Re: Will Halo last until 2037?

In Response To: Re: Will Halo last until 2037? (thebruce0)

: Star Wars and Star Trek were that narrative rich.

And this is what I didn't get around to addressing in my rant below.

Star Trek is not narrative-rich. It had a formula that worked well, because television was still in its infancy. Later series had the choice to strike out to something new, something better, or keep regurgitating the same format.

There's a few parts in TNG where you see them realize this and try something new. Then Voyager and Enterprise did their absolute best to ignore this epiphany and capitalize on a fanbase that's terrified of change.

: So I'd say Halo is closer to Star Wars and Star Trek than the others,
: although Star Trek's getting its first 'reboot' now as well. :P

Not a reboot, just a desperate attempt to repackage a stale formula.
