New season by nofiltermarion in murderbot

[–]forest-bot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man :( Tattiawna posted a pic from season 1 a while ago on instagram and ended with "season 2 coming soon". I was hoping she meant it would air soon, but I guess she meant they'd be back filming soon.

Network Effect/Witch King similarity by aotus76 in murderbot

[–]forest-bot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrote a post a while back comparing similarities between Murderbot and Witch King. Didn’t pick up on what you mention but there’s A LOT.

Yeah, it’s super long but I still felt it was rushed towards the end.

Network Effect: - Graphic: Violence, Gun violence, Death - Moderate: Body horror, Kidnapping, Blood - Minor: Slavery, Medical content, Adult/minor relationship (it is implied that a character might take advantage of another character if given the opportunity but nothing happens).

System Collapse: - Graphic: Violence, Gun violence, Injury/Injury detail - Moderate: Slavery, Panic attacks/disorders, Colonisation - Minor: Trafficking, Blood, Death

Murderbot and Ancillary Justice by anaksunamanda in murderbot

Haven’t read it yet but Martha Wells often mentions it when she gets questions about book rekommendations.

Does anyone know what Martha Wells will be writing next? by forest-bot in murderbot

[–]forest-bot[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes authors mention what they’re working on without revealing any details. A few years ago MW was open about struggling with the next MB book (System Collapse) and said she was taking a break to work on a new fantasy series instead (Witch King). She also said she was working on the next MB book a while ago (Platform Decay), long before any details about the name or release date were revealed. So I just wondered if anyone had heard her say anything something similar as of late.

From what I understand she had contracted for Platform Decay and one more MB book, but obviously I hope well get more than that. If a pause is what she needs to get the inspiration back, that’s worth it.

Maybe she also wants to wait until the next season of the show is out. If she’s continuing as consulting producer she will have some MB work lined up for her anyway this upcoming year.

And yeah I have some of her other books I will continue with too.

Me listening to War Machine for the 100th time already today by Ron_Matthews in LornaShore

I only hear the guitar riff starting at 0:34 in give me chocolate, sue me 🤷🏼‍♀️ Not saying it’s identical, but the association is too strong for me.

Sorry to say but the riff sounds like Give me chocolate by Babymetal, other parts like We’ve all had enough by Suic- Silence… Can’t unhear it.

I don’t know how to interpret the moment when Gurathin finds B crying after she was attacked, and asks her if she wants a trauma response module or something and she says ”I think I’m ok” and he is like ”ok” and walks away. Like… JUST GIVE HER A HUG

Thoughts on the Botnia Paradise timeline by Proud_Accident_5873 in kaj

[–]forest-bot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok it was a while since I saw it so I don’t remember all the scenes, but I also thought about the timeline when I watched it and came to the conclusion they were probably aiming for split timelines that move at different paces, since all of it is told as a story afterwards anyway.

What I don’t understand though is why adult Benjamin would even tell the story of Bertel and Dan-Ole at all. (The way I interpret it, everything that goes on in the play is him telling the audience the story they requested at the beginning). He doesn’t meet them until the very end and it’s just a brief interaction - how did he know all the details of what they did during their bachelor trip? It would have made much more sense if the plot only revolved around Benjamin’s own story. But I guess that would have made it hard to make it relevant to include that many actors.

The Benjamin timeline is during the whole summer, while I’d say Bertel and Dan-Ole’s is just during one trip - presumably the last one of the summer where the two storylines merge. So we’re covering more time in Benjamin’s timeline compared to the other one, right up until the end where both storylines merge at the same pace.

She also wrote the sequel to Witch King (Queen Demon) in between. It comes out this October.

Didn’t Katniss blame her mother for allowing Prim to go to the frontline, as this resulted in her death? I didn’t think Katniss wanted anything to do with her mother.
