So does anybody watch the TV show Legion?[/PLAIN]

It's set in a/the X-men universe from what I understand (I'm not too well versed in which different universes/spinoffs exist).
I don't consider myself to be a cinephile but this show is a work of art if you ask me.
I'm certain that I'll have to rewatch as I most often watch shows while doing other stuff be it reading fiction, drafting e-mails or reading more technical stuff.

What I can say is that the director uses a wealth of techniques to create a unique atmosphere unlike any I've encountered in any TV show or movie for that matter.

Last nights episode is particularly awesome. Those who watched it will know which part I'm talking about.

Anybody feels the same?

Hey, I'm watching it too. I also think it's really great produced. Which special part from last nights episode are you talking about?
I haven't even watched X-Men, so i had to google the background story to find out about the original "Legion" Character in the X-Men universe...
 
Only seen the first two epis. Demanding Boss Lady catch up so we can watch it together.

The silence was a great tool to build a captivating atmosphere.
 

Thread 'Stories about not so soft space fighters'

I wonder how much stories were written, that involve space fighters, and arent so soft as Star wars. I dont think missiles totally make fighter craft obsolate, for example the former cant escort shuttles if one wants to capture a celestial body. I dont insist fighters have to be manned (i enjoyed Enders game about someone control the events for afar) but i also think it isnt totally unjustifiable.

Thread 'Dune: Prophecy, what to read for additional story context?'

So far I've been enjoying the show but I am curious to hear from those a little more knowledgeable of the Dune universe as my knowledge is only of the first Dune book, The 1984 movie, The Sy-fy channel Dune and Children of Dune mini series and the most recent two movies. How much material is it pulling from the Dune books (both the original Frank Herbert and the Brian Herbert books)? If so, what books could fill in some knowledge gaps?

Thread 'Avatar (film): antigravity and unobtanium'

I thought I had discovered a giant plot hole in Avatar universe, but apparently it's based on a faulty notion. So, the anti-gravity effect that lifts whole mountains into the sky is unrelated to the unobtanium deposits? Apparently the value of unobtanium is in its property as a room temperature superconductor, which enables their superluminal drive technology. Unobtanium is found in large deposits underground, which is why they want to mine the ground. OK. So, these mountains - which...
