  • IIRC this was just about voting on the hotness of random pictures, you couldn't actually do much in the way of social media stuff. You'd just upload your photo, and be able to check back on how it scored later for an ego boost, bragging rights among your friends, or whatever.

  • You ask who believed this stuff. But in 20 years people will look at the mainstream newspapers of today and ask the same question.

  • To a degree you're correct, but something being "well-settled" is not, in itself, reason to disregard the idea of reexamining it. Many bad laws and concepts - like slavery, disenfranchisement of women, and hazardous child labor to name just a few - were well-settled ideas right up until they stopped being so because the people disagreed enough to start the fight, fought that fight, and the majority realized they agreed with the fighters and decided to change things.

    Challenging something that others think is "well-settled" is one of the most important moves any activist can make.

  • Note that you can go in totally fresh storyline-wise. The main plot mystery is mostly the same, but the hints and solution of the mystery were totally changed in the adaptation and have nothing to do with what's really going on in the original version.

  • It's even been pulled from streaming because of how poorly it's aged, and Matt Lucas has all but disavowed it.

  • I loved Life on Mars, and Ashes to Ashes was one of those rare sequel/reboot things which really added to and honored the original while still being interesting on its own and expertly continuing to develop and explore its world. Great stuff!

  • In terms of innovative storyline and the actors' performances, Blake's 7 pretty much still holds up. If you can look past wobbly effects, some plots awkwardly forced in or abandoned due to behind-the-scenes stuff (like cast leaving), and the occasional silly-ass cockroach suit, it's a great chunk of surprisingly dark, moody, and clever television.

  • The first six series of Red Dwarf are amazing and incredible classic television, and the rest of Red Dwarf also exists.
