Well ...

I classify Doom Patrol as dadaist science fiction. The reason I watch it is because I have no fucking clue what will happen next. I imagine this is how normal people feel about most television. For me, I can usually see what's coming far ahead.

Notably, Blood of Zeus is good for going places I didn't really expect it to go, even if I saw the possibility.

Conversely, Star Trek is useful for going right up to a great idea and then stopping short. Are you gonna eat that? No? Fine, then I'm having it. And it's not plagiarism because canon didn't actually do the thing.
