Raquella dies about 50 years after the machine war, the story starts after Valya has been leading about 50 years. If I got it right. They do learn to be longer lived, but it may have taken some time. In addition it might scare folk and they might not want to draw attention in that way. But yes, at some point they learn to detect developing cancers and so on. i wasn’t hugely impressed so far. I would also have guessed the galactic culture would have collapsed after the Butlerian Jihad. That they wouldn’t have the spice stuff in place. I get that there should be computers surviving all over, secretly in use. It seems like this should maybe take place 500 years later. I guess the idea is that the uprising only happened after space travel in another way was in place. I don’t remember the timeline, I haven’t read the Brian Herbert books.

That lizard gets a lot of work!

Hell, some don’t watch the shows and it doesn’t strike them at all! However canon and fanon are two different things. I do think the age of the actors, reason doesn’t matter, effectively changes the story. For some it may simply make it less problematical.

He’s superman. I mean, sure, if he hits him he will break his knuckles. But superman won’t hurt him. He wouldn’t, either.

He knows Clark won’t kill him. So he is just taunting him. Like throwing rocks at a caged tiger.

Dod anyone else think Janet might be Jimmy? Too bad, actually. Missed opportunity. Lex iff getting fitted for his suit?

I believe my contrxt was how it strikes viewers. The tv shows clearly are not porn. Per se, but the fan fiction often is, and ‘evidence’ is shows like Riverdale, wherr it is lampshaded by everyine sleeping with everyone, in groups.

The environment and human rights are both vulnerable. So many things.

My belief is that Trump is a puppet of people who are using him for their own ends. His recent moves have made this obvious. He has never shown much legislative education or subtlety. He is clearly easily manipulated with flattery. This is hugely frightening.

I think the perception of the economy was a factor. I don’t understand why they think people like Trump and his buddies like Musk have any interest in supporting cheap available housing, even if tariffs didn’t make materials to build unavailable (or really more expensive)and deportation didn’t get rid of many construction workers. How will food prices drop with the loss of seasonal farm workers and imports. How many of the cheaper clothes/shoes are or will be made in this country? So why they think it will help them, very odd. And medical costs, oh lord.

Apparently a lot of people want to be assholes. Angry, insulting, self righteous. Apparently social media was used to effect. I think, though, not just the stuff you list, but the permission to take it out on the street and yell about it at passing cars. Permission to insult possible immigrants because they are scum. Etc. permission to be a jerk.

Whew! farscape had a fantastic movie. Still bitter.

It would destroy the vacuum.

Lex isn’t a scientific genius. He pays geniuses. He is ruthless and manipulative.

I was so distr aed. Y how everything else fell away from lex and he was reveled to be exactly like my mother. How can they ll be the sme? But they are the same, and Elizabeth’s exit was also relatable. Breaking the cycle, indeed. The strong suit of this show. I loved Elizabeth’s tiny nod when he gave her the answer she expected. i wonder if that is yhe excess material frome Doomsday and bizarro will reappear. As if he shed a skin.
