I guess the Netflix MSTK was an atari situation : just rehypothecate an old brand we happen to own. I'm not sure exactly what happened there but the result is I rarely see praise for it.

That being said, I really liked it. Barbershop quartet in season 2 is a particularly great highpoint of the series.

Unpopular opinion: Maybe the narrative metaphor of the space station is the dash od salt that enhances the flavor of the voiceovers and that's why I didn't get into rifftrax πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Look how they massacred my boy Londo.

First real character I remember in sci-fi. He's a highfalutin blowhard from a noble house, who's fucking broke and has to lose two of his wives.

Then he picks the one that treats him the worst because she lies the least.

Then he goes on to sell his soul to make his planet great again which of course if goes all monkey paw on him.

The dude is a walking pile of contradictions. There's nobody like him in star trek sadly.

Option 2 was known even at the time and appears as a joke in the dilbert cartoon.

This is a clip of dilbert waking to a 7-of-9 alarm clock which proceeds to roast him.

Perhaps you're right, Captain. Perhaps I'm insensitive to the bond between you and your subservient quadruped.

I love it when Phlox tells Archer how it is.

Wow Really? I enjoy Phillip Glass but I had no idea. What can I search for to learn more? "14.4baud phillip glass" is giving me nothing πŸ˜”

Knoppix wow, a whole OS on a cdrom. My first foray into Linux, I think read about it an issue of MaximumPC (or maybe it was Maxim)

I felt like such a sorcerer when I crossed the threshold from just burning bootleg media to burning and running an ephemeral operating system.

Thanks for reminding me knoppix is still alive and kicking

I haven't read any of the long sun books but I feel like I understand that feeling. Fwiw, I first finished all 4 books and was only satisfied with the end of book 3. Thankfully there's so much meat between those endings that it kept me going.

That disappointment is what made me realize that I must have missed some important details and start an immediate reread.

Once I started over on the first book it was amazing to realize how the clues are just everywhere. I'm reading the exact same words, but this time they're hitting way harder.

 

These episodes live rent-free in my head.

 

They cranked it up way past 10, all the way to 24.

 

I look at you, and I see the person I was three years ago. The explorer that my father wanted me to be. I lost something out there, and I don't know how to get it back.

This one hit me hard after everything that happened.

 

I'm finding it a very root-beer-flavored entry in the franchise.
