This is a typically illuminating XKCD illustration, with a sobering gut punch that you know is coming, but still hits hard...

That said, what saves B7 is that the stories are pretty good. It's also, even now, unusual to see a crew that so openly bitches, moans and fights with each other.

Also, it's pretty rare to see this much beige and flares in a sci-fi show. :smile:

For some reason, I'm on a British sci-fi tip right now (well, it helps I'm British). Tracked down Blake's 7 on YouTube. And my god, when they say this show was cheap... they aren't kidding. Makes Doctor Who in the same period look like a blockbuster epic.

@bradamant I have one that's similar (cute while annoying) but, she claws, so...

@annatarkov Absolutely, yeah. But the mass is so much more powerful. See: American election. :\

Stephen Reid boosted

"Let's play a game, to help some of the newcomers make connections: name 5-7 things that interest you but aren't in your profile, as tags so they are searchable. Then boost this post or repeat its instructions so others know to do the same."







@karlmonson Nope. But it could be a nice alternative for some.

@seven5three @CobaltVelvet I'm seeing some, not others (and same on refresh).

Interesting; when you reply to a 'content warning' expanded toot, it includes the pre-CW bit of text. Can see uses and abuses for that...!

My cat's wake-human-up ritual is becoming more elaborate. Show more

@Idoubtit Well, not cooking the chicken right, for starters.

@annatarkov What's the quote... a person can be smart, but people are an easily confused, scared and suggestible mass... I paraphrase terribly.

@Idoubtit Well, if I've got to believe Donald Trump is President, I might as well believe in Bigfoot as well. :D

@bradamant Good list. Expect them all to follow here if it takes off. :D

@Elex Holy crap, if you could edit toots... killer feature... :D
