when Foreign: Earth He appeared for the first time on Holo at first, She praised the show Apparent leap towards exploring larger ideas. Foreign concession has always been driven by ideas, but this idea was always: What if people faced Xenomorph?

After the first show of the series, I thought Foreign: Earth He was ready to address the most complicated and most complicated science fiction ideas, such as the nature of human consciousness and what it means to be alive. I was wrong. This is not what you do at all.

instead of, foreignLand He decided to abandon his entire idea. It is a personal drama, and this is a big problem.

How to foreigner: The Earth revealed itself as a personal drama

The series showed her hand this week when she stopped everything so that we could get to know the marital relationship of the random laboratory technology who were working on Prodigy Corporation in the background. Nobody cares about this man, and we did not need to know this about the conspiracy, but this is what the modern character drama does when they want to make their stories look complicated. They add more characters.

The nature of the exhibition was hidden behind an excellent production design and an exciting musical result, but the signs were present all the time. Foreign: Earth I moved away from a large part of the initial hypothesis and spent increasing time of time developing side letters or adding new letters to interact with those that exist. He became busy building a band.

This methodology has become the virtual way to build a chain in the era of modern entertainment. For this reason, every show began to feel the same.

Skeleton structures for stories

When you boil the narration of the stories to its bones, you are left with two skeletons: depend on letters and based on ideas. Every movie, book, or presentation of his body on one or another, even if he pretends to be something else. The difference is simple: Are you here to see people changing, or are you here to see an idea you play?

The entertainment used to be fully driven. There was an event or preparation, and the characters had to deal with it.

For example, on Colombo Every week, a person is killed, and Colombo must have murder. Peter Falk Colombo made an interesting character (one of the greats at all), but all that we learned about during this offer was a job for the plot in which he participated.

Over time, entertainment became more move to the character, and telling stories became obsessed with things like the hero’s journey and understand how characters have grown and changed. The characters did not only have an arc; This bow has become the focus of the story.

Well -hired He is a sticker child moved by the character. The plot is just some treatment sessions and a mathematical problems solving, which looks like the most boring thing. But he works because he is about a damaged child who is struggling with his self -esteem and his fear of intimate relationship. Take it will come out of the equation and there is no remaining story.

Foreign universe is now

To understand how the first focus works in the context of a chain, look at mad men. The advertising campaigns do not concern. Manhattan horizon does not matter. What matters is chasing without the hollow dreber of identity and meaning. Everything else is just a wallpaper.

This means Thing You are watching Foreign: Earth For, the foreign universe, is just a wallpaper. The wallpaper is used as a background for the book without ideas to try to attract you to emotional investments in their characters. When he runs out of emotions to absorb the character, they will move to another.

It works well for mad menbecause mad men It revolves around Don Driber, not a broader idea. The presentation of a presentation of such a personality is a way to make it around the book instead of the story. It is easier to write and requires less talent, perfect in an environment in which Hollywood has stopped employing the book on the basis of ability.

This is a particularly big problem for displaying in a firm franchise because it means that instead of watching a strange series, We are watching soap opera. The audience is seized on a story that they may never get.

This is what Paramount brought down Halo Series, killing Doctor who is Ratrictions, and they are currently Pay the masses away from Star Trek: strange new worlds. These fans were seized to see an idea, and this idea is Star Trekand Haloand doctorOr foreign. Instead, the persons responsible for these offers gave them personalities as standing in their arrogance.

Unless the new Holo series rapidly runs things, I expect the audience to pick up, get bored, and save it Foreign: Earth.
