I agree completely. My wife is dyslexic so we watched it dubbed the first time. On the second viewing (which we both enjoyed immensely because we were able to spot so much foreshadowing) we saw it in German with subtitles. I personally found this so much better.
I would have to disagree. It wasn't an explanation of the plot, it was philosophical discussion on the concept of free will. Everything was shown but one had to really observe: not a show to watch whilst looking at one's phone!
Edit: I know I used the word 'explain' in my previous post; 'clarify' would have been a better word. Let's be honest: I'm a massive fanboy of the show and have watched it 8 or more times. I just think it's the best thing I've ever seen.
It all came together in the end. I remember getting to S3E4 and my brain was fried so I just let it wash over me. Then E7 and E8 explained everything and were perhaps the best 2 hours of TV I've ever watched. A re-watch of the entire show made everything so much better too!
Opens ever so slooooowly using Gigaclear and Firefox; it's as if the site is overloaded and it doesn't fully load. No luck on Vodafone 4G; the connection times out.
Julian May's Galactic Milieu trilogy from the '90s has a fun FTL concept involving a ship generating an upsilon field to break through superficies into a "grey limbo" hyperspace. Each translation (in and out) causes physical pain; the tighter the catenary and the longer the jump, (the faster the trip) the more pain is caused.
At the end of the year, I was being made redundant for the second time. I ended up being self-employed for around a decade as there were no jobs to be had in my industry after the August 2007 credit crunch.
My wife had one of these, only spotted after they saw the teeth in an x-ray.
