The HBO Max thing is just another example of entertainment business VIPs pissing over prior work, to 'make their mark.'

It's what happened to Firefly at Fox, when, just before it was scheduled to air, there was a management shakeup and new vp of entertainment had to tear down his predecessor's work. In this case, it meant broadcasting episodes out of order, moving to Friday evening 'dead zone' time slot and not renewing it.

With WB over HBO, it was David Zaslav doing the same thing, writ large. Got rid of prestige shows (Westworld removed from availability?!!) and then the name change crap. But hey, the board voted in his raises and bonuses so I guess it's not all bad, right?

Sure, itâ(TM)s quite possible for two people to exchange offhand remarks about the local weather apropos of nothing, with no broader point in mind. It happens all the time, even, I suppose, right in the middle of a discussion of the impact of climate change on the very parameters they were discussing.
