Like you, I loved this show as a kid - and I think I’d be too afraid of ruining my own memories of it by attempting to watch it again now!

I learned that lesson when I tried to watch a Blake’s 7 episode about ten years ago… 😬

Some things are best left to nostalgia.

I loved Arrival, and personally I found both the ideas and the characters compelling - but if the ‘language changing perception’ part didn’t land for you, I can see why you wouldn’t care for it.

If you haven’t already read it, it might be worth trying the short story that it’s based on (‘Story of Your Life’ by Ted Chiang, in the collection Stories of Your Life and Others), instead. I found the story a bit drier than the film, but perhaps you’ll prefer it.

(ETA: And in the time I was thinking about and typing this up, I see others have beaten me to suggesting the short story!)

That’s a great list. Have seen a good proportion of them, but there’s a couple (The Endless and Stalker) that I wasn’t aware of, so will have to watch out for.

I’m no artist, and I doubt my few screenshots would be of interest, given:

The weirder the better, plz.

But I’m curious, why the emphasis on weird? What’s wrong with a simple N7 or a classy shot of the Normandy?

Also, in more practical terms - what dimensions does a banner need to be?

Thank you, that’s very much appreciated. 🙂

Saw this earlier - have to admit I’d forgotten all about it, but was still sad to hear it won’t be happening now. I loved Mr. Robot, so would have been very interested to see what Sam Esmail did with this.

Heh, that’s a fair point! Unfortunately I’m no artist either.

Oh! Yes, that makes sense. So I’m the one who misunderstood 🤦🏻

Sorry, @inkican 😔

See, this (along with perpetual anxiety over whether I’ve worded something the best way) is why I normally just lurk online… but I want to see this group, and Kbin/Lemmy more generally, succeed… so I’m trying to participate more!

100% agree! And unfortunately even if some kind of oversight or legislation is brought in now, there’s no putting that genie back in the bottle 😕
