			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>And while it was really good in season one, I think every season since then has flopped. I think Season two was the low point.</p>
<p>Why did it fail?</p>
<p>It failed because it never lived up to the single scene where &#8220;Future Hiro&#8221; met with Peter in the subway. This single scene set up so much of what could have been great about the show, and instead they turned Hiro into a clown, and Peter into a limited power moron.</p>
<p>TV needs to start accepting shows with specifically limited runs so they can cut out all the crap and just have episodes of excellent. Notice how Lost got good again when they set the end date. Dollhouse, for is spectacularly bad beginning, became brilliant when they stopped doing the &#8220;story of the week&#8221; and focused on the downfall of the tech and corporation.</p>
<p>TV executives need to find people with brilliant ideas, give them a show that will ONLY last 1-2 seasons, but give them the ability to make more than one series. The audience will follow great storytelling, even if it&#8217;s not the same characters.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I talked with friend of mine who&#8217;s on the fence about the tax incentives issue.</p>
<p>Based on his info, I still believe that you can&#8217;t &#8220;remove&#8221; the incentives, but the current system as it was written is crap. People seem to think that Public Enemies, (oooh Johnny Depp) filmed here because they wanted the incentives. They wanted specific locations and had decided to film in Wisconsin, tax breaks or not. </p>
<p>The jobs created were not &#8220;hard&#8221; film jobs, but &#8220;soft&#8221; jobs not created but still counted as people working in hotels and restaurants serving the production. If you re-write the bill to work the correct way, you don&#8217;t force them to create permanent jobs (ain&#8217;t gonna happen. Paramount isn&#8217;t creating a new studio in Wisconsin just so they can film one movie&#8230; (or even 5 movies)), you force them to hire local crew in KEY positions. Hiring local PAs isn&#8217;t hiring KEY crew. Anyone who can use a broom can be a PA successfully. Use the skilled labor that exists here instead of flying them in from LA.</p>

<p>A better way to describe this would be &#8220;High member interest&#8221;, since even if there are a lot of people interested in the movie, it&#8217;s a luck of the draw for who gets it first.</p>
<p>Or is there a hidden queue? Netflix?</p>
