      Here's episode 2, in which we talk about about the push-pull of using narrative magic trickshttp://www.vulture.com/2018/01/electric-dreams-recap-season-1-episode-2-autofac.html …

      ehhhhh I dk, I feel like this is a critique of features intrinsic to short-form SF

      Exactly. And the pertinent question is: are these short-form SF or episodes of anthology television? You have to adapt to the form. You simply have to (because the best episodes of this show do just that).

      In short stories you cant to do one acts that lead to a single synthesis point. An episode of 50 minute tv really requires multiple synthesis points that change the nature of the conflict along the way.

      I think of short stories and stand-alone 50-minute films as both "short-form sf," and tho I'm not sure what you mean by "synthesis point"? I'm still not sure you can do in either form what you critique "Autofac" for not doing

      I'd argue that ALL storytelling is "reveal-based" storytelling. And there's only so much character development you can do in 50 minutes.

      A synthesis is point is the point in drama where characters face off in their existing conflict and it changes the nature of that conflict. It is the fundamental backbone of story evolution. In tv, they're critical parts of act break functionality.

      A good hour of tv should have 4 to 5 of them because that's how you evolve that story. Most sci-fi short stories have one because they really are much shorter, story-wise. They're more situational and cerebral and less dramatizations.

      Not sure I agree about that - an hour of tv is a lot less story, strictly speaking, than 10k words of text - but this is all very interesting.

      I really have to disagree. 10k words is actually very, very little story when it comes to describing a dramatic space and getting the ability to evolve it.

          Perhaps it goes to the old saying, a picture is worth a thousand words, and here we're talking about 30 frames per second.

          Besides, there are people who know what to do with that 10k and make it move and people who don't. This is largely about execution, not how form makes something obligatorily true.
