An experimental gate technique strands unlikely survivors on an ancient ship.

A fair show. That’s pretty much all I can say about it, really. It has some significant presentation of humans being human, which is rare and special.

A family is lost in space.

It’s not bad, but the tone bothers me. It’s so tryhard “epic” that it’s strained.

Its first impression is that it’s sort of Star Trek parody-thing, it quickly unfolds into its own unique space-adventure-drama.

Fantastic originality and mood. Recommended, rapidly approaching highly recommended.

Verdict: While it’s good, it’s not great, at least not for me. I got bored in the first couple of episodes of season two. Definitely recommended for anyone who enjoyed the first several episodes.

Like other shows these days, I became interested in this purely because “those people” “hate” it.

The Ice Pirates - (1984 movie) poster

In the far future, the scarcity of water prompts pirates to steal ice, but they are swept up into a rebellion.

Swashbuckling-and-blasters, this movie is cheezy without being funny. I think it has some cult following merely because there wasn’t much of interest back then, and this style of movie was popular for reasons outside of quality entertainment. This is like some sort of movie version of shitposting.

Absolutely not recommended, as it doesn’t tick any boxes outside of nostalgia.

Build and expand a space-faring race who learns they are not alone in the universe.

Master of Orion – (1993 game) but with updated graphics and a confusing interface. I expect would have loved this in the past, but now it’s just awkward. I’ll still tag this as ‘liked’, as it’s pretty good. It’s very hard in the eyes. Take a lot of breaks.

Extremely stupidly hard.. and confusing. I’m shelving it. I only paid $12 USD for it, so it’s not a big loss.. still, I wish the UI was better and the tutorial was better and the gameplay was better..

A ship malfunctions, and a passenger on a deep-space voyage to a new colony is woken from hibernation early.

Good and not good at the same time. It works out quite well, and has a good overall tone to it, but the story itself is sad.

A guy who builds the technology to turn dirt into water goes to Mars, and even though he knows the ship better than anyone else, somehow, he has trouble on the way.

A patient, somewhat interesting movie. Worth watching if you’re into such things, but definitely not if you’re new to this style.

I watched the whole thing, and don’t really regret it, but I wouldn’t categorize this as anywhere near awesome.
