Update, the SF Edition
Apr. 9th, 2026 01:03 pmWe saw Project Hail Mary last Saturday at the cinema and really enjoyed it. I managed to avoid spoilers (I have the audio book on reserve) and it was particularly lovely in concert with all the delightful Artemis II updates I've been following.
I also listened to the Becky Chambers novella To Be Taught, If Fortunate, which has less people dying in space but otherwise similar themes, and I recommend it. As an audiobook I found it meditative and soothing.
While I was sick the dude and I watched a lot of Classic Doctor Who, mostly Four and Five. It was a lot of fun, and we found we can order the new Blu-Ray sets from the UK cheaper than they're available here (my BIL calls it the Australia Tax). I'm trying to remember if Adric was a fake from Castrovalva, or if he was swapped out later. Anthony Ainley makes a decent Master. *g*
I watched a couple of episodes of Resident Alien with the lad, but I gather that ( spoilers ) so I don't know if I'll manage to keep watching it.
I read a delightful Star Wars/Indiana Jones mashup and it's the only Sequel I now want!
Yesterday I picked up a pre-owned copy of the second season of Blake's 7, which I am nerdily excited about.
In conclusion, spaaaaaaaace!
