Kirk posted:personally i don't care and i'm willing to look the other way because i'm a big gay homo that likes big ships flying around the galaxy so i'm satisfied. on the flip side, when i am hungry from some slightly more realistic and imaginative sci-fi there's lots of modern stuff that takes these limitations into account. I like the big ships flyin' around the solar system in "Saturn's Children" but the cover is loving reprehensible so get it on Kindle.

NINbuntu 64 posted:yeah but dont they accept it as "canon" or something canon is overrated i like to think of star treks (and law and orders) as just being stand-alone stories that have the same characters from episode to episode so you don't have to re-develop them each time if there's something contradictory, i can deal with it

I read "Ventus" by Karl Schroeder during that time which I've re-read once and it kind of ruled the second time too. Also all the Doctorow books

toby posted:ain't no detriment foo I hope it has a tasteful and dignified ending and doesn't drag on forever like every other show it#. "Operation P.R.O.M." would have been just fine as a last episode IMO; the ending scene with Pulp's "Like a Friend" feels like it was written to be that.

Woz My Neg rear end posted:the ones where they just take the characters and let them play off each other and joke around are funny and rewatchable. not ever show premise has to be totally deconstructed and it's ok, especially in comedy, to just declare things to be true solely because they contribute to humor This is also why "The Gang Gets Trapped" is better than "Frank's Brother."

I re-read Ventus this weekend, and I enjoyed it again. It does a good job blending medieval fantasy/politics poo poo with sci-fi concepts like nanotech and murderous computers.
