why is it always space catholics? every now and again there's like space mormons in the expanse or like in ender's game, but nobody else. I think there's space muslims in Pitch Black but I can't recall any other muslims in space. where the space protestants at???

going back to this they are literal mithraics and they dress like the sun worshipper from dork souls

but yeah unsurprisingly osc had multiple religions in space and since lds is a form of protestantism I can’t believe no one mentioned the expanse either?

probably someone did idk

see i hate that. i miss weekly shows on actual television and theorycrafting with friends over battlestar, lost, and heroes. i get annoyed that online releases do entire seasons at once. i like the natural week to week tension. i think early game of thrones was the last time i did that.

i mean we have fargo coming up that's better than pretty much anything hbo has and pretty sure it's week by week

so is the boys and raised by wolves has a staggered release

I watched redline, it is insane and it has that weird primary color ugly late 90s sega arcade game vibe you can't stop looking at, reminded me of space dandy, in part because the main characters are basically the same guy

Also sci fi adjacent: I started playing Disco Ellysium again as I only played all the way through once (possibly as the Mentalist aka psychic cop) and within 10 minutes I've punched a child in the face and laughed out loud because I didn't think that was what that dialogue option did

who's the bitch now Cuno?

was that wrong?

i've never really thought of vonnegut as a science fiction author but yeah ok

well at least ive read some interesting stuff about kilgore trout just now

fair to say vonnegut is not a genre author per se though

my conclusion: he is the fargo s2/3 of authors in that he was very very good and also there is a pulp sci fi writer and probably aliens in there

I really enjoy time travel stories, not like technical ones, but like the concept of being thrust into a world you totally don't understand. the thing is we're literally in the future now, not even a apocalypse would surprise us that much. we have the scientific knowledge so it's hard to think what futuristic thing could phase a currently living person if they got zapped forward in time. lol does this make any sense?

futureman was an interesting take on this i guess

it kind of did the idiocracy thing but that future tv execs were dumber than anything

i feel like cheap, instant transportation would lead to a radically different world than anything we could expect

sure, some scifi authors have played around with the idea, but authors of the past also played around with the idea of ubiquitous instant communication, yet the world we actually live in is still rather alien to them.

I usually don't like Time Travel films but Predestination was fun just for the time-twists. If you haven't seen it I recommend it but you absolutely have to watch it unspoiled. I would even avoid the trailer.

Do you really think an iPhone would freak out someone who watched steam engines go from dicky little parlor tricks to building sized behemoths in their lifetime?

yeah it would

i think you’re lacking in imagination here

specifically that some 19th century person wouldn’t be able to get it

maybe if they were over 20

give mark twain and a Connecticut yankee an iPhone sure it’s a meaningless hunk of plastic so is a Star Trek PAdd without a starship

i think the fact that the miracle of the iphone isn't the iphone, but the 387 billion dollars of network infrastructure enabling it to work anywhere, and also the fact that any old person can slap down money for it. if you got the cash you can walk into a store and buy the world's most advanced personal communicator

ignoring all that when you get a working interface for the entire loving dumb internet that costs $200 (for a cheapo, shaddup we can go lower) with a service plan for idk, a couple hours minimum wage per month and then it hits you

just watched adopt a highway wherein ethan hawke is off the grid on what my homie just pointed out would have been the grid (oregon uses a grid for penal and not a baseball system) for his third strike

it's like reverse scifi thinking of someone locked up for a deece fraction of their life for an oz and missing out on basically everything

i myself went through a timewarp between 2002 and 2009 just not giving a poo poo about computers or the internet and then my dad gave me an old laptop of his at christmas and i ended up watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dunKAwRN3P8
