    Wasn’t Musk mentioned as one of the greatest visionaries of all time in one of the first episodes of Discovery? Aged like fine milk.

    But after watching which direction that show took maybe it was appropriate.

      Yeah, but it was somebody from the Mirror Universe that said that

    This looks like a fun SciFi comedy about 3 below average aliens who crash land on earth and accidentally end up billionaires on earth because of how advanced the alien society is compared to us, all in an attempt to get back home.

    I feel like we’re definitely getting Star Trek future. In the Star Trek canon, the United States had a violent uprising in the mid 2020s.

      And we’ve still got the Eugenics Wars to look forward to

        It was the start of WW3.

          Wait… Does that mean the Bell Riots were the catalyst for WW3? What was WW3 fought over? Because IIRC, that’s when humanity nearly wiped itself out; when Cochrain launched the first warp-capable vessel, weren’t there under 100k total people left on the planet or something? Or was that the Eugenics Wars? 🤔

          Oh man… Thinking about this makes me wonder why they haven’t done a series that far in the past (aside from it not going into space to fit the star in Star Trek). If they wanna go dark and gritty, what better point in the timeline to explore?

        It was criminally underpromoted. I just stumbled on season 1 when I got HBO for Doom Patrol. Kind of surprised they followed through on season 2 with all the cancellations but glad they did.

        Even though the show is done I’m hopeful Iannucci creates another show connected to the A5 universe at some point.
