Genuinely did once get hired to do some design work for “Facebook but for dogs”.

They paid me money and I got to put photos of my own dogs everywhere as placeholders and look at them all day so whatever.

I’m completely with you on this, LD is clearly a hit with a lot of people and that makes me happy to see, but the show is just not for me. The characters are indeed way too hyper all the time which is tiring to watch, and I think it’s a shame because the concept and even a lot of the plots could be funny, but the characters never grow or change or become any less the absolute worst, so it’s kind of a wasted opportunity.

Anyway I’m not replying to dunk on LD. It’s a tv show and I don’t personally like it, whatever. I am replying to ask if you’ve tried The Orville.

Go with me here, because I assumed it was going to be just more of the kiddie style humour like LD. And it sort of is at first, so on my first attempt I bounced off the first episode and didn’t go back for a year. But we seem to have basically the same taste when it comes to Trek and I can honestly say The Orville turned into some of the best Trek I’ve seen. It’s got its weak points and annoying characters like anything else, but they’re a bit more like real people who change over time based on their experiences and aren’t just stuck in that typical animated show loop of being exactly the same again at the start of each new episode.

You might like it, you might not. Just a suggestion! :)

Oh well, no further recommendations from me. But hello Trek-preferences twin, I guess :D

Yes! Although, I have to admit I’ve never rewatched Farscape since it was originally on, I was still in school and me and my bestie were obsessed. Kind of worried to rewatch and find it doesn’t hold up. Firefly on the other hand, totally holds up!

Ok this will put the cat among the pigeons. And I probably shouldn’t be admitting it on the internet, but I just have to know…

spoilerFor all I love scifi, I cannot stand the Battlestar Galactica remake. Thoughts?

I knew that would be a step too far. The dream is dead 😆

Oh come on, The Core is a classic!

Living in an area that has “James Cook is from round here” as basically its only defining characteristic just got a lot cooler.
