Same here (Although, I'm not sure we should continue to call it TV since a lot of us are no longer consuming this content on a TV but rather via streaming services on a computer device. Also, a lot of new serialized content is created specifically for streaming services and not TV. TV, the way we knew it, is dead , in my opinion.)
It is way more enjoyable to watch a long sci-fi series in one go than to watch a single two hour film. The plots and characters have more time to develop in a series. It is in essence a really long film. Almost like reading a really good book.
- spc476 8y agoWe still "dial" a phone number even though it's been (for me) over 30 years since I've seen a phone with a rotary dial (at my grandparent's house).
- Waterluvian 8y agoI've never once questioned the etymology of "dial" before now. Funny how you just accept certain facts as fundamental because you're taught them at a young age.
