children of dune didnt quite do it for me. it's when the endless Duncan Idaho begins and why does anyone care about him

the difference between hard and soft sci fi is literally pretending your magic poo poo isn't magic. like in the expanse where there's zombies and teleportation and electric marvel superpowers and they're like "oh we just DONT UNDERSTAND these MAGIC POWERS yet" lmao

zombies I get, the other two I dont understand what you're referencing?

ghosts that only certain characters get to see is one i forgot about, but an asteroid breaks physics to move in one scene, and then electricity, momentum, etc. are shut down in the Magic Aether Zone when they first enter the Magic Stargate

i actually really like the expanse fwiw it's just super fantastical in terms of the science part

at least i gotta give props to the world building the prequels had. the sequels, in return, were literally the most empty calorie poo poo.

e: still dont understand why folks ever liked star wars. literally a huge Nerd collective around a single good movie out of eleven

if you like klingons in star trek, you'll love legend of galactic heroes

here's the thing: i hated star trek. i hate star wars, too. they're just both really badly written CONSTANTLY imho

it's really really good. the characters are interesting and consistent and smart and fun to watch. Wang Yen-li is my husbando

this is my poo poo though. i hear rumors it leans too hard into "we just need a STRONG BENEVOLENT DICTATOR to take care of problems", is that just people not reading subtlety like it sometimes is?

Jabor posted:

the old series is good but very long. it doesn't feel like it gets caught up in wheel-spinning filler, though. the new series is much shorter and still hits the major plot elements, but sometimes feels like it was made for people that already watched the old one.

yeah i would watch the old series, my understanding of the new series is exactly as you describe

there was one good star wars movie out of, what, 10 by now? and all these disney movies caused millions of weird nerds to create a fandom around a single good disney movie or some poo poo

kid rock was in a small town about 50 miles away, and he acted like a petulant child when they wouldn't let him cut in line at the karaoke bar

that's what kid rock is like in detroit suburbs too don't worry
