[ Murderbot has been settling in, if by settling in you mean sitting in a dark corner watching multiverse television with occasional forays into attempting to hack the network. The latter has already started backfiring, because this message was not meant to be posted publicly. ]

I can't believe this. Do you know how hard you hyped this publication to me? You directly implied this would be equal trade for Sanctuary Moon (I know it's slow for the first 89 episodes but then the first arc where the Colony Solicitor begins to investigate the death of the Terraforming Supervisor really kicks off). (Also if you just want to see characters have sex, there's plenty of that in the second half of Season 11 all the way through Season 22, I would know because I spent so much fucking time fast-forwarding to get to the arc with the secret clone babies.)

Frontline Titties of the Fifth doesn't even have a plot.

...first of all, er, my apologies but you appear to have posted this publicly.

Second of all, color me curious about this Sanctuary Moon business. I've always been fond of mystery shows... have you watched any Columbo, perchance?

Re: un: portopia1983

[sanctuarymoon]

Yeah, all the responses criticizing my taste clued me in. Thanks.

I haven't seen Columbo, but I could use some new media that has appeal beyond the amount of bare skin on display. Or unhygienic things done with skeletons.

That sounds like the sort of publication where you should have assumed there was no plot right from the start.

[sanctuarymoon]

For some reason, I had hope. Even if I had to spend the whole thing skimming, there might have been SOMETHING of worth.

There wasn't.

Rin, check your message settings.

Sanctuary Moon sounds like intriguing business, but the second title sounds like it belongs on the shelves next to Love and Lust.

Preferably out of the reach of small people.

[sanctuarymoon]

The second one isn't exactly my recommendation. Someone here insisted it would be worth looking at.

It's not.

But I definitely recommend Sanctuary Moon.

Thank you.

[sanctuarymoon]

Not sure what I'm being thanked for, but at least someone agrees.

How many episodes are there in one season of Sanctuary Moon if it takes 89 episodes to really get going?

Also, with a name like “Frontline Titties of the Fifth” I feel like the lack of plot was probably obvious from the get-go.

[sanctuarymoon]

There is nothing wrong with the early seasons. It's just a different and equally valid style of drama pacing.

I know I shouldn't have hoped for much, but I thought there could be some redeeming element. There really isn't.

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS ABOUT SO MANY THINGS!

[ Cool. Great. It's this human again. ]

This has nothing to do with Penny Polendina. Does that answer some of them?

[frogfear]

I think you meant to send this to someone privately? Also, if something takes 89 episodes to start to get good? Most people are probably going to lose interest way before that.

[sanctuarymoon]

It wasn't meant to be public. This network is... special.

And it's a perfectly good show in the early seasons, but it only really starts to heat up after the first few arcs.

Remove this filth at once.

[sanctuarymoon]

I didn't intend to post it publicly.

Frankly everyone should be grateful I'm not sharing the content itself.

[text | un: seeingeyefox]

[auralaura]

89 episodes is too long. 5 and done.

[sanctuarymoon]

If you have no attention span, I guess.

Anyway the early seasons ARE good, just not as action-packed.

[eudaimonikos]

Why do they always have to put sex scenes in everything? Nobody wants to see that!

[almost certainly untrue but go off]

[sanctuarymoon]

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. Every piece of media wastes so much time on it.

[hearuthinking]

Rin, that second one is porn.

[sanctuarymoon]

Yeah, I figured that out. Thanks.

This means it is deeply boring to me.

And now I'm stuck with an actual, physical, made-of-processed-plant-matter copy, which apparently the network doesn't intend to let me live down.

[foulhussy]

pretty sure its just there for you to jack off to buddy

it doesnt have to be an epic tragedy about the meaning of life to get your rocks off

also did you mean this to be public

[sanctuarymoon]

I was given the publication in the context of 'media to consume and discuss with a group,' so I did expect any content worth discussing.

I did not.

[bolstafir]

you can find plot in anything if you're invested enough in it

[or: qrow just has bad taste in media. possibly both can be true.]

[sanctuarymoon]

Sure, I COULD piece together a story from the pictures of topless people.

Or I could go read something less powerfully boring.

With more backstabbing and espionage.

Frontline Titties of the Fifth sounds like porn, mate.

[sanctuarymoon]

So I've been told. Thanks. Jury's still out on why someone thought it would make good book club material.

frontline WHAT ?

[At least he... had a sense of humor at one point?]

[sanctuarymoon]

It's a word for breasts.

I think it's supposed to be sexually appealing, but the pictures include a weird number of skeletons, which - last I checked - do not have any features you could describe as 'titties.'

un: namerequested

[unsheathedfromreality]

Only 89 episodes? How long are they?

[sanctuarymoon]

Listen, it's a perfectly good show from the first episode. It's just not a very action-packed genre, so it depends on what you're looking for. Don't assume the show is bad just because someone who gave me a magazine of breasts and skeletons would find it slow.
