Decades late.<br /> <br /> And... I think it's the best TV show ever.<br /> <br /> It's beautiful, it's about something *and* it's entertaining.<br /> <br /> Every line of dialogue is delightful. It has this lyrical, rhythmic quality to it and sometimes character go into full-on Shakespearean soliloquies without, somehow, that feeling jarring.<br /> <br /> And it's very much about what it means to be a social creature and the striving to have a society and what that means, how things become imbued with shared meaning, and how it affects people.<br /> <br /> And it's *funny*. But not in a way that can be explained or recounted cos it emerges so much from character and situation.<br /> <br /> I fucking love it.<br /> <br /> Only downside is that it ends without a conclusion, cancelled after series 3. Which I'm okay with, there was no mystery to resolve or particular narrative arc to conclude, it's so much about the ongoing process of birthing a society that I can just imagine that continuing without me and be content.<br /> <br /> There is a movie, which probably felt different for those who were waiting *years* for more than it did to me who watched it immediately after the last episode. For them I'm sure it was a long-awaited revisit. For me it was just a gentle epilogue. It lacked the pith and fire of the show but was a nice goodbye to beloved characters.<br /> <br /> 150/10<br /> <br /> Thanks for the recommendation, Milko!</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=43059.1&return_msg=43059.1" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="43059.1"> <span class="rating">+1/1</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a43059_2"></a><div class="message" id="message_43059_2"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">15 Sep 10:46</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Drew (X3N0PH0N) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 15 Sep 11:54"></span></span> <span class="message_count">2 of 37</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43059.2">43059.2</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=43059.1#a43059_1" target="_self">43059.1</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Deffo an awesome series.
