    • Good support for multiple accounts
    • Easy on the eyes, which means among other stuff none of that forced solid black background stuff as it gives me a headache
    • Customisable text for similar reasons to the above
    • Easy to post & reply & generally interact with people (some apps make it real difficult to continue a convo from your inbox, for example)
    • Basic mod capabilities
    • Multi-communities are a big bonus (this is why I keep Summit installed)

    Generally I prefer more features over slick looks which I think is where a lot of people go the other way. Probably depends if you post a lot or are more of a scroller. I currently have 11 apps installed so will just keep testing them all out until one wins, lol.










  • Yes! Although, I have to admit I’ve never rewatched Farscape since it was originally on, I was still in school and me and my bestie were obsessed. Kind of worried to rewatch and find it doesn’t hold up. Firefly on the other hand, totally holds up!

    Ok this will put the cat among the pigeons. And I probably shouldn’t be admitting it on the internet, but I just have to know…

    For all I love scifi, I cannot stand the Battlestar Galactica remake. Thoughts?




  • I’m completely with you on this, LD is clearly a hit with a lot of people and that makes me happy to see, but the show is just not for me. The characters are indeed way too hyper all the time which is tiring to watch, and I think it’s a shame because the concept and even a lot of the plots could be funny, but the characters never grow or change or become any less the absolute worst, so it’s kind of a wasted opportunity.

    Anyway I’m not replying to dunk on LD. It’s a tv show and I don’t personally like it, whatever. I am replying to ask if you’ve tried The Orville.

    Go with me here, because I assumed it was going to be just more of the kiddie style humour like LD. And it sort of is at first, so on my first attempt I bounced off the first episode and didn’t go back for a year. But we seem to have basically the same taste when it comes to Trek and I can honestly say The Orville turned into some of the best Trek I’ve seen. It’s got its weak points and annoying characters like anything else, but they’re a bit more like real people who change over time based on their experiences and aren’t just stuck in that typical animated show loop of being exactly the same again at the start of each new episode.

    You might like it, you might not. Just a suggestion! :)
