it’s weird how Naomi and Marco who are obviously in their 30s have a son who is obviously in his 20s

that bothered me a bit at first but i took that to mean they were both very young then. it was a nice flip from expecting marco to be walking around with a toddler

The Fool posted:

I think in the books Naomi was a mom at 17 , and the kid is introduced at 16

ah that makes sense. i felt the kid in the show appears older, but that still works if he's in his early 20s

i don’t remember if an explicit age was ever given for Marco, but iirc it was heavily implied that he was older than Naomi

not old man creepy, but like guy in 20’s taking advantage of naive teenager

that Amazon anthology from 2017 or whatever was awesome, they really should have done more but it was too early in the life of Prime for people to get hype over it. hopefully Bezos resurrects it because he's a loving nerd

it has a bunch of relevant story elements like climate change, gene editing, mars habitation, and drug use if my memory serves correctly

i'd say it could benefit from modern cg but total recall did just fine with mostly practical effects

edit: and that reminded me of the perky pat easter egg in existenz which i need to find my copy to rewatch

yeah, especially "layouts" like the perky pat line, where people are buying little (extremely expensive and heavily branded) trinkets to hallucinate a better reality is *incredibly* relevant in 2021. we don't get to do drugs on mars, but the layouts are certainly getting very real.
