Yeah I don't really enjoy reading Sci Fi because a lot of it is bleah.

I tend not to read "serious" SF now. I went through that phase 35 years ago.

Never hit that phase I suppose. I've read some eg Dune but no Aasimov, Niven, Arthur C Clarke.

Prefer reading fantasy vs watching it and other way around with Sci Fi.

On the big screen it looked absolutely amazing

Apart from the stuff on Terminus, which looks like it was shot in Doctor Who's gravel pit.

Yeah it's not that exciting.

I haven't seen episode 6, but episode 5 was a big meh from me.
Nothing new was conveyed. Seemed like a lot of filler.
Even Gaal's backstory didn't really give us new things to work with.

Pretty disappointed Ep 6 gave us NOTHING from Gaal.

Also, if I'm the bad guys, I just break Salvor Hardin's legs or whatnot. You can make her not a real danger, and keep her alive there at the end.....

Nah, wouldn't work.
