Until the alternative beats you... life is like tetris, it keeps getting faster and harder until you die

Writing. Making stuff is pretty great.

The ones where people would post one topic, then change the O.P. to recontextualize everyone's responses after a bunch had built up.... -
I have paired this reunion bit with a rewatching of G.I.T.S.

For the sake of argument, I present the series: Dragonball. Everyone knows it went on for too long, and quality suffered proportional to the dragging it out as a result. Infinite sandbox settings are great for milking your audience, not good storytelling, generally. Dr. Who doesn't know when to end, it should have been a long time ago. It can be argued that a visceral fanbase can justify this behavior, but I feel this is only the case when the writers world building and writing skills enable the quality of the story to persist through the entirety of the arcs. Case and point: One Piece. It keeps going and isn't dropping off in quality because it was designed to go on that way, and this was done very well. I feel Dr Who's writers were more in the milking it category... If I were to dip into it, I'd do a stand alone movie that isn't cannon with the show and summarizes everything eloquently while leaving some of the dumber stuff out, but it's not worth it because Dr. Who is already too strung out and cheesy.... Dr Who is a sad piece of smelly string cheese abandoned many days ago by some long gone giddy school kid on vacation being pecked at by buzzards. -
Like, one. Is Zintar still around?

Neither franchise is a bad concept; I just feel they were poorly executed. -

You're all crazy. I want the crust to be made of blue cheese...

No, but I am that under-caffeinated.

eehhhh.... I could write myself, manually.... Already working on another project, though >,> -
At this point, what's a couple of years? 3, 4 years, who cares, we're basically 40. It's all over

I feel like this needs a gofundme page, or something. -

Hard to argue with nostalgia. I'd like to see a different story in a different universe with a similar (nostalgic scifi) setting but written so it all makes sense.... -

Good films suspend disbelief on your behalf. Case and point: Lord of the Rings -

The thought process was cheap, which cheapens the volume of money spent on it.... There's no way humans could power those robots without food that got energy from the sun. Everyone would have died in a generation or two. -
No, no. ... NO

The one from 1995 that the Matrix is a cheap rip-off of? Yes. It is indeed. Better than any iteration of the show, imo. -
After the way I dropped out of high school, there was little choice in the matter.
