>>23139 Normally we don't because it's an office where people are always on the phone.
But with being down to a skeleton staff due to coronaids we've been allowed to have a radio on.
Fucking kisstory.
Pop music is so incredibly shite and formulaic it's driving me mental. Just a few catchy bits repeated over and over and over and over again.
I was not exactly disappointed, but I also wasn't as happy with it as I expected to be. While the 90 minute format could definitely work I don't think that the story they went with had enough substance to sustain it. What did we get really? We met the cat people after twelve seasons and we learn bugger all about them, they could have done the same basic episode substituting the three cat people for three [insert random race here] and there wouldn't have been much quantitative difference.
Anyone who's seen the mock up for Identity Within (
Ideally they need to end it.
Do a proper final episode or two to resolve the overarching story of getting home and finding Kochanski etc, before one of them cops it. I know it's essentially devolved into a no continuity series of sketches now, but it did have a plot in the beginning.
All of the essential plot points built over the first two series were largely forgotten after the series three "reboot"*.
* Yes I know it wasn't a reboot per se but the tone of the show changed completely and a lot of previous plot (i.e. turning around and going back to earth) was pushed to the back burner in and replaced with general space shenanigans; even the series two cliff-hanger that would have taken us deeper into the plot established back in "Future Echoes" was resolved off screen.
I don't know, the series' overall arc calls into question the necessity of its premise. Lister has already lived a full and meaningful life, and fathered and mothered children, including himself. Earth is probably barren of humanity. Going back to his 23rd century might be a nice retirement option for him, but I think his personal arc is to come to terms with being the last living human in his universe, rather than changing that fate for himself.
