The Artemis NASA
mission has a mascot named Rise — a stuffy that acts as a zero-G indicator.
At a certain angle, it’s face looks a lot like a favourite bone-drinking horror called Moopsy.

Пироги are always a great choice!
I can’t figure out whether the Shaw that is in Axis Mundi circa 1962-1982 is actually trying to communicate or whether it’s the case that, whatever Shaw and Suzuki did with their attempt to call a Titan, caused the problems that Shaw’s team faced when they arrived in Axis Mundi.
I found this interesting
In what we hear was a congenial atmosphere very different from the later years of Carol Lombardini’s reign at the AMPTP, the organization and the WGA leadership started talks in mid-March. “We’ve been talking about all these issues in a very collaborative way,” a labor insider told Deadline of the tone between Executive Director and chief negotiator Ellen Stutzman and the AMPTP in the room at SAG-AFTRA HQ the past few weeks.
Compared with a couple of years ago, the industry side seems more interested in keeping things moving than pushing back on labour demands.
Definitely a YMMV situation.
Many episodes that may be described as ‘filler’ are ones that have side adventures or character development. Farscape isn’t rigidly serialized. Just because it’s not moving the main plot narrative doesn’t mean it’s filler.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is very much more realistic in tone than the movies that take place later in the continuity, including the two you’ve seen.
It takes place before the earlier movie Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019).
It might be worth checking out even if kaiju aren’t usually your thing.
Another episode that hits right to the last beat.
Did anyone expect that result? Even after what was highlighted in the recap?
Unintended consequences seem to be the legacy in every generation.
Keiko seems to be the only one with the ability to foresee the potential risks and outcomes , but she’s also the one who, due to her own risk taking, spent more than half a century in Axis Mundi.

Coming back to add that, if you like character-driven stories, but have never thought that kaiju might be your thing, Monarch: Legacy of Monsters now in its second season on AppleTV might be for you.
The show takes place in the middle of the Monsterverse continuity that currently has the licence for Toho’s Godzilla monsters. It’s an entry point nonetheless. You needn’t have ever seen anything in this continuity or others to get into it.
It’s less focused on fighting Titans than on the mystery of understanding them, the weird science fiction efforts humanity uses to share a world with them, and most of all the characters whose lives are intertwined with the mystery.
Babylon 5’s is great if you like serialization. The first season is very weak due to a major health crisis in the principal character that occurred between the shooting of the pilot and the launch of the series. The story was adjusted so that a new station head and actor could take on the lead.
Farscape is an absolute gem and a wild ride. It really picks up after the first 12 episodes. It’s so incredibly influential on so many science fiction shows in the streaming era that it’s worth watching just for that alone. Be aware that the show was canceled before it could wrap up its full arc. A limited series was made later to wrap up the storyline — make sure you’ll be able to be able to get it.
I’m a fan of many of the old 1960s and 1970s shows but watching them really depends on your tolerance for older production styles and scripting. Space 1999 is worth tracking down for sure.
In terms of more recent shows, three serialized shows that involved time travel that actually stuck the landing are Continuum, Travelers, and 12 Monkeys. All are very good, with strong ensembles, but reflect the darker sci-fi trend of the 2010s.
Amazon took on another 3 seasons of The Expanse with about 130k, Netflix did an additional full 20 episode season of *Star Trek: Prodigy with 35k.
More than that, 32.5 k is a lot for one of these petitions in this amount of time. We don’t know what it will level off at.
The rate of signings is accelerating, with nearly 5k in the past 24 hours.
I wished they’d used an official image. It’s really odd.
But it was the first petition up so it’s the one with traction.
This one is coming up on my rewatch list.
I’ll resist looking that stuff up.
My thought was ‘centre as compared to what’?
The Overton window has been intentionally moved over the past decade, Even before, that what might be considered ‘centre’ in the US, even ‘centre-left’ didn’t align well with other OECD countries.
