 4th season that irritate me. rant

Spoiler warning:

in the first episode of the 4th season they just retconned kate they wrote off archangel by putting him on assignment in europe and they killed stringfellow off at the end of the episode without a proper death or send off after they finally found his "older" brother. near the end of the season they added some dialog about Dominic dying they didn't give him a proper send off either.
the episode malduke was left open ended like they were planning on bringing him back the episode itself was the only good one of the season, dick van dyke knows how to act his son doesn't. the final episode was bland

end of rant.

I seen a post yesterday that I felt needed to be shared

Honestly I don't care about Sega bringing back jetset radio. Bomb rush cyberfunk is the spiritual successor to the franchise. Sega and all these other companies seem to have cold feet when it comes to the less top grossing genres that are way overdone (like shooters and whatever else is popular). It's like when mighty no. 9 came out because they weren't doing anything with mega man (am I remembering this right?) These companies don't want to take risks and twiddle their thumbs and wait for other people to take risks. The video game industry makes no sense. It's over saturated- yes. But it is over saturated with the wrong type of games. There's probably other logistical explanations for why things are this way but I'm gonna keep my head down. It's like video game companies forgot they were video game companies.

Yeah I thought I remembered the last bit of Airwolf being messed up.
Actually, back in the day it was one of those shows I maybe watched a handful of episodes... along with other stuff... Blake's 7 I never saw all eps back in the day so never actually appreciated it tbh, but I digress


So when I did watch everything there some years back (Airwolf) I was all like... WTF? Really made me feel like it was a shitty show in the end.

H. P. Lovecraft was a scientist and developed his mythos based on scientífic facts discovered in his time period, Grouch. The setting of Cthulhu story is contemporary to that of the reader and in the present, it does not have to be set in the future to be science fiction. The horror is caused by fictional aliens in a fictional universe, based on scientific cosmology.

hmm well that's a new way to look at scifi.

Think of it in terms of They Live as contemporary science fiction horror, if They Live is remade the setting will be at the time of the film's release and not its future.

Edit - I'm going to really goof the floof today, my daily affirmation every morning. Nobody will ever outdo the goof Lord Xenu floofed but every little floof is worth its goof.

L. Ron Hubbard science fiction on the other hand, not fit for print on toilet paper so he quit his day job and really goofed the floof.

Edit:// speaking of TP, the Eldritch restroom where people take a shit before they take a shit.
