Did any fans complain about the tos to tng redesigns?

Yes.  And they made Enterprise episodes to explain the change. ;)

I think it's a good thing fans in the 80s didn't have social media. :P

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Why do you think they made Laforge blind with a visor on at all times??

So, the last big hit of the Catalan TV is the Turkish adaptation of "This is us". I watched an episode, and it's truly weird.

Can't be as good as Turkish Star Wars or Turkish Spider-Man. Those were classics!

The Green Knight.

I loved it. Weird, beautiful, wonderful score/soundtrack. It also felt convincingly "medieval" to me which is rare.

Dev Patel in particular is terrific (just after his turn in David Copperfield too).

I think the reason Zodiac failed to impress the first time around is it's so inconclusive.  Sort of like Usual Suspects.

What is so unconclusive about Usual Suspects?

It's understandable, though. I think at the time it was made Ted Cruz was just a local politician with no profile.

Because there's no way to know what really happened.

?? What does Ted Cruz have to do with it?  :unsure:

The point I'm tryiing to make is a police procedural about an eventually unsolved case with conflictiing evidence doesn't make for a great movie story.

I think you know the basic outline of it. Soze manipulates the protagonists to get rid of the dude that can recognize him (and then sloppily allows himself to be identified by a survivor, but whatever).
