To be fair, it would be a boring show if they didn’t.
Ship enters orbit of a planet
‘Spock, what do our scans show?’
‘Intense geologic activity, no atmosphere, no life signs.’
Ship spends the next 3 months in orbit collecting data, moves on to the next target
‘Spock, what do our scans show?’
‘Planet is frozen, no geologic activity, no life signs.’

Realistic sci fi is waaayyy too boring.
In this political climate? Hell no, quite the opposite.
And this political climate is all about never allowing another political climate.
Nah, this is the natural, logical outcome of capitalism – a profit based society will always reward sociopaths.
To be fair, they’re not geniuses, they’re sociopaths, often with a hearty sprinkling of nepotism.
So of course they’re hoarding resources and pillaging. They don’t think the rest of us are actual people, and we only exist to be exploited.
Perhaps that’s part of my 180 on this – I was a software dev and senior UXD for 30 years.
Totally get you.
That people are smart.
Most people are abject morons who still believe in Iron Age mythology.
I taught my son to be a conscientious objector.
I caught hell for that, especially in conversations in my very, very small town where many people sent their kinds into this meat grinder.
I told my son he was too good for that, and some locals hate me for that. Like they thought I was saying my son was better than theirs.
No, I just understand the system, and I’m not going to groom my kid to be chopped meat.
You do you. That’s not beautiful to me, though, e: and my son is the most beautiful thing in the world to me.
I was answering this as a dev and designer. That’s why this is more work.
Of course he did. No reason to debate this here; we all know this is abominable and he is a monster.
Can we chat about how a malignant narcissist who is willing to commit atrocities and has apparently decided he’s going to hell anyhow (and has become kinda obsessed with that) has access to the largest nuclear arsenal on earth? With the walls closing in?
I keep trying to relate this to when we started mass-producing books. It must have been the same. We integrated that tech and got better.
I am not personally a fan right now.
Oh, then the dipshit is definitely going to try it.
Coding, documentation, whatever, that guy sucked
Coding, documentation, just in general.
Yeah, it kinda feels like you could do a very ‘boring’ science series just showing all of that. But I feel like that’s just ‘sci’ with no ‘fi’.
