Innovation in Television
Now that season three of Wheel of Time is over, Amazon should announce a new season, but it's just season one again, then two, then three. At no point should Amazon acknowledge they're reruns. It's thematically resonant syndication for the mischief-loving modern audience.

A. Write science fiction instead.
Q. The problem will persist in space.
A. Don't let Spaniards into space.
Q. Too late for that.
A. Then all is lost.
