Hello /c/sciencefiction. What have you been watching or what do you plan on watching?
Here is a collection of some of the most upvoted and discussed shows from last months discussion.
Catching up on S3 of For All Mankind in preparation for S4. I am enjoying it as much as the first two.
Up to date with Ahsoka too, which is delivering the goods in style, and taking things in a pleasingly different direction from time to time.
And also Lower Decks which has now reached the heights where my SO chooses it in preference to any other comedy options. Largely due to T'lyn, I think.
Watched Silo and loved it. Looking forward to the next season.
Is there a next season? I'm unfamiliar with the book series, and that finale was pretty satisfying for me. I just assumed it was one-and-done.
Yeah season 2 is confirmed already so it should be interesting to see where the story goes from that ending
It was a good ending place, but the order of events is different than the books. There is more they can do with the first books plot points, but I'm not really sure how they would do it. As they kind of skipped to the end.
Are you sure? Didn't they end the show like halfway through the first book?
I haven't read Wool although I do plan on it. Based on the many conversations I read about it I was under the impression that while it made it halfway through the first book they both ended in a similar way. Which would mean there is plot points from the second half of the book left to do despite jumping to the conclusion. I could be wrong on that though.
Well let me know what you think when you've read it. But as far as I remember, the first season of the show ends with Juliette leaving the silo. This happens around half-way through the first book. There's a lot of stuff that happens after that point in the book that isn't at all covered in the show.
I was worried the show took a wild deviation from the source material. Sounds like they are basically on track though. That makes me more hopeful about season 2.
Yeah there's definitely some deviations from the source material, but honestly I don't have any complaints with them. A lot of stuff that is a mystery in the show is revealed pretty early on in the book (the truth about outside, IT being the true power, etc). Also Sims doesn't exist in the book. But overall, it's pretty similar.
I too am looking forward to season 2, some of my favorite parts from the first book should come up next season.
I'm on season 5 of Star Trek TNG.
Currently only a few shows airing weekly. Lower Decks, Ahsoka and Futurama.
Other than that not anything special on my horizon.
I was pretty lukewarm on the new episodes of Futurama... but the latest one about simulated universes was really fun!
Are robots the foundation for freedom from economic slavery?
