the thread title is dune, which is at least as much fantasy as sci-fi

so idk, how's your wizard hat?

it’s like the one Dresden wears on the book covers, but never in the books

I thought it was great, at it's best when it was focusing on stuff other than the gender themes, where it could get a bit fourth wall breaking (not that they were bad, just that it was most eye-opening when it wasn't in your face). I loved all the stuff about the main characters identity.

Sequels were very meh.

this is pretty much how I feel about the series. I liked the sequels but felt like they should have been condensed into one book instead.

I feel like raven tower is just as good as the first book

I can’t re-watch Jurassic bark

and I usually skip the movies, but the only one that’s actually bad is beast with a billion backs

most of the post-cancelation episode are ok, but there are far fewer good ones

the actual-final-final episode is good and can be watched independently of anything else in the post-cancellation era

Was there one where the delivery company explodes and Fry is dead but they get one from an alternate reality where Lela and him hooked up based on a coin flip or some poo poo?

your mixing up a couple episodes

farnsworth parabox is a good one and has the coin-flip alternate dimension

fry being dead might have been from the first post-movie episode

maybe The Sting, where fry dies and leela thinks he's not really dead and slowly goes crazy and it was all a hallucination

oh yeah, that’s a good one too

I re-watched it on Netflix recently and it was fine

when it was new though, it really fell short of the “futurama but fantasy” premise

I can’t even imagine figuring out where an author lives currently, and that’s with Google and social media and poo poo. props to that kid for actually winding up at Anthony’s house

I guess Anthony would write little slice-of-life style diary entries in the backs of his books and the kid used clues from those to figure it out.
