Yeah it’s a popcorn show. You watch it to relax your brain. It’s entertaining as a Xena episode, and the production feels as cheap as Xena’s.

But if you’ve read the books you’re wondering what the hell is happening. And it doesn’t make you want to read them. That’s the lamest part. A show based on books should make you want to read them at some point. I mean, if you adapt them to screen, they must have been loved by a lot of people…

The show is based on the universe and some characters created by Asimov but it’s freely adapted. You’ll have to see the TV shows and the books as two entities, there are a few similarities, Easter eggs, etc. But they’re different and both great IF you’re not looking for a translation from text to screen.

The TV series is eerily beautiful, the story is better in S2 and more complex. Great cast too and on a “small” budget.

I love the series and I love the books. It’s just not for book purists but they’ve made a really good take on the universe and it’s also beautiful.

Padme dying during labor. In an advanced medical tech universe. And the lamest explanation for it “she’s lost the will to live”…

Well that’s not how girls work and it’s quite a telling the script was written by a bloke.

I always carry a small Victorinox Navaja classic swiss army knife linked to a small Fenix torch E01. It fits inside the lighter pocket of my jeans.

Also always carry a handkerchief (fabric, not disposable).

As mentionned already, I usually also have earplugs in my jacket or bag. A Go-Girl is a must have too when traveling if you don’t have a pee-pee.

They’re cool af. Look at those colours! And the ergonomics.

I leave water bowls for them during summer.

They’re not exactly friendly but when you observe them enough you can judge if you’re annoying them and should gtfo. Most of the time they just mind their own business.

The closest in features would be Infomaniak.
