So this new Netflix series dropped today called Another Life, about a mission into deep space to seek out the source of an alien probe. But everything goes wrong — like, everything — and the mission becomes a string of disasters while back on Earth everybody worries about what the probe wants.
It’s the sort of genre show that pretends to have high stakes in order to justify going wild with its SF peril, and while I have no illusions about it paying off in some grand statement about humanity’s place in the universe … well, I kinda dug all the mayhem, and Katee Sackhoff is eminently watchable in the lead. Check it out! Mind the spinal fluid.
Also, John Travolta is coming to Fan Expo next month. This is news, I guess.
