Are there any fans of Season 1 who also like Season 2? I loved S1 and want to watch S2 but notice the IMDb ratings for S2 are way lower (of course that’s not definitive proof of it being worse)

I don't think Jerry Boyd is a human. I suspect he might be an AI which has no conceptofmoney, or these novels might have been written in year 3500, and Jerry might be a time traveler. Why? Well, installing inertia dampeners to fux FTL jolts, and tweaking the engines for 50% more speed, parts and labor, they charge only 2 bloody ounces of gold. Price of gold (highest) in 2022 was $1921. I know what my mechanic charges for an oil change and tire rotation. And yet spaceship FTL and engine costs less than an engine of a car lmao

I don't know why authors make these moronic decisions to use numbers that are either way too low or outrageously high. It really throws me out of the loop. The whole point of reading a book is to get lost in the world they create, and yet they throw a curveball which drags out put of the book; completely jarring.

I know it was just a short part of it but I thought it was really well done, it definitely was an interesting take on low gravity combat (zero gravity combat has obviously been done a lot)

Are there any other movies that do this particular really well?

My girlfriend doesn't know anything about Star Trek and is up for trying a few episodes. What's the best intro episodes?

I feel like I'm too close to it to know what someone unfamiliar with it would like.

Starting off with TNG Encounter at Farpoint seems like a decent approach but S1 and S2 seem so iffy and I'm not sure if Farpoint has that issue too (but I'm too close to it to see it the jank).

We actually live very far in what I would perceive to be the future, the year is not 2024, I have been lied too since birth. Everyone has advanced neuralinks and can communicate through that method. Its not magic, just advanced technology/science. Society is structured very differently than what I have been told.

I do have a neuralink but its function is intentionally very limited and I can’t read others thoughts (most of the time) but others can read mine, as I am part of a very long, probably non consenting clinical trial that involves how a human reacts to being raised from birth in a society that can read minds but the subject cant and is restricted to a very small tightly controlled environment most of the time.

What stress will this cause the subject to develop? How long will they be able to cope, what coping strategies may the employ?

Title explains itself. Are there any good sci-fi books with human-alien relations? Preferably tailored to the perspective of a male reader (without being very male gaze-y, yknow?) Any suggestions are appreciated! Thank you!

Hey guys, what are some of the best Space Scifi books, games and Shows? emphasis on shows.. Been playing Mass Effect Trilogy and it’s truely got me back in the space Scifi mood.. looking for shows that haven’t aged badly or recent. I think that fun crew on a ship going planet to planet exploring or doing missions etc type vibe with diverse alien life and biomes.. Any suggestions?

My favorite series is the first 6 dune books. Read them all and don’t regret it at all.

Talk to me: what are your thoughts and feelings about sci-fi short stories? Short story series? Versus novels? What do you prefer? Why?

Who are some of your favorite short story authors, if you like to read them?

Are there topics you prefer for short stories? Space settings, dystopian worlds, time travel?

I just watch Rebel Moon, its f garbage. I have high hopes because it was directed by Znyder but the story was very disappointing. The story was like written by the 12yo kid.

The war scene alone is so freaking unrealistic, 0.1/10. Side characters was not hit by multi laser guns on point blank ranges. They just run straight to soldiers and was not hit. The farmers even attack the soldiers with melee farmer weapons and won.

I dont suggest you all to watch it.

Or was that only in Trek?

I had my post removed on the actual Dune reddit so I figured I would post it on here and try to get some answers! When they talk to each other through Paul and Chani they are talking about the golden path. Why does Leto want to do this? Is it because he knew Paul saw it and wants to fulfill it? I know there is probably another reason that I’m not supposed to know but for now is that what I’m supposed to believe? Also do they see the golden path as a way of avoiding possession like Alia? Thank you!
