Mmm, I know exactly what you mean. I'm tired of limp lead characters who just tick the boxes of a target demographic to self-insert into.
The Expanse suffered a bit from that (the main guy had all the magnetism of limp celery) but was saved because every single other character was genuinely interesting. Farscape had a much smaller cast, so there was no escape!
The thing I liked with 1 and 2 was that they both tried to tackle big ideas of past trauma, even if it didn't come out well the big thinking was in there while a lot of recent things I've watched has felt skin deep at best
Yeah, that was just what the organisers called it I guess.
Large living spaces are bad, they take up extra space and cost more to heat and maintain.
40m^2 is plenty of space for two people to live together comfortably, provided it's well laid out.
How do you feel about Tenet?
Maybe it's worse now, I moved away about 15 years ago. Admittedly the trams were mostly useful for getting to specific areas and didn't cover everything, but a lot of that is constrained by the geography there!
The more I think about it, yes it would be a lot of fun!
AER: Memories of old
It's fun, you play as a woman who can turn into a bird and have to explore, solve basic puzzles, and there's a good story. It's just short and simple.
I read yesterday about the PR that Saudi Arabia and UAE have been doing to work their way up a "trust index", among other things.
There are few, if any, uncorrupted organisations or countries, and I now believe that it is simply human nature to be monstrous. Anything else requires herculean strength or absolute bull-headedness.
When I was young I watched Star Trek as an idealist looks Ng towards a brighter future, now I enjoy it as fantasy. If an interplanetary federation were to exist as it is portrayed, humans would have to be a minority to avoid contamination of ideals and truth.
I do not say the following lightly: in order to make a home where I feel truly comfortable I moved to a different country which is societally more accepting than where I was born.
I hope that your daughter and her friend will have the freedom to find their community and build happy lives. Sometimes that means leaving forever.
Or out of transporters, like the time I beamed a box of Leola root on board but due to a solar flare they materialised as sentient organisms. Several of the crew had to be given mental health leave afterwards.
That could be said of a lot of things ... a great concept let down by lazy writing and poor casting. Yet these things get money thrown at them - great effects, lighting, locations, makeup, etc etc
