@stsquad@mastodon.org.ukWe've been pacing ourselves watching #blackmirror because there is only so much bleak dystopian sci-fi we can absorb in one go. Last night's episode was "Hotel Reverie" which was actually semi-uplifting in the end. Combined with the happy-ish ending of "Bête Noir" we might even get to the end of the season not totally depressed about the future of humanity.

AVON: That's one misfortune we don't have to share.
VILA: Fourteen I was when I was first sent to a penal colony. Ship was hit in the main drive by a meteoroid, bang! Y'know what they did to repair it? [Avon and Tarrant begin to look at Vila. As he continues they move in, listening to him.] Activated the force wall and generated an atmosphere inside the force wall so the repair team could work in a vacuum without spacesuits, 'caus…

SOOLIN: Do you think they planned that explosion?
AVON: Not this time. This was just a happy accident. But now the Federation is aware of the potential of Feldon power systems. Orac?

ORAC: No. It was a priority one - for automatic relay to the senior officer present.
BLAKE: Orac, I want more information. I want to know everything there is to know about this man Coser; I want to know how he got out of the base; and I want to know what IMIPAK is.

@teledyn@mstdn.caWe need a sci-fi series like Star Trek TNG, but instead of Data being super logical as were the computers of that era, our updated Data is an LLM and Starfleet foists these on starship commanders because, 52% of the time, they are brilliant.
Note: this must not be a comedy.

DAYNA: So how could Egrorian have planted it aboard?
AVON: He must have reprogrammed that automatic landing bay of his.
SOOLIN: And you moved it on your own?
AVON: I couldn't find Vila.
VILA: I'm glad about that.

@oligneisti@social.linux.pizzaI saw a recommendation from Robin Hobb about the first book of the Murderbot series by @… yesterday and since I was between books I jumped right in.
Having read the first one I am excited to keep going. Funniest sci-fi I've read in years.

CALLY: [Nodding] I think I can guess.
JENNA: It is a trap, isn't it?
CALLY: Avon thinks so.
JENNA: Well Avon always thinks so.
