​@@merrylderrickson3147 You not understanding the reference to working condition at Amazon makes your rambling rather embarrassing. Here ill help you a little: Amazon is a company that keeps their "workers" in a state of poverty, while denying them basic needs like for example sick-leave or even using a freaking restroom, while at the same (according to The National Labor Relations Board), have violated numerous labor laws like the violation in Bessemer, Alabama or the firing of Daequan Smith just to mention a few, all in order to deny their workers the right to unionize.

Pretty interesting the Belters ignore the fact Earth was filled with people suffering and struggling to get by. Good example of class struggles and the misdirected anger

Honestly it's unrealistic that there wouldn't be any movements on earth sympathetic to belters. Likewise that there wouldn't be belters connecting their experience of colonization with those victimized the same way on Earth. It's an interesting series but the authors' radical centrist politics and relatively shallow understanding of colonialism definitely hamper the world building.

Absolutely. Human history (and especially in the last 100 years or so) is littered with examples of revolutions degenerating into a protracted get even campaign. It leads to cycles of violence and a lot of innocent people getting hurt. The most radical among the revolutionaries use the pent up anger of normal people to commit exactly the kind of atrocities that they condemned their oppressors for. It takes pretty strong leadership and a culture aligned with it to stop that kind of thing from happening.

Thank you for telling us about this amazing series, I just started to watch it because you introduced the universe on your channel. I hope there's more you want to tell us about :)

Laconia isn't full of wildlife that has been fixed by the dogs even though they fix animals (like Xan) to be immortal. So it never occurred to the dogs to fix living creatures until Cara expressed to them her sadness over the bird's death and her desire for it to be not dead. So they recognize Cara's emotions as instructions and they recognize her as a "boss". They aren't just fixing everything willy-nilly (though they fix some builder Tech that they had been instructed to fix before the builders left). Later they recognize Teresa the same way when she gets someone killed.

Hey it just occurred to me. Have you considered making an Elden Ring Video?

Hi please consider covering other book content, specifically Dragon Age The Stolen Throne which while based on the game series, is a prequel.

Disagree completely. What wasted time are you referring to? The S6 episodes are much tighter than previous seasons. The Laconia scenes are straight out of the novella Strange Dogs and pay off in the next major storyline. Seasons 1 and 2 alluded to events that would take place in 5 and 6. Just because the payoff isn’t immediate doesn’t mean there is none.

This series ended with season 4 for me. Marcos' storyline, the actor, the writing, has been a sustained cringe. I think I got through episode 1 of this season and haven't gone back. After forcing myself through the terrible season 5, I can't waste more time and force myself through another.
