#WritersCoffeeClub 5 May Have you ever taken inspiration from something which could have but didn&#39;t happen? Absolutely. This is the definition of alternate history, a genre I&#39;ve been obsessed with since I was very young. Sometimes I think it&#39;s fun to point right at the one event that lies at the fork of my story&#39;s timeline from ours; sometimes i think it&#39;d be overexplaining (and fun for an alert reader to suss out).

despite the presence of some lines that bumped for me in the last few episodes, i had faith in the show right up to the last episode. then all the flaws of the final third swam into focus. in short: more Dr. Ellis, please un-nerf Dr. Al-Hashimi, and much less Dr. Robby &amp; white savior dudes.

@ShaulaEvans I'm old! :) I've done a bunch of stuff, which your amazement is making me feel a lot better about, truly. I was a systems administrator for 25 years... been married & divorced twice... never broken a bone... had a stroke at age 50... I have an extremely good ear... what else can I tell ya? and what secrets are *you* hoarding? :)
