The final three episodes have titles now

Warner Brothers Discovery looking to split the company in two, with one half being the studios and their streaming services (HBO/Max), and the other half their cable and broadcast assets. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/warner-bros-discovery-cable-spinoff-like-nbcu-versant-1236210976/ https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/warner-bros-discovery-misses-revenue-estimates-box-office-weakness-2025-05-08/

I could add "no spoilers" to the thread title, but it's getting long in the tooth already so someone just start a new thread for spoilers? Also, a mod could prune the spoilers from the last few pages and add to the spoiler thread. This thread was originally really meant to talk about what Sanderson is doing business wise, regardless, since he is trying to create a new model of what it takes to be a successful writer, category of population 1. But that topic seems to be tapped out.

It's funny season 2 is typically ranked as part of the better half of the series -- relatively speaking. I doubt you'll find going through any of it worth it. The first three seasons seemed to be ranked the top 3 or 4, with season 6 thrown in there as well but not really due to the characters, but for the premise rather than the writing. The new Foundation showrunner is Ian Goldberg, he only ran FTWD for seasons 4 to 8, when the rot amplifies. He can't convey a motivation to save his life. The plot just happens, man. I dropped it after the first episode of season 7. Didn't bother with season 8.

Babylon 5 and other JMS Projects
SpaceChampion replied to The Dragon Demands's topic in Entertainment
ha, you beat me to it. Here's the bluesky link if anyone wants to avoid fb. https://bsky.app/profile/straczynski.bsky.social/post/3lofymgclq226 Some people think the move means the B5 rebootening is definitely dead, but I remain eternally optimistic. Particularly because he's splitting time, and there's no reason he couldn't produce it in London. Right time to escape fascist America. -

It was inspired by Hardhome, actually, as well as the battle in Watchers of the Wall. https://www.cbr.com/tlou-copies-game-of-thrones-battle-for-the-wall/

Dedra and Syril should get their own series, and become Star Wars' first sitcom. It would have to be in the cringe comedy style of The Office, Atlanta, and Parks & Rec. Call it: That's My Empire!

It's interesting Australia had about the same number of people voting but have mandatory voting so it's 98.2% of eligible voters compared to our 65-ish. Also, they have an elected Senate. I rather eliminate the Senate here. Don't want to invite U.S. style gridlock into Canada. And do NOT want to give Alberta any more power.

The costed out plan here: https://liberal.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/292/2025/04/Canada_Strong_-_Fiscal_and_Costing_Plan.pdf Interesting that it says they'll be establishing an IVF program. Without immigration, which it seems everybody wants to slow down, the would be a huge population decline as Boomer die, infertility rises and more people just choosing not to have children. The government must have been worrying about this for a while.

The Liberal platform ought to give a pretty good idea on what he'll do. https://liberal.ca/cstrong/costing/ In terms of tax cuts, i can't find a lot of specifics. https://globalnews.ca/news/11154629/canada-election-mark-carney-consumer-promises/ 1% lower income taxes for lowest tax bracket. Not increasing capital gains tax. Removing GST on renovations and new homes for first time buyers. Easier accessibility for some for employment insurance. Lots of spending on infrastructure, housing, science, etc. The trade war and American insanity leading to a 2nd Great Depression will overwhelm all of this in effects.
