To be fair, they pulled this with DS9, first. Slow, thoughtful intro theme, set to a nice visuals? NOT ENOUGH NOISE, ADD TAMBOURINE MAYBE JINGLE BELLS, ONE TEMPO ONLY, SHINK SHINK SHINK SHINK! 🎺 BWAA BWAA BWAA BWAAAA! 🎺
Sorry, I’m still annoyed.

Man, every house I’ve lived in had these, except now, not in the one I own. Welp, time to replace all the generic shit with slightly yellowed, swirly faceted acrylic! And at least one has to have a weird crack in it.
Also, just a fantastic show. Feels like time to do a re-watch, being reminded of it, and though I don’t have fancy speakers, I’ll have to pay extra attention to the audio.
I wish he’d also called it planet Thagomizer, instead.
Can confirm, unfortunately. We’re not laughing, but we are relieved.
I just keep it to my phone, and have an app timer set for 1 hour +5 minutes. It’s nice if I’m at home, I know it’ll cover my daily walking steps, as I pace donuts around the house, which also gets me off my ass and moving, so when I want to browse Lemmy, I try to do so whilst pacing. Regardless, when I get the notification saying the app will shut down in 5 minutes, I know how long I’ve been on, and kinda do a self-reflective check on how well the time was spent.
If I’m writing a comment that will take time and attention, though, I often just switch to a note, and copy/paste, cause I’ll work on something like that for much longer, before often deciding not to post anything, at all. (งツ)ว
Durka! I thought about his character, too, but I couldn’t remember the actor’s darn name, or character name, only that he also fucked up Moya and her crew, lol. I can absolutely see their resemblance, most definitely. So many menacing pale dudes in great sci-fi shows
Are you maybe thinking of the also fabulous Wayne Pygram (Scorpius), or Shane Briant (Kaarvok)? Cause Steven Berkoff (Hagath), even though he would’ve fit right in, wasn’t on FS, unfortunately… Unless there’s a joke or another reference which I’m missing, which is also 100% possible, lol
I’d buy that for a dollar! Seriously…can I…can I buy it?
Excuse me, while I look at his expression for more than five seconds and start tearing up…
Oh, heck yeah, glad for more! - I’ve enjoyed this one, so far. The first episode of good ol’ weird spooky and gore hooked us. It’ll be interesting to see where they go with all the ridiculous nonsense laid out. Enjoying the casting, too, and a neat setting. Maybe a little derivative, but not to its detriment, yet - nice to watch, and not take too seriously.
I have a lot of weird food habits thanks to years of eating disorders and just generally being a fucking weirdo, but lately I enjoy mixing a couple tablespoons of raw coconut flour with just enough sugar-free Torani s’mores flavored syrup to give it a cookie dough texture, and a bit of salt. It’s like a bowl of sugar cookie dough my delusional need to stay too-thin doesn’t feel terrible about, and since the artificial sugar and citric acid isn’t a great reaction with my meds, I only have it from time to time. 100% do(n’t) recommend!
Yes. I suggest Asimov’s recommended reading order, from I, Robot through Foundation and Earth, including the Empire trilogy. Keep in mind some were written decades apart, regardless of series chronology, so the tone may shift due to the era written and Asimov’s growth as a writer, which can be jarring for a couple pages (primarily getting to the Empire novels, but still great little stories, and I enjoyed the continued lore).
As an avid reader, particularly sci-fi, it’s my very favorite series, from start to finish, and I’d recommend it to anyone - personally, Foundation itself might be my least liked of the group, though that may be for it being a collection of stories put together from the magazines, I found it mildly disjointed, (and I have a tendency to confuse certain character names in that one, haha), but I appreciated it more when my spouse listened to them all on audiobook (PS. Scott Brick is a wonderful Asimov narrator).
Regardless of which, and how you may read them, I hope you enjoy them!
I would like to subscribe to Skeleton Facts.
There’s always velcro? Though you may not want to attach it directly to the wall because of paint, you could probably use it to attach something for hanging, to the back. I recently mounted a nearly 10lb, 48"x24" white board directly to a metal door with a single package of adhesive mounting velcro. It wasn’t even intentional, I had a whole over-the-door hook plan worked out for its mounting holes, using the velcro to keep it level and from any movement, and it turned out to be plenty, shockingly strong enough.
It’s actually got me super excited for more hanging of weird things, cause I’ve gotten pretty good with Command Hooks, etc, and often find them wanting… Literally tonight, though I can’t prove the timeliness, had one fall off the wall, that wasn’t holding anything heavier than its load, just an old walking stick. Eventually, they die, and it seems the newer adhesive quality has become subject to enshitification, but I may also be a cynical shite. (งツ)ว
Holy shit, this is for real. The last post I saw with this guy, I thought it might be a eurojoke I didn’t quite understand, like the ramen on head memes, but oh nooooooo. ʘ‿ʘ
Can someone also explain ‘go brrr’, cause I just think of vibrating doorstop springs, but that can’t be right…
Jesus christ I hate that I heard this in my head and then remembered that whole fucking song. That’s some good shitposting, @TPM.
