TV series warehouse 13, which houses all the world’s “odd” artifacts. The warehouse was always in the strongest empire through history, it moved itself when world order changes - warehouse 12 was in the U.K. up until the 20th century for example.
The finale had it trying to love itself to China and becoming warehouse 14, but that eventually stopped and American Superiority won over.
Those days seem at an end. The actions Trump had made over the last two months will reverberate for the next two decades at least.
How wildly serendipitous. Are you aware that you just described the exact details of the major subplot to the Warehouse 13 episode I mentioned up above? In the event that you are not, please, go watch it. It basically describes what you wrote. It’s season one, episode two.
I used to hang out with musicians and play music with them and jam into the late hours of the early morning. Sometimes we would record our jams, but most of the time we would not.
Listening to these old recordings, you would occasionally find magic and "endless wonder" (see Warehouse 13 episode "Resonance"), and that got me thinking: how much incredible music has been lost to time, music that wasn’t written down and composed and was never recorded?
I think it's because it's easy. Dystopia bring automatic conflict which is easy/lazy to dramatize.
Still all isn't bad, it isn't Star Trek, but there are non-dystopic popular fictions:
- Her
- Stargate SG-1 and spinouts
- Fringe
- Warehouse 13
- Eureka
- Sanctuary
- The new crop of super hero shows and movies, Arrow, SHIELD, The Flash
- Heroes
- The short lived new V series
- Dr. Who
- Guardians of the Galaxy
- Inception
- Gravity
and more....
in Literature there's a huge bounty of great non-dystopic stuff too.
- The Golden Oecumene
- The Culture series
- The Night's Dawn Trilogy
- The Gap series
You just have to know where to look.
I have noticed that too, the most embarrassing was the product placement of Surface in Suburgatory. The lead starts blurting our the specs of the product like a used car salesman! It was cringe worthy. They should take a note or two from Nokia on marketing and ad, those are amazing!
Even worse were the ones by Toyota for Warehouse 13, in the show, everyone gifts a Toyota Prius, everyone rentals a Toyota Prius, heck they even had an episode where while other cars are melting down, they drive the Prius through the hot burning lava perfectly fine!
Nowadays marketers don't even care about subtlety, product placements are becoming more and more obvious to ignore!
In my experience 24 was pretty fun (we LOVED the main character) until they nuked the fridge in the later episodes.
Same thing with Warehouse 13.
But that wasn't boredom-related. Perhaps you just don't match with this series and should have stopped earlier.
