- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

No, I know, and I hope you realise I wasn't shitting on it. I like it, but it seems a bit aimless? But I like the setting and it's not too slow for me. It's not as fast as Star Trek or Battlestar, but it doesn't need to be.
I am also aware that each season adapted a different book in the series.
Wife and I are committed to finishing the series.
No worries. I actually liked seeing a take with fresh eyes. The co-authors were deeply involved with writing the show, and frankly they wrote the books with an eye towards suitability for TV, so the threads that you’re trying to follow now will come together in a pretty satisfying way, I think.
When they do eventually indulge in ship combat, that too comes off surprisingly solid as a spectacle.
