Ignore the warnings of impending doom at your peril, scoff at the ones who prep for the eventual fall of humanity, for they have at least given thought to a future where survival is an immediacy, where every eventuality is considered and given credence; and while we must live for today, tomorrow must have at least some hope in a world willing to tear itself apart.

There is a difference between glitz and style, one not often noted upon when there is money thrown at glitz as if it were the smart prospect in the room because it has the big name behind it, bravado mistaken for confidence, arrogance confused with grace, and one that can be the ruin of a franchise before it even starts; for in humility the viewer immersed in a series created on the back of one of the best selling books of all time will be enthralled and not overwrought with the smell of perfume disguising the smell of rotten meat.
