People don't want folding. Folding is the cost paid to get something they do want: a larger screen. What do people actually want in a handheld? They want that roll-out multi-size screen from Earth: Final Conflict.
OK, that was 1997, and it's been done better since then (Minority Report and others...: [1]). But people want the big screen with a tiny carry.

Earth: Final Conflict
Season 1 was amazing. After that, bleh. At least in that case it sounds like executive meddling was the culprit.
On the other hand, The Expanse keeps opening whole new everythings that make what came before tiny but also essential. No second of plot is wasted. They could loosen it up a bit with a bottle episode or two to develop the characters more though. I could go any number of seasons if they could maintain the quality.
And then there's the new Lost In Space. They're going to end it in the next season at exactly the right time. Pacing-wise, it feels like a three-part miniseries. Just enough room to build a world and develop the characters without overstaying its welcome.
isn't that like most episodes of STTNG? All the fuckups are becuse exceptional situations, usually involving tachyons.
Or many others did too. Earth Final Conflict for one, the hand tablets. Hell Tech works amazing in black mirror, one might argue WAY TOO WELL.
Interesting story about Netflix, I wanted to order "Earth final conflict season 2" from Netflix but they only offer season 1 for some reason.
I spent an hour on their website looking for a way to request they carry a movie, or even a "contact us" email or phone and found nothing. Would it really hurt to let users at least submit something that's missing?
Why do they randomly not have the second season of a series anyway? This sucks.
I grew up without cable (rural Jamaica) but even I caught a few episodes of Enterprise...
All things being equal, Earth Final Conflict was better...
