@compfu@mograph.socialI like how #Murderbot (AppleTV ) lampoons its human cast - which is a somewhat "hippie" science crew that includes a non-binary team member - without being mean or lame. The titular Murderbot sees the crew's traits (soft, icky & unpredictable) as annoying because to him they are human traits and the show creates funny situations in that universe. It's not the case that the…
@compfu@mograph.socialI really like the #Murderbot opening titles! CGI made to look like 3D-printed plastic puppets. Made by Elastic (elastic.tv).

@pre@boing.worldRead the first of Martha Well's Murderbot books, "All Systems Red" in which a security drone rescues it's crew from violence and death on the planet they're exploring.
The robot seems barely distinguished from the cyborgs and the humans really. Certainly organic parts, autonomy, inner life. Seems to not particularly like the humans but also seems to be pretty much like one.
Seemed short, like the first episode of a show rather than the whole series. Which I suppose I should have expected if I'd noticed it was a novella. There is indeed a whole series of them. Given I bought 'em in a bundle expect I'll read more.

@kctipton@mas.to#murderbot s1e10 -- WTAF? This is so gratuitious and far far from the book. A tight plot that makes sense is the right way, but these Weitz brothers lost the plot and are wrecking the story.
@stf@chaos.sociallast year i was blessed to read the #murderbot series by Martha Wells. last week i had the pleasure to watch the series based on the 1st book. if you want to read something cool go buy the #books, and as an appetizer go and watch the tv series. both have my blessing of approval.
@Jyoti@mas.toJust watched the season finale of #Murderbot and I am a lachrymose jelly, a sobbing pudding of tears.
arghhhhh
I didn't think the show would make me cry as much as the books.
I was wrong.

@kctipton@mas.toThere is a #Murderbot And More #ebook bundle at humblebundle for the next 12 hours. Plenty of #MarthaWells titles.
@kctipton@mas.to#murderbot I can't get over how this show is veering from the book. Did the Weitz brothers say "hey, wouldn't it be funny if SecBot did _this_?" and then write it into the show? The book was funny in the commentary, not in the actions of Secbot.
And, Gurathin, I'm sorry, but he has not fit in at all. He violated SecBot's privacy and Mensah's as well, and he prev…
