Frankly, you'll enjoy Foundaton more if you don't read the books first. Otherwise, you'll be sitting there shaking you head wondering why they continuously mangle the core concept of the books so badly, despite characters occasionally directly stating how it works (only for the same episode otherwise showing utter disregard for said statement)

Show was killed way to soon. It was pretty solid!
Season 1 was definitely the highlight of the show. But the later seasons were still pretty entertaining.
Dunno if Lexx is really worth it tbh. The original movies were worth watching just because it was so weird and different.
But if you were on the fence after those, well it doesn't really change. Just season after season of the same sort of plots...if you like that, it's great. If you don't, it's gonna get old really fast.
I rewatched all of Andromeda recently, and after a season and a half is was mostly awful, but it was occasionally entertaining.
I rewatched the first Lexx movie, remembered why I never finished the show the first time around, and moved on to something else.
This shit blows my mind....you try to pull that shit in a policy debate back in the day, it would pretty much be an instant loss.
At best you could try to run something like that as a counterplan, but you better have something more practical than philosophical if you intend to actually win.
Debate judges who judge in favor of these non-relevant arguments and disregard the principals of debate are really doing a disservice to debating in general.
Ehhh, not really. I don't really hang out with climate change deniers.
But, not specifically because they are climate change deniers...it's because climate deniers also tend to be a toxic mixture of authoritarian, sexist, racist, anti-science, conspiricist etc. At least in the US, you basically never find a person just one of those beleifs, you generally get the full deluxe collectors edition package.
Andromeda had such promise for a low budget SciFi show. The writing started out pretty good...then purple went gold and the writing IMMEDIATELY went to shit, no slow downward slide or anything. It was like a totally different show midway thru season 2, have never seen anything like it before or since.
Heck yeah, watched all of those, they were so fun. Cleopatra 2525 is one I had almost forgotten about, thanks for reminding me!
I feel like this would have been more true had it been posted 20-30 years ago. But while there's some sociopathic types in books today, it's a relatively small portion of the total.
I'd be curious to see what books in particular you have in mind, maybe from those published in the last month or so. I suspect what you really mean isn't sociopath, but non traditional-heroic-archetypes. Which I would agree with, protagonists these days tend to be more humanistic rather than god-like.
Honestly, mostly a non issue, if the email didn't contain any sensitive info.
Your email address isn't secret, and will be scraped up by spammers sooner or later anyway. Security by obscurity is basically no security at all.
The Empire focused half of the show that was mostly made up specifically for the show is EXCELLENT tho, and really worth watching.
They should have just stuck with that and called the show Empire IMHO. Would have been an instant classic.
