Incredibly, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is on it’s third season and it’s still excellent. Many science fiction shows start out bad. Some, like Star Trek: Picard, are bad for two seasons, then have a good season. Some, start strong, but fizzle out, like The Mandalorian or Stranger Things. The Orville was good for all three seasons, but it wasn’t part of a franchise. That’s easier because there isn’t franchise lore that has to be respected.

Smithsonian: Veteran Pixar Animator’s Newest Book Is an Epic Undertaking
Sanjay Patel is an artist and former Pixar animator who produces Youtube animated videos and illustrated books based on thousands of years of Hindu mythology. That seems like a gold mine of narratives that major studios should investigate.
Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is the second-fastest single-GPU graphics card you can buy, and only because there’s a $1200 Titan Xp offering questionable value out there, too.
That was from an article written in 2017.
When I wanted to try out virtual reality, I bought a gaming computer with that graphics card. At that time, it was almost impossible to buy a graphics card because crypto-currency miners were buying all available graphics cards.
Sparky has been in a mood since we returned from the vet. A malaise or lack of his characteristic joie de vivre. Look at that limp tail. His head should be held up to survey his domain or down in the grass snuffling for grubs or rabbit tracks.
