They did so well to avoid any Trek or Star Wars tropes even when they invented their space ships. Jack had just the right balance Samantha was one up on the thinking manā€™s crumpet. Great show. ---

Tge War between the Land & tge Sea. Oh yes, this is Dr Who without the Doctor, without woke shit, and written for grown ups Unit, Kate Lethbridge Stewart, Sea Devols and not for kids. Decent production values as well. No cardboard sets in a quarry ---

Pluribus continues Episode 7 is bat shit mental, as in how do you come up with that? At every level, from the MG Midget into the observations of loneliness and mental decay. Quite different from anything and very very good, Appleā€™s biggest ever audience ---

Only one episode of Pluribus left this season. I do not expect to see the hive mind business wrapped up in one season - but I am looking forward to seeing Manusos catch up with Carol. The translated title of the finale is ā€œThe Girl or the Worldā€. ---

The War between the Land & the Sea was a missed opportunity. It needed to be grittier. However, it was streets ahead of (most) recent woke shit Dr Whoā€™s. It was teenager shit instead of scare 10 year old level shit from RTD Pluses? The Green message was well done (so didnā€™t need to be woke) And Kate Lethbridge-Stewart received the front of stage that she has deserved since forever. And owned it. Pick it Upā€¦ Yeah it hovered around the shit level but this took it to not quite levels ![image](https://discourse-sotonians-uploads.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/3X/0/0/00dbc6eafb4d11fd3e66ca51aa43471659eb5c9a.jpeg) ---

Season one of Pluribus is done and out there - Apple put it out early to avoid a Christmas clash. An excellent episode although it was the opening bit which really got me, going further than anything else to illustrate what the hive mind really is. That little baby goat deserved better. ---

Sadly that bit could have been more a Llama ingā€¦ But itā€™s goat promise Most other streamers would have cut those 9 episodes down to about 3. The snails pace makes the whole vibe work so well. Excellent again from Apple ---
