@40:00 - ish.... Startrek nowadays has more optimism ? Sorry, gonna have to disagree. At least from the maybe up to Picard Season 3. A very far cry from the optimism of The Original Series and The Next Generation. Even DS9 which was darker still had some nice optimism. I can't believe I heard it from one of these guys, they seemed pretty down to earth otherwise. Nice pannel, thanks for the upload !

30:06 I have quit reading a story - serial because of what the Author decided would happen to a single character or even to a whole bunch of characters. Look at those books even as "another universe" as the Multiverse gives us readers the opportunity to enjoy some even when we hate the others...
