Raithe

I did catch the recent Tomb Raider. It was.. disappointing. There were a lot of good elements to it, the way they stripped the supernatural element out and turned it into a "realistic" thing was interesting. But at the same time Tomb Raider should have that element of psuedo-fantastical to it. You had the fan service of several scenes / images being taken from the rebooted game, but then they lost huge chunks of the story. Some of it seemed heavily compressed and simplified. Plus, they had a Lara Croft who had no knowledge of archeology at all which was a bit weird, and then they used flashbacks to show "Oh, she learnt archery when she was 12" to explain the one skill as a hobby/sport rather than some drive to have training.

I still like the idea of a tycoon style builder where you have to build the Jurassic Park. Only to then have it turn into a first person shooter / survival game when the dinosaurs go on a rampage, and you have to deal with how good you were at building and expanding the park in the first half....

For a little look back.. An interesting poke at Quantum Leap, how it differed from the Woobie of the Week development, and the way it worked. Tor - Quantum Leap gave us our favourite version of America

This did kind of amuse me.. When you get a professor of Medieval History who enjoys films running a take down of King Arthur... Tor - Bruckheimer making boom with the real King Arthur (2004)

Speaking from the cheap seats, it does seem to be a very fine line to balance. If you put too many restrictions on them (law enforcement), then in situations where lives are in the balance any form of hesitation can lead to loss of life and serious injury. At the same time, it can't just be a wild west pull a gun at a moment's notice and blast away. The point is finding the midway point of training, attitude and perception. This seems to get harder to find as the different viewpoints argue over the matter and start pushing to the extremes of both arguments.
