As a huge Western fan, I’ve always thought Clint Eastwood defined the classic cowboy antihero with The Outlaw Josey Wales. It’s amazing how much that character still influences things today – you can see it in newer stuff like the movie Broke and the series 1883, which are really bringing Josey Wales back into the spotlight. There’s one scene in particular that always stuck with me – when Josey faces off with a bounty hunter. Eastwood delivers just one line of dialogue that completely flips the script and makes you realize Josey isn’t just another bad guy, he’s a true Western icon.

Ultimately, bringing back a show is difficult, making it successful is even harder, and for certain series, it’s just not feasible.
The first season of The Next Generation had a few strong episodes, but overall it wasn’t very impressive and didn’t really get much better. Luckily, the show improved significantly in its second season, and truly found its footing by the third. The main reason for this improvement was that the show’s core ideas and direction were finally well-defined.
The vote was the easy part. What came after it is what tore things open. Imagine a soap opera, but with more crypto jargon and fewer hugs.
