And so to the end of the series.
As with Series 1, we end with a review for Uljabaan.
Unlike last year however, this time he's not looking to impress. Quite the reverse. He's had enough of his lousy posting and he wants out. Lucy has finally put a spanner in his works, or rather chewing gum in his matter manipulator, it apparently amounts to the same thing.
This one was a test . Literally.
It’s a given that this series is not trying to amp up the Sci-Fi elements, which is a shame because that’s where some of its best strengths lie. Oh, and it’s also the reason that I’m listening to it.
This week,the geekiness is scaled down and use only as a framer for what is essentially a rather dull plot around Lucy passing her “A” levels.
Captain Kirk had it easy.
Every other week, a newly found ancient civilisation being run by a God-like mysterious force that turned out to be an advanced computer.
This one might make you have a little doubt next time you ask or get asked to get a loyalty card stamped.
In this case the loyalty card in question is to the alien invaders, with a stamp on the card for collaborating obtained by ratting on the resistance who have kidnapped one of the minions and are holding it in a shed on the park.
That's going to make a few people think twice when they ask for a stamp after ordering their , Skinny-Decaf-Grande-Frappachino.
Off we go again to the Village of Cresden Green, the beachhead for the Geonin invasion.
If I was a tree and you cut me down, then there’d be a whole section of rings that you could identify with the whole geek thing.
The outer rings would be blood and sex tinged from all of the Game Of Thrones shenanigans, with the rings getting progressively less violent and kinky as you move towards the centre.
Moving past the many movies and books, there’s something at the heart that hasn’t got a lot in common with todays’ taste for gritty (and titty) realism.
