WE ARE NOT DEAD YET!
I've said for several years that the next breakthrough TV series will be
about people who know each other only on the net (maybe after two or
three years they have an in-person get-together).

Of course, Alan Ball could have everyone meet in person via astral
projection.

Lotsa possibilities......

You have to remember that Alan Ball is coming from the
homosexual plague years of the mid-1980s until 1990s.
During that time HIV infection was nearly a death
sentence with a 90% chance of dying in ten years.
Lots of gay culture in those years was infatuated with
death like the other magnificient HBO mini-series
Angels in America. By 1996 enough drugs were
discovered to cut the death rate more than 75%.

Which means that the dawn of drug-resistant strains of HIV will mean a
return to those horrid VH-1 years, but somehow spur development of a
great new HBO series?

And?
The first posting talked about death
and I was explaining why Alan
writes about it so much.

Future generations will have their
own wars and plagues and will
write their own tragedies.
