    There is nearly a century of Nebula Award winning science fiction that is in the public domain. Hollywood can’t say, “they’re out of ideas” All they need are screenwriters who aren’t idiots.

      Or maybe pay the screenwriters to do more than a first draft?

      I also used to wonder why writing in TV shows and movies got so bad in the last decade. A lot of things feel like it’s just a first draft level of quality. Some information came out last year that indicated that they were indeed filming things off of a first draft. Because the studios didn’t want to pay writers beyond making a first draft.

      Hopefully that issue has been resolved. Hooray for unions!
