Community: Basic Email Security Review

Community goes dark in a pseudo-bottle episode. Here’s our review… I love it whenCommunitygets dark. Basic Email Security is far more focused, much more consciously dark, and is full of great jokes. Its easily the best episode of season six yet. Its another pseudo-bottle episode, but thats not immediately obvious.

Doctor Who, Star Trek, limitations & creativity

Technical and story limitations in Star Trek: The Original Series and classic Doctor Who led to creative problem-solving. Here’s how… Technical boundaries can be stifling, but they can also force creativity. Scenes were performed live on set, just as they would be in the theatre. The entire episode had to be finished by 10pm, because thats when the BBC switched the lights off. In the first episode,An Unearthly Child, there is only one edit in the entire 25 minutes....
