To be fair it’s much better than “the Irishman” that’s 3 hours I won’t get back

Oh...I quite fancied that. No good?

It would be good if about 90 mins long, but when you hit the 3 hour mark you wish you had much more gin

Might be better if watched it 1 hour segments

I was really looking forward to it, big let down

Ooooh sir! Me sir! I know sir! Please sir!

Speaking of merely showing off, have you any idea how ridiculously pompous and self inflated you sound?

Yes thanks. But we are debating literature after all...

Sounds like a porno to me sir

TMA2 was on Iapetus in the book and orbiting Jupiter in the film.

In "The Sentinel" apparently TMA2 was a "rough tetrahedron in a spherical force field".

That would have been a bit tricky in 1969, even more so than the original plexiglass monolith.

Meanwhile, in this reality, "we" haven't got out of LEO since 1972.

I quite enjoyed it for what it was imo, a swansong.

To be fair, we're still dealing with "ALL THESE WORLDS ARE YOURS, EXCEPT EUROPE."

Wot? There's swans in it?

Singin' Signets!

I had hopes this would be a good BBC drama, they're good at those. Was interested how this and Dark Materials turned out.

I would like to see a good modern remake of the Tripods.
