And judging from the newly released trailer from BBC America, I think that [...] We hear it all the time, that TV over the Internet will destroy cable, satellite, and broadcast networks.

The plot builds, we get excited about learning more, and then it happens. Our hero’s cell phone [...] World building in science fiction is a big deal. People study for years to learn how to do it well. It’s the key to capturing your audience and creating a stage where you can present your story with some semblance of continuity and believability. It all has to work and work together to transport the audience [...] One of my biggest pet peeves about many TV series is the lack of character development from season to season.
