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

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

Wot? There's swans in it?

Singin' Signets!

There's tidy!

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

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.

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

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

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

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