speaking of ron moore, for all mankind is exquisitely watchable trash

just total garbage I'm shoving into my brain as rapidly as possible

(its an alt-history where the IRA successfully executed margaret thatcher. and some other differences.)

I love it so much but still haven't gotten around to watching season 3

the season 2 finale though, it was like the last 30 seconds of overtime and both teams have pulled their goalies and everyone in the arena is standing up because oh poo poo how is this going to end, but for an hour. just incredible tv.

i was mad enough about that that i stopped listening to radiohead for a long time. i was a broke college student and buying a new album on release day was kind of a big deal lol

lol I never read any 'American Classic' hard-boiled / noir detective fiction before, but I'm about a third through Hammett's RED HARVEST and it's a hoot - I love the straight, sparse no-nonsense text peppered with 1920's slang and the wry, cool-headed detective shaking down Poisontown. Rare a book makes me go Oh drat IRL and this has dropped it on my several times already.

just put this on my kindle, looks good from the first bit I read.

Yea I couldn't make it past the first half of S5. Maybe one day. I just googled the ending, and I'm glad that Bester gets what he deserves.

the telepath poo poo sucks but the rest of s5, esp the back half is really really good

lol so if you skip the beginning and the end, it's totally worth watching honest

i want to like babylon 5 but everyone who recommends it has so many caveats that it makes me think it's not actually worth watching unless you have Powerful Nostalgia. unlike ds9, which is cool and good even at its nadir

it's a 90s show with 22 episodes per season, it has the same caveats as such as TNG, SG1, DS9 - there are some episodes that aren't great, might be more filler, or clip shows or whatever. people love it for good reason but then people who've only heard that people like it have this expectation that it's just absolutely incredibly amazing from the start and, well, it's a 90s show with 22 episodes per season.

but you know it actually comes in handy. a little kids pain blows up all of the existing dilithium everywhere, simultaneously, so warp becomes basically impossible for everyone else

sorry, what???

what about romulan ships that get their power from a singularity, can't they still do a warp

that doesn't tell you anything the first couple minutes of the third season opener will not, its not really a spoiler

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/The_Burn on the other hand is absolutely chock full of spoilers (don't read it jonny)

wait a minute this says it happened in the mid30th century, they knew about the romulans then, wtf

the canonical explanation for that is that lorca was from the evil universe, so actually, they're all bad men. checkmate :smuggo:
