Well, this was a short-lived but dizzying emotional roller coaster!

Time for a new studio head!

Right!?

I do not know what their current obsession is with live-action right now, but it needs to fuck off.

Isnt that how they renew the copyright without having to come up with new content?

Re: Seriously?

[movingfinger]

In a nutshell, yes.

[adafrog]

WTF live action?

[bibliofile]

Alas.

[sabotabby]

LOL what why

[profiterole_reads]

I don't even mind the live-action part that much, but it will never last long enough to reach the Puck part. Ah, Puck, my beloved! <3 Also, I ship Xanatos/Puck.

[conuly]

Everybody ships them, apparently, though if you ask me that ship works best unrequited. What can I say, I like to see them suffer.

[profiterole_reads]

That's fine too. XD

[malada]

Agreed. Live action? No.

The original was interesting and fun. I think the live action would just... no. Flop.

[jack]

On the one hand, I don't OBJECT to live action conversions, but I don't think they're any more likely to be better either.

On the other hand, where are they going to find gargoyle actors??

[silveradept]

This seems less like a good idea the more I think about it. Also, who are they going to cast in the roles? Lower Decks? Discovery? Strange New Worlds?

[conuly]

Whereas if it's an animated show, it can continue to be a TNG reunion tour.

[silveradept]

I'll bet the TNG cast would have a good time doing those roles again, if given the opportunity to do so.
