Yay!

Up production of gas to profit off the surge in demand seems likely.

I agree with you actually, death is an inevitability and we’re obsessed with pretending it’s not.

However from a civilization standpoint, maybe we can come up with some sort of alternative than letting folks pass away alone and not be found for weeks. Allowing people to choose the time and manner of their deaths is a start–who wants to painfully die from a metastatic liver tumor?

The only book they could maybe get right is Consider Phlebas and maybe The State of the Art stories. Anything that features The Culture heavily would be a nightmare.

It’s a shame, Look to Windward is a beautiful story.

Special Circumstances :)

I also bounced off of LD at first… The first few eps are tough, seems like they were still getting their footing.

I enjoy the references, and bringing back monster of the weeks, expanding lore, etc. Also the characters are actually pretty great when you start to get to know them.
