What did you think of Dune Prophecy in the end @stpaultim?

I really enjoyed it. Making the Bene Gesserit the focus made it a very different story from the first Dune novel the two recent films were based on. Much like Andor season 2, it starts slowly. As you say;

> So many characters to introduce and so much world building to do

... but by the third episode I was hooked. I haven't enjoyed a speculative fiction series this much since mid-era Game of Thrones.

hate American cop procedural, law & order and all that copaganda yet am kinda obsessed with british crime mysteries. Sherlock Holmes is my first love, but my most recent obsession is Father Brown ―based on the character created by GK Chesterton, who was a character by himself.

been wondering why. why do i hate gringo cop shows but not brit crime mysteries? cuz though Miss Marple, Poirot, Father Brown, even Sherlock aren’t cops by employment, they’re still cops. or am i wrong?

Just updated Tvmarks to have a proper render.yaml file so you can go to render.com and launch a new Tvmarks instance. You really only need to set an admin password!

Currently an instance will cost $7.25 a month on render.com.

https://dashboard.render.com/select-repo?type=blueprint

https://github.com/stefanhayden/tvmarks

In the future I will record a video showing how to get it set up on render.com

Sling TV offers a new $20 bundle for budget streamers - here's what's included https://zdnet.com/home-and-office/home-entertainment/sling-tv-offers-a-new-20-bundle-for-budget-streamers-heres-whats-included/ by @sjvn

Sling TV's new low-end streaming #TV offer only includes a few channels, but when combined with its free package, Sling FreeStream, that might be all you need.

@TopKnot I go to Chattanooga on a regular basis, and I like it as a shopper and a tourist. It's a great place to visit, lots of good food, lots of things to see.

I had a friend who lived there, who's partner was violently attacked and carjacked in front of their home, which is to say: It's a city, and it has all the great parts about being a city but also all the bad parts.

@ajroach42 @TopKnot Signal Mountain in Chattanooga has a strong #TV broadcast presence it reaches a lot of people in 3 states. I don't know if that's relevant to what you do or not just #FYI. I've watched New Ellijay TV I like it they used to have some offbeat TV programming out of Chattanooga when I was young.

Correlated #QuestionOfTheDay what's a piece of media that on paper fits everything you like/fits your politics/morality/etc that people recommend you but that just doesn't click with you?

#QuestionOfTheDay what's a piece of media you like that for whatever reason (hasn't aged well, problematic, disturbing, offensive, very niche, pornographic, creator sucks, etc) you basically can't show anybody?

(For me it's the movie Major League)

I'd forgotten how good the Issues comedy shows were. Watching them now reminds me of the topical issues and the politicians and media figures who talked about them;

There were numerous variants, beginning with 1990 The Issues, with an ensemble cast of up and coming comics, led by veterans David Mcphail and Jon Gadsby. 1990 was followed by Bumper Issues, More Issues, and so on.

I can't remember seeing season 3 of Dark Matter the first time I watched the series, but I definitely don't remember a big cliffhanger ending followed by ... cancellation 😭

Imagine The Expanse being cancelled after 3 seasons. Or Orphan Black. Why? Why?!?

I thought at least there were comics it was based on, and I could read those to find out how the story ends. But it seems there were only 4, telling the story of the first few episodes of season 1. Gutted.
