Yea, I wish they were both more military look (shorter hair, more armor), and more androgynous… but it was one of the changes i expected to make it work with modern TV.

my wife and I are limiting ourselves to one episode a night, or else we would binge all 6 episodes in one night! we are so desperate that we re-started the series all ready, watching episode 1 after finishing episode 3!

yea, i feel like the ‘humanized’ all the characters, including Dr Mensah and Murderbot, and added more relationship drama… but the changes feel solid, not changes for the sake of change.

yea,

The books are all novellas, with All Conditions Red only being 160 pages, so im not surprised how short the episodes were. I wish they had adapted the first two books, as 8 1 hour episodes, but loving what they did!

aww, A Fire Upon the Deep is high on my reread list! Still one of the more thought provoking books i’ve read

Of course, a mount like this would have been part of an achievement or an in-game event. Now its just “open your wallets”

yea, i get that, but once you get through the quick puzzle, or have seen the same ship 2 or 3 times, its pretty rote!

Really enjoyed my first 10 hours with this game.

After that it became a bit repetitive, but i highly recommend it!

sounds like a resonable ask. Every mission relies on the DSN, or one other countries run, and i know we are only going to want increasing range and data rates in the future.

Re-reading a bunch of Discworld. Really need to read Project Hail Mary, only heard good things about it

What an incredible picture! The scope of it always boggles my mind.

sadly not, theres no romantic sub plots, and its all from the POV of the girl thats in the AI support coffin.

Managed to refine my search terms a bit, and by using “AI prison” instead of “vr prison” found it!

I loved how Klyden grew through that story line, realizing what his prejudice was costing him and growing!

Really loved it, after the first couple episodes it felt like Star Trek with average people, without the overhype of modern star trek.

Just finished Frugal Wizards Guide, by Sanderson.

It wasn’t what I was expecting, but found it weird and fun. As per most of Sanderson’s books, I fell down the sanderlanch, and read it in 2 days.

I wasn’t too impressed with episode one, it felt very tired, and too self congratulatory.

How does ep 2 compare to ep 1?
