I still can't stop but think how stretched out the Hobbit films were, for an otherwise short book. That's a sin that stains forever with me. The Lord of the Rings films, do have their own flaws, but they're fairly contained and can be debated as to whether they were good or not. I have so much trouble excusing anything with the Hobbit though.

And I hope we never, ever see anyone tackle The Silmarillion. Simply because, there will be so much improvised fluff in that would-be film, that it'd make the Hobbit films blush.

Anything star trek after ST:Enterprise

The movies were all dumbed down pew pew flare flare versions of previous star trek movies, the series were horrendously dumb and badly written, in a show that is about the stories, ethics, morale, etc.

It was awful and the only shining light was the series "The Orville" by Seth McFarlane who is a huge star trek fan and it shows.

    People really need to start getting more brave with fresh new IPs. As much as I'd love to see old favourites rebooted/renewed you can tell when there's too many cooks in the kitchen and they ruin a good thing that's already reached a conclusion; good or not.

    The foundation series is tough. It is simultaneously one of the absolutely least faithful and most disrespectful adaptations of science fiction literature of all time, and a really good show. I wish I could watch it without the lens of the books buuuut I can't.

    Do you think people would have enjoyed the TV show as much though with all the cast changes that would have been required?

    I haven't read the books, but my understanding is that was why, so they could have recurring characters and some continuity.

    Edit: and once you do that... well all sorts of shit changes.
