secunit in space

#1 robot and outer space fan. Sci-fi enjoyer. I don’t shut up about Murderbot.

Of course they don’t like Milly Alcock’s Supergirl. She’s a grown ass woman with zero love interests who spends the movie saving her dog, casually dismantling a sex trafficking ring while she’s at it, and preaching the importance of being good, not nice or smiley or cheerful but good. I for one adored the movie and I really hope I’ll get to see more of Alcock’s Supergirl she’s now my favorite iteration of her and I love her so dearly.

New Murderbot Q&A has dropped with the show’s incredibly talented production designer Sue Chan. Season 2 filming is mentioned!

my feeling with regards to the billie piper cliffhanger was like 'well it's stupid but i suppose if this is what it takes to secure the show's ongoing existence it will be worth it'. consequently i now feel comfortable saying: that was simply fucking stupid wasn't it

[how-masterful]

I don't know how to feel about all of this information right now. Without a doubt the special would've been a disaster and caused far too many problems, yet I somehow can't help but feel i'm watching the light in the eyes of a corpse slowly dim. This show means too much to me to not be heartbroken, despite the grim relief. This will take a bit to process. Yeah

Andy Weir's subgenre of science fiction being "what if everything works out despite the odds and caring for others is the thing that saves the world?" makes so much sense when you find out he's a diehard Doctor Who fan

This is how I feel about people calling Martha Wells a slave apologist or whatever, because her enslaved characters exist in well established systems of oppression and aren’t falling over themselves to lead the charge to end said systems.

Like it’s a series of personal diaries about a person learning how to person and find themselves/people to call friends and family.

Not every oppressed persons story has to be about dismantling the system that fucked them over. It can be them working the system to get what they want. It can be them finding people willing to help them move more freely within dangerous spaces. It can be them having their own harmful biases challenged. It can be them learning to trust others despite it all. It can be them realizing their suffering doesn’t make them a good person and sometimes they just aren’t. And if they want to be that shit takes effort. Especially in a universe where violence is always one of the first options and the rich are destroying literal planets for greed.

And Murderbot is not happily owned by Mensah. It says this repeatedly through the series. I don’t know why critics say that it is. Mensah is just 1000% more preferable compared to the company or any corporate. I see critics laser in on the inequality bots and constructs face but no one mentions how indentured humans have it just as bad or worse.

Pls. Yes tmbd is set in a capitalistic hellscape of exploitative labor and abuse. But that doesn’t mean the main narrative has to be about rebellion and the exploration of how to dismantle those systems. It can be about people doing their best within their current restraints.

If you want uprisings and rebellions The Murderbot Diaries are not that. Find something more your cup of tea instead of criticizing media in bad faith and calling the author names and a horrible person because they didn’t write the story you wanted.

The Murderbot Diaries are a power fantasy about being aromantic and still developing extremely important dedicated emotionally intimate partnerships where you are a top priority in a person's life, equal to their other family or romantic attachments despite your own emotional difficulties. And having guns in your arms
