the murderbot books are charming scifi, and frankly theyre better than the silo books, so i expect this show to be better than silo if only because i can be certain they will adapt one book per season a la reacher to completely bypass the surf dracula/mystery box problems typical of tv scifi

I understand it is hard to adapt books that are 95% inner monologues, but I have a bad feelings. also I really don't think Skarsgard is a good casting, although I would be glad if they proved me wrong.

I understand it is hard to adapt books that are 95% inner monologues, but I have a bad feelings. There's definitely some social awkwardness in there. Also Murderbot is usually only quippy and sarcastic in his internal monologue where nobody can hear, and outwardly awkward when he has to interact with people in any way beyond being a SecUnit. That seems to have been retained.

Thread comments + apples track record with sci-fi adaptations had me ready to hate this… but I actually am kinda intrigued by the trailer? Maybe I was just easy to please because I was half expecting Deadpool level narration. Edit: Okay, I just got around to watching the new Wes Anderson trailer and I also got interested in it despite being very cold on his last several films. Maybe I'm just in an extremely receptive mood tonight. Anyway a new film by the director of Slow West (Which I liked a lot) popped up in my feed today. Looks cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCW7OoSp0bI Bugblatter fucked around with this message at 11:34 on Apr 10, 2025 |

When I first heard David Dastmalchian was attached to this project I figured it'd be him. The only thing I've liked Skarsgard in is Big Little Lies. Normally I think he's very wooden. He's kind of doofy IRL though, so maybe that will translate.

I like that they've kept some of the color patterns from the original show. The Torosaurus and the T. Rex look like scientifically updated models but they've got the same colors as 1999.

We really only know the colors of like six non-bird dinosaurs at the this time, so anything is fair game.

The fact that he's obviously getting marked early as motivation and that you need a bunch of horrible scenes to justify the revenge plot is making me less than eager to see it tho.

I didn't feel poo poo Google and Apple have both implemented new systems whereby every single phone's accelerometers are earthquake monitor and they mass the data to confirm and can get an alert out knowing exactly where it is and how it's travelling before even the fast initial shockwaves have propagated far, more quickly than the formal sensor network will alert (if you're in at least a somewhat populated area so there's enough phones) MikeJF fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Apr 14, 2025 |

Back in 2020 when they were just kicking it off, they've refined it further since then. For an event like that they can get an alert on everyone's phones after the first handful of seconds. Can't do much about the epicenter but it could give much of the broader metro area population enough warning to hop to it even when the epicenter was near the middle of it. https://x.com/davey_burke/status/1307395583338885120 MikeJF fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Apr 14, 2025 |
