it's also done a lot to revive the franchise. frankly, if it hadn't been for the new series, the franchise would have died very shortly.

A steady WOEICS reboot would have been fine. A "prequel" in this manner to try to reboot the fandom...? Contemplative. It has its ups and downs.
Victorique
He/They
Steady as in well written, well animated, with steadily scheduled release dates

and based on my observations of hmh's promo material, their various wikipedia pages, and something my student was told at her internship interview, i believe control of the franchise was moved from the software department to the book and general licensing departments, which clearly have a far better grasp on reality / how not to heck up a good thing. which is an absolute delight after the software department's reign of terror, which only ran the franchise further into the ground.

(incidentally, her interview went extremely well, but they want someone 9-5, four days a week, which she obviously can't do since she's a full-time student! seems a bit ridiculous to have that as an "internship" imo, but hey, what do i know, i only work in higher ed. so moral of the story: she's not going to get to work on carmen and i won't have anyone i can get to ingratiate me with someone at hmh and/or get me freebies. sad reacts only.)

i mean, yeah. like, i really don't like the current tomb raider reboot, because even though they're good games/a good movie, it's not MY lara. but then, that's because they removed what i liked about original/first reboot lara, whereas cs2019 didn't take away most of what i loved about the franchise to date. so i'm more willing (and excited) to accept it.Victorique said:

Agreed.

by which i mean to say that although there are always going to be pros and cons to any reboot, to me neither the relative pros nor the relative cons of this particular reboot are especially strong. so i end up evaluating it on its own merits, and i like it. though i think it is rather vapid at times - all the fight sequences...
Eugene

But if the show wanted to be judged on its own merits, it wouldn't be billed as a reboot.

((So... more on the soap opera that is my life now... "Day after folks got served, Kat told Bruce, Kathy, amber, crystal that she got the Hines' and Brandt in trouble. Kat also said she was going to clean out the 9th floor. Bruce let Hines know about it " That was told to me by ma a couple hours ago... I don't really care who knows my last name. I'm not one to drag into something, I tend to destroy everything.))

L (Guest) Lucy2:Hey @Tenchi Masaki btw I did save my password after my last bout of computer trouble. This time however I saved the wrong password so. As for Jon Eckart, I DO use Chrome browser the problem is when we I get on another computer the passwords aren't stored. That's my current problem. So I'm either gonna make a new account or figure something out 'cause I'm not bothering boss man

((So... latest is... Google Drive: Sign-in <-- the appeal hearing (they didn't know I was recording) (I'll run it through some filters and see if I can clean it up) They/we have a tour of a potential place Thrusday at 1PM-ish like a block away... but there's no laundry (far as I know)... you can find it, 512 1/2 St. Germain St., St. Cloud Little tidbits... I brought up that if they're going after the folks, what about the (roughly) half of the rest of the bulding who all smoke in the building. ))

Jon Eckart:
((They're still packing and we're still planning things. If it goes bad way, we're planning for what to send down to my place (the paintings and the movie collection and stuff, not to mention the rest of the records). They have to wait up to 10 days to see what the "appeal officer" says... but they might have something being that they were never caught smoking, it was just that there was smoke smelled near their door ))

((So... this is the place.. 512 1/2 W Saint Germain St #1, St. Cloud, MN 56301 2 Bedroom Apartment for $650/month - Zumper. You have to go through both bedrooms to get to the bathroom. Moving stuff in is gonna be a struggle (wall outside main door is like a 60-degree angle)... big desk (mine), big entertainment center (the folks), "things" are gonna be weird (no privacy). The folks want it (gas stove in an apartment, claw-foot bathtub)... not all of our stuff comes apart nicely))

((IRL: @Lucy2... You may have to just start a new account (if the system lets you)... we don't know who all has admin access, so 'password recover emails' might not get seen or dealt with. If you do, I'd suggest a new account, and a series of posts linking to the old account. Keep in mind, we're in Minnesota, so cold is a thing... if you wanna trade, we're open to place tickets! We can't really do anything until we hear from the appeal guy... anytime between the 19th and December 5th, so in theory move-out could be end of December (unless it gets here before the end of this month) or maybe they can stay... no idea. So, the other place door... that's what we'd have to fit everything through.))
