I don't quite get what's funny about it but may be missing some backstory. Did she die in a submarine accident?

Looks fantastic (although the fx budget was heavily loaded to the start of the season) and drat if Lee Pace didn't put in the work to look like the very sculpture of an emperor with every opportunity afforded him. Musk should be taking notes. /mfw Empire Day takes the 170km Spiral religious trek  S2 drops middle of next month so good timing on my part.

Also lol the bar had a bunch of old cartoons playing on the screen projector last night - I know Speedy Gonzales was briefly Cancelled for Racial Insensitivity in the late 90s, but I never saw this particular clip before, apparently edited out for reruns shortly after first airing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZ0JUVd-iQU&t=123s ^^timestamped *BLAM*

Jonny 290 posted:I really like SNW to the point that i havent watched the last 2 eps of S1 yet, waiting a week or so lol that's quite a jarring contrast season 1 of discovery really wasn't that bad because you have michelle yeoh and jason issacs hamming it the gently caress up (especially once you find out lorca is from the mirror universe). the plot makes very little sense and ultimately is just a bunch of stuff that happens, but most of the actors are pretty good even if their characters aren't tilly is the lead in the new starfleet academy series which makes me not want to watch it tbh. i didn't see disco past season 3 and i know they changed her characterization a bit but she's the weakest one out of the handful they give screen time i think. generally insufferable

i could not make it through picard season 2 or discovery season 3. SNW was a bit nostalgic and colourful fun in contrast

i watched discovery s1 and thought it was pretty awful but i like klingons so i stuck with it. then got halfway into s2 and it was depressing and dour and total poo poo and i gave up and haven't gone back. i watched picard s1 and it was so bad i skipped s2. then i watched s3 on red letter media's recommendation and i was like hah, this is a little better, this is kind of the star trek i remember...i think? not bad? but a lot of that was just seeing all the familiar faces again. then i watched snw and it was like throwing open a window into the sun. the shiny appealing future. the problems that are straightforward stories of good guys vs. dangerous or misunderstood forces instead of grimdark everything-is-a-conspiracy cynicism. the smart, competent people doing their jobs well and even joking and smiling with each other. the occasional comedy bits spock and t'pring brain switch mixed with moments of genuinely creepy sci-fi horror the ones who walk away from omelas but everything works out in the end. oh and apparently they finally replaced all the light bulbs on the sets. it finally just felt right.

watched dungeons & dragons: honor amongst thieves last night, it is a reasonably fun and entertaining movie with lots of references that my partner who knows all the forgotten realms poo poo understood but I still enjoyed seeing an owlbear and gelatinous cube I’d also guess michelle rodriguez’s part was originally written for gina carano

To be published November 7th 2023 https://www.orbitbooks.net/2023/04/21/the-culture-the-drawings-by-iain-m-banks/ I'm a sucker for large-format Art Books, and have pretty much already run out of space for any more. I had to doublecheck these are actually drawings by Banks, not drawings of Banks 'Culture' stuff by someone else, I had a warning bell like this would be the perfect time to run off some AI sketches and publish them.
