And the ship is beautiful too! (And thankfully eventually stopped being frightened at everything, they must have had trouble thinking "what other responses can a living ship have to this situation?") I am trying to persuade ghost_of_a_flea to watch it with me, but he has an unreasonable prejudice against muppets/TV series he saw bits of as a teenager or something, and is holding out.

While I'm bitching about grey sci-fi, the other trend that annoys me is dark Macbeths. Yes, we know that it's a dark play, that there's a lot of darkness in the language. Now could you give us something interesting to look at, please, or at the very least, something we can actually see in the murk.
