Yeah, and of course it depends on what kind of science fiction you are looking for and what you are looking for from science fiction. Also, what can be done on the screen might be a step or two down from what can be done in prose.

In my case, I think Bradbury, Clarke, and Stapledon's timelines had a very expansive and poetic effect on my development. Stories about hig ...[text shortened]... ons of Westworld, which was okay I suppose, but also disappointing, especially in the second season.
Well, hell, no wonder I can't find The Watchmen online.

Watched Picard on Amazon another stab at examining what it is to be human through AI character and a rollicking romp.
Watched Discovery on Netflix which I liked a lot and would really like another series.
The Watchmen was good too and it’s origin story which I thought was total fiction was probably based on the attack on and destruction of that Black business quarter that’s been mentioned during the BLM campaign. Cannot remember what platform I saw it on, it might have been SKY it shows a lot of HBO stuff.

I might give Watchmen a try sometime. It's on HBO over here, which means another $15 subscription fee.

ST: Discovery season 3 is in the works but I don't know the release date. I think Michelle Yeoh might also get her own spin-off series. Of course a lot of productions are on pause because of the virus.

Kind of a sidestep, but I think the team that did "The Order" might have the right mindset to do "Chronicles of Amber" (Zelazny) or "Dancers at the End of Time" (Moorcock).
I read the Chronicles of Amber and I wouldn't do it again.
