Revolutionary industry developments in the geek sphere.
Streaming Services
Streaming services have changed a lot about how television is both made and consumed. From shorter seasons, to harder renewals, streaming has its pros and cons. And though I still firmly believe that writers have more creative freedom and story quality is better overall with streaming services there are several things about the streaming model that need to be changed in order for working conditions for creatives to improve AND for consumer experience to be better. We are in an era where streaming services are struggling, they are bundling across owners and basically setting us back to cable anyway.

Shot of the Movie (Series)
Is it possible to capture everything that's good about a movie in a single shot? Here's how I see it. I argue some shots are so good, they can stay with you longer than the movie, itself. They're powerful, plot-altering, and impressive, not always in their scale, but sometimes in their subtlety. And they change us, not only by giving us something to talk about well after the credits roll but also for their implications for what they have to offer for film and movies, themselves.
