They're intrinsically unsuited to space travel, which requires large, collaborative projects to be pulled off flawlessly.

the cannibal island religion bits in consider phlebas always seemed a bit off for a culture-aligned orbital also a big part of why I don’t recommend it as a first culture book

anyway most scifi authors suck at religion, the ancillary/radtch books probably get it close where there's a strict set of cultural norms but nearly everyone breaks them in small ways, continuously

some medieval scholars had a lol GoT blog series that was entertaining other than making fun of the nerd chorus of ‘shows it how brutal it really is, man’ was they emphasized that it was a big deal none of the characters actually appeared to believe in the gods and how big of a deal that would have been

There's a great line in one of the wolf hall books which is something like "Whether Catherine of Aragon lost her virginity to her first husband, or her second, will forever remain a mystery"

one of the best parts about modern HD shows is that you actually have to put effort into costumes and whatnot because you can't hide it behind poo poo quality broadcasting or media. remember when everyone complained things looked like a soap opera because they weren't blurry as hell? on the other hand that's a detriment to indie low budget things, but they get a pass because it's understandable, and they might get a little more budget not having to worry about physical distribution

SmokaDustbowl posted:yeah, I'm like 10 minutes into episode 2 and the costumes and sets etc are super good that medic android they carry along is really well done, and im digging the armor being somewhat regressive. a bit prelude to 40k vibe now that more cgi is accessible and becoming convincing, it sort of gives low budget a leg up to cut costs with fakes for otherwise difficult or messy practical effects. i mean it still can look somewhat unconvincing but i agree they get a pass
