People might care more if Marvin wasn't so miserable. He's sympathising with himself - doesn't need our sympathy.

"Parking cars"

Brain the size of a planet and that's what you get him doing!

Although I suspect that's exaclty why he's the most popular character in this. The same with Avon in B7 Wink

Don't usually like fantasy, but it's rather well done. Except, like most fantasies, it doesn't know when to stop.

OK, so Wheel of time...loosely based on books by Robert Jordan (too loosely, according to fans of the books). Available on Amazon Prime.
Here's the season 1 trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11Zo...1ZozKfRqvA

It's better than it sounds, actually. The characters are good, not just stick figures.

They are jam packed - there's certain bits missing from the books, but not loads. Well apart from the whole opening section of Book 2 of course!

So apparently Marvin didn't say it was crap, or it was rubbish, but 'it was awful'.

Ah, so that's how the Aurons got telepathy!

He said it was rubbish last week. That was the OSP confirmed she was thinking about.

I wasn't suggesting it, since it's not available free, as far as I know. Also it's too long. But I found it by accident and liked it more than I expected to.

If you do, start at the beginning, or nothing will make sense. The locations are amazing. And there's rather a lot of blood.

this is the milkman sketch all over again, really, isn't it? Obligatory Python reference.

I'm glad to hear it - one of the few things I can't remember is how he got out of that situation.
