Artemis201, to Babylon5
@Artemis201@mstdn.social avatar

I'm watching and we're near the end of season 1.
Definitely discount DS9 so far. They sure did include an episode where the creepy 50-something alien dude decided to introduce another character to strip clubs and gambling, and the way he cheats at poker is using some sort of prehensile sticky tentacle-like appendage to reach across under the table and steal cards from the dealer.
Later confirmed, yes. That sure was a sex organ.
I'm glad that kind of humor has mostly died.

@Artemis201 "discount DS9"? Well, in one sense you are correct. JMS didn't have money. Esp. after he pitched to Trek producers (and he had spent years pitching B5 everywhere) and they said no and then they went and created a show based on a space station anyways, with almost the same general story arc, and even stole the name Dukat. So, no, didn't have Trek money. The irony is is the best Trek series of them all and it was completely plagiarized.

What’s better for the climate: A paper book, or an e-reader?

"Traditional print publishing comes with a high carbon footprint.

[...]

But digital reading seems to have a considerable eco-advantage over print because it is paperless, so it saves trees, pulping and shipping [...] But digital devices also come with a substantial carbon footprint, predominantly at the manufacturing stage."
