Kinnaman nailed the roll. season 2 had so many problems that I don't think it's fair to put the blame on Mackie.

I think it's more a problem with the new showrunner being bad at their job. The show in season 2 didn't know what tone to go for or how to structure scene.

My wife was flying into Regan last Monday and they had to abort the first landing because there was still a plane on the runway.

It took four years to make and he got a noticeable bump in money near the end of production. That's why the aliens look like aliens at the end.

There is another big time gap in filming during a car chase scene. The car gains and losses a louver during the chase and the driver has put on a lot of muscle by the end.

I think the scene where he uses the chainsaw to enter the building is one of my favorites in any movie.

This is getting into semantics but I try to treat people decently until they lose the right to that through actions. You have to earn respect.

Respect is earned not entitled.

And I'm from the other end where I came from Morrowind and couldn't get into Oblivion because it was so generic compared to the earlier game. Monsters leveling to the character made it so safe.

I remember when the monster that was spawning everywhere changed type I knew I had leveled up.

Ah yes. Land Skyranger, open door, sectoid throws grenade into Skyranger. Evac with one survivor. Good times.

There is a lot of truth to this old commercial. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y5DpaCvoCn0

I cut my teeth on Space Quest 1 and Kings Quest 3. Not only was the very spefic vocabulary a pain but so many solutions were a dead end trap.

I remember in Space Quest if you typed use [item] it would give you a message about not being a simple 2 word game and tell you to say use [item] on [thing]. It required that format.

Then halfway through the game the solution to one puzzle is use glass. Not use glass on laser. I has figured out the puzzle right away but it took me days to get the right wording.

Those games have not aged well.

The constant changes were what made me decide it was a bad game. One of the reasons I bought it was the different FTL types. Between that the consent planet management changes I couldn't enjoy the game. add the stupid war score system and I've learned to stay away from Paradox.

I enjoyed the space adventure parts but every time they broke out the stones I lost interest.

I also liked the show. However your comment about " [it] was really starting to go somewhere by the end of the season" is a good example of why it didn't get another season.
