I'll tell you one thing. What I do want to do, I want to, like, cold open. Here's something I want to ask you.

Because this, the new show, it is modern fantasy, one would say, right? Yes. Okay. And then,

but now previously you've also written science fiction. Yes.

And now let me ask you, are there sometimes when you want to punch fantasy writers right in their face?

Let me explain what I mean.

Because like with fantasy, it's like things happen just because, like, this is, like, the

reason why this is happening in the story is because of

the magical scroll, you know, whereas in sci-fi, you have to actually, like, find a reason

why things are happening, and it's infuriating that they get to do that. It feels unfair to me,

you know? I mean, I... Maybe that's just me. I always, it's rare that I don't want to punch people in the face.

There's always some, there's always a reason why I want to punch someone in the face.

Sooner or later, the probability of me wanting to punch you in the face.

It just approaches 100%, you know.

You approach is one eventually.

Yes.

But no, but look, I really subscribe to the notion of those stories, whether they are fantasy or science fiction, really tend to work better.

The more that the fantastical or sort of supernatural

or whatever you want to call it elements, the more that they can all be traced back to like

one single source. Right. Whereas the more that it is kind of, you know, it's a world with aliens and psychics and strange weather phenomena and all these things, you're at a certain point.

It's just kind of a like, okay, so just like anything can happen at any point for any reason.

Right.

We have gotten to the point where I want to punch you in the face.
