Thanks so much for doing these 'insider' side-reviews. They really enrich the viewing for me, and I've gone straight for your comments as I finish each episode. I look forward to more next season.

Finally realized who Tom Baker's Bendu reminds me of - the King Moonracer character from the '64 stop motion Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: https://youtu.be/Kjkuxc6RB_… (time stamped to the king speaking)

Right, never mind people being interrogated. And then there's the whole fallible memory issue. In this recent study, they found they were able to get people to construct false memories of having committed a violent act or crime, and even when researchers later revealed it was a memory study and that they knew those…

Hah, I had to do some mental gymnastics to justify why that might be. "They uh… don't use those in space? Er, well no because how else would Raven… OK maybe Abby just isn't up on any notion of codes and encryption. Too much time just studying medicine?"

I'm really enjoying this show. To a surprising degree. Things that have anything to do with space are thin on the tv ground these days, and that was about all I needed to give the first season a go. Of course, they don't stay in space long but then I'm cool with nuclear holocaust dystopias too. The pacing was a…

Pkunk! Sorry I … I somehow only just found out that people have kept Star Control II alive and started playing it for the first time in forever, so your user image and name stood out.

Yeah, I could see that parallel. That was such an uncomfortable scene (in SatC) So much cringing (https://www.youtube.com/wat… )
