Wooooaaaah! Thanks Crow!

Hee hee, me too.

Of course! I hope you find a way to enjoy Who. It is a lovely universe. The other idea would be to look into Big Finish audio—they do a lot of interesting Who stuff.

If you like the lore but watching it makes you want to stab your eyes out, look into the Target novelisations. They are mostly faithful to what was on the TV, and you get to use your imagination instead of BBC’s production values. They were usually written by the same person who wrote the script. I actually prefer the novels for several stories and was really, really disappointed when I finally had a chance to see them. A big bonus is the Target books are pretty cheap and easy to find used.

It’s definitely something that you have to grow up with. I was lucky to have an uncle who was obsessed with The Fourth Doctor when I was a child, and my love of the show comes from that. I wish some of the older stuff could be redone: it’s unwatchable for many because it was made for an audience who had tiny black and white TVs and a great deal more patience.

At least for me:

Dr. Who (First through Fifth Doctor mostly)

Original Star Trek

Star Trek: TNG

Star Trek: Voyager

Star Trek: DS9

Yeah! I love that!!

“Theresa’s Sound World” by Sonic Youth is the first to come to mind. The whole of Daydream Nation could probably count, honestly.

“Everything in its Right Place” by Radiohead (edit: idiot autocorrect) is another one I’ve often taken an audio bath in. Much of that album works too. I just hate the final song.

Sadly, Star Wars mostly just reflects one single white man’s subconscious understanding of that culture (George Lucas). Just in the fact that Trek was written by many (yes, Roddenberry was very important but not the only voice) makes it more interesting, at least to me.

Hey there, your link isn’t working because the exclamation point is connected to the previous word. Yes, I know how to get there otherwise, but it might help others.

I keep seeing your username, and I just have to tell you I love it. I have now spent time considering the implications of a sentient loom, and I will continue to do so because they are so vast. Thank you.

It’s Lemmy! Lemmy! Lemmy lemmy lemmy!

I really enjoyed reading your thoughts. I have been trying to do much of the same as far as mindfulness and not forcing things. Listening to myself and the universe. Unfortunately, this will probably get deleted because this is not the appropriate community. I’m not really sure what community would be best, but I hope I find that community somewhere on Lemmy! @[email protected], do you have any ideas what would be an appropriate community?
