There are still heroes. They’re human, but they’re there. Don’t let bad people convince you that good ones don’t exist.

Oh for the living love of fuck. You do know Star Trek didn’t come engraved in a set of sacred tablets, right? It’s a TV show that TV writers wrote. It’s fine that this one is different to the others, just like it was fine that the others were different to each other. If you let how “wrong” it is get in the way of the…

If anyone finds an alternative source a link would be appreciated! On tenterhooks for this series.

Thanks a lot for your comment, it’s appreciated. I loved the books and was pumped to hear how much everyone was raving about the series, but the two episodes I watched were lukewarm garbage. Unimaginative casting, generic visuals, clunky dialogue, flavourless characters, most of it badly shot - just a big…

Good one.

Fingers crossed.

Yes but my fantasy isn’t really based on collection of evidence so much as watery childlike hope.

Sometimes when I’m lying in bed wracked with mortal dread I imagine there’s a GCU low key hanging out behind the sun getting ready to make contact and sort out my mum’s diabetes and fix my back teeth and take us to the brand new luxury orbital they’ve knocked together.

Yeah that’s why I don’t let my kids read books. That troubling vacant expression, completely absorbed with whatever little (educational!) story the publishers loaded onto that gizmo. It was like I was raising little zombies.

You’re right, much much better than the one in the article.

Mate, come on. If you’re going to talk shit at least be SOMEWHERE near the same level.

42 animals killed in escapes and attacks since 1990, you’re right what a holocaust open the doors let them frolic in the soft protective embrace of nature as gentle mother gaia intended.

Christ alive. I know this is a site where nerds gather to feed and squabble, but this is some seriously petty shit my friend.

1: Michelle Fairley is also conventionally attractive.

Hell yes, this looks amazing.

Could do without the 3 consequence free noble self sacrifices per episode.

Yeah, I thought this was going to be some sort of gnarly scifi short film. I was pleasantly surprised and slightly disappointed at the same time.

It’s just a numbers game, if your GM males are equally successful in mating but produce twice as many male offspring as the wild males then you’re crowding out the wild males and fucking up the ratio more and more with every generation until your females are outnumbered by males and the wild type males are outnumbered…

I get it. Growing up reading Terry Pratchett’s beautiful lies about the poetry of Death and the divine ape has provided this lil atheist with the sliver of insulation that she sometimes really needs to shield her thoughts from the dread void.

I was after a new read, thanks for the recommendation. io9 commenters rarely steer me wrong on scifi.
