    I love it when they try to take risks and do something new or different with the IP. Even if it fails, the end result is still usually more interesting than a safe retread would have been. Disco isn’t my favorite Star Trek, but it is one of the most interesting entries in the franchise, and has done a lot to expand and solidify the 23rd century canon.

    People forget how controversial the Battlestar Galactica reboot was. Same goes for Daniel Craig’s James Bond. Simply being different from the source material is not enough to make it bad. Discovery isn’t as good as either of these, but i’m glad it tried.




  • Even if you don’t like Visual Studio specifically, you probably still use some kind of IDE rather than a plain text editor plus command line tools. Even basic things like syntax highlighting are tremendously useful features that significantly reduce cognitive load.

    One use case I can think of for soemthing like Studio Binder is their scriptwriting tools. You can do that all in a word processor, and there are probably even good templates for it. But presumably Studio Binder’s script editor is built to ensure all your formatting adhere’s to existing industry standards. It probably has a custom spell checker to enforce some of this. I also wouldn’t be surprised if it has built in functionality for tying scenes to a shot list, tracking locations and props as they are introduced, etc. I don’t know if they actually do these things, but they are features I would likely build into such software based on my own experience that regular word processors and project planners don’t really do.
