the problem with most serious business tv shows that end up being terrible is that most of the characters in them are not people you would want to know or interact with IRL. they have no depth or development. generally they are miserable characters with no joy in anything whose sole purpose is to fill a narrow role. shows like 'the event' or 'flashforward' that tried to use the lost formula failed because every character on those shows were wretched and selfish individuals. like, data was an android who had a cat named like a dog and had more humanity than most characters in other tv shows. that's why star trek rules and everything else drools.

Also, what the gently caress is Sid Meier doing that's more important than making an Alpha Centauri 2. I don't care about 3D models, I just want turns resolved in seconds, and the ability to design custom units if I'm so inclined.
