This fallls way outside of ten forward, but the absolute king of polarity reversal in really all of scifi is Jon Pertwee’s Doctor Who. Yes it’s very old, but you will literally get at least one polarity reversal per story arc. Honestly he’s probably the progenitor of all polarity reversals.
Right! I smoked for over 30 years. I started vaping about 12 years ago. Prior to that I tried quitting numerous times - patches, lozenges, pills - none really lasted. Vaping works and it sure as hell is less harmful than the cocktail you get from old-school cigs.
It is honestly really frustrating to see the issue of relative harm just get flat out ignored. “Vaping is bad” - you never see it compared in any sensible way to alcohol, cigarettes, formaldehyde from carpets - what have you (all of which are more or less bad). “Even drinking water can harm the body” is about as useful a statement. This is so tiresome - we’re not children.
Exquisite.
Ok @Brainsploosh@lemmy.world - you are absolutely correct - this is an amazing series. I’m gonna confess that it was a very hard slog for me to get through the first 2.5 seasons, but then it just became this neverending stream of “wait… what??? woah!!!”. I’m in the second half of season four and I’m kinda blown away. I’m absolutely certain I’ll be re-watching it to find some of that weaving you mentioned. Thanks again for your description.
Well - thanks for that - I’m giving it another go. “Long arcs” definitely reel me in :)
I have to confess that I’ve never been able to get into Babylon 5. I’ve tried several times starting from the first episode but I’ve never found myself “sucked in”. TBH it has always struck me as political soap opera with lots of makeup.
But as I said - I’ve never gotten into it, and I’ve read many times that it is great. So - I really want to like it.
I think I’d be in your debt if you sell me on it - at what point(s) might I be so into this show that I just can’t stop watching?
…of the neutron flow yeah. He just plain reversed polarity in general more times than that. He was a professional polarity wrestler :D
