But the really glorious one is in s5 e6, when there's a murder at a sci-fi convention. In one scene Castle and Beckett walk up to a set from a show called Nebula 9:

Castle: I'm sorry, how is Nebula 9 worthy of all this? I mean, they were cancelled over a decade ago after 12 episodes, which was 12 too many.

Beckett: I thought you would be a fan!

Castle: I'm a fan of good sci-fi. Star Trek, Battlestar, that Joss Whedon show ...

😁 😁

So, as mentioned before, I'm rewatching Castle, and I'm getting very excited whenever there's a reference to the Firefly series!

There's a subtle one in s3 e16:

Martha to Alexis: Have you talked to your father about our little trip? [...] I have scored two incredibly hard-to-get spots at The Oasis of Serenity.

Castle: That's fantastic. What is that?

Martha: You haven't heard of The Serenity?

😁

This Sunday at 9pm EST (that's 1am Monday UTC) it's #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come watch a goofy monster movie with the rest of the fediverse!

This week we're watching LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1960)! No, that's not the Rick Moranis version, this is the Roger Corman version. Yeah, I'm honestly curious, too. Apparently it was shot in 2 days flat on a budget of less than $30k, so it should be interesting ^^;

The flick's available free with ads over on Tubi: tubitv.com/movies/382527/the-l

Or over on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=mj_17y6i4O4

Or you can download in advance from Archive.org: archive.org/details/the-little

My latest read: "Kenai" by Dave Dobson @davedobson - See my Goodreads review for details but if you're searching for a new science-fiction novel, this one's worth a look!

www.goodreads.comMichael Shotter's review of Kenai4/5: My feelings on this book are a little complex. There are lots of things I like about it, and a few that I don't. Unfortunately, it's very difficult to talk about those things in any detail without delving into some fairly significant spoilers. In an amusing (to me) touch of irony, the potential peril of revealing future events is a recurring theme throughout the story, so I feel well prepared to handle the task. Hence, I'm going to stick to a somewhat basic assessment of"Kenai" but don't take that to mean that the book is shallow or unworthy of a more thorough analysis. I just believe poten...

Finally wrote my review of AUTOMATIC NOODLE by Annalee Newitz. (Please do not tag the author; we don't want to cause them extra notifs)

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

A hopeful message about the power of inclusion and found family. We can choose to build community, even in the face of those who think that they can only rise if they tear others down. We have to show them the way, even if they resist it. And they will. But, you're worth it. We all are.

We need some positive vibes these days, and this story fills that bill. It is a story of outsiders who help to heal each other through their shared work toward a common goal. I am here to tell you that community can save your life.

I like the structure: a whimsical story on the surface, with a lot to say underneath it. This introduces a parallel. Just as the story itself is layered with deeper meanings, the author encourages us to look for more nuance in our perceptions of the actions or circumstances of others. Recognizing how variables can cause our strict understanding of "the rules" to blur or bend, is the first step in extending grace to one another. Most judgment of others is based on overly simplistic reasoning. We know about situational ethics, but we are more likely to apply the justifications to ourselves than to others.

Also, Kohlberg suffered from a severe lack of imagination and ignored the power of community in the famous Heinz dilemma experiment. The psychologist pushed for one "right" answer, solved only by yourself. That is ironically, the opposite of higher moral reasoning (in my view).

It's amazing how much a story about robots has to teach us about community, care, respect, and autonomy. Newitz also seems to be asking us an important question: What would it be like to do work that you loved, simply for the love of it? And could that labor of love heal a community?

The author perfectly illustrates the inherent capriciousness of online algorithms and digital content, as well as how it feels to be treated like a second class citizen. No matter what you do or say, there will always be people who refuse to acknowledge your intrinsic value. Our focus has to be on the people who appreciate (or at least respect) us for who we are.

This is also a short read, so a good choice if you are looking for something uplifting with a redemption arc. It also may make you crave some hand-pulled Biangbiang noodles. 🍜
