Like you, I loved this show as a kid - and I think I'd be too afraid of ruining my own memories of it by attempting to watch it again now!

I learned that lesson when I tried to watch a Blake's 7 episode about ten years ago... 😬

Some things are best left to nostalgia.

I loved Arrival, and personally I found both the ideas and the characters compelling - but if the 'language changing perception' part didn't land for you, I can see why you wouldn't care for it.

If you haven't already read it, it might be worth trying the short story that it's based on ('Story of Your Life' by Ted Chiang, in the collection Stories of Your Life and Others), instead. I found the story a bit drier than the film, but perhaps you'll prefer it.

(ETA: And in the time I was thinking about and typing this up, I see others have beaten me to suggesting the short story!)

That's a great list. Have seen a good proportion of them, but there's a couple (The Endless and Stalker) that I wasn't aware of, so will have to watch out for.

I loved Looper.

Haven't seen any mention of a new starter area (and given that we got Swanfleet/Cardolan in Before the Shadow as an alternative starter area, I think it's probably unlikely we'd get another new one so soon) - but you never know!

They ARE teasing a new River Hobbits-themed housing area, though.

Mostly, I'm hoping those hairstyles might be available to Shire Hobbits at some point. They look awesome!

I've always loved this artwork.

Any idea what the original source for it is? A reverse image search just turns up a whole lot of reposts on wallpaper sites and the like.

This is worth it for the universal toolkit alone!

I'd read it as a new race, just as with the stout-axe dwarves. But I could be wrong!

Thank you, that's very much appreciated. 🙂

Saw this earlier - have to admit I'd forgotten all about it, but was still sad to hear it won't be happening now. I loved Mr. Robot, so would have been very interested to see what Sam Esmail did with this.

Heh, that's a fair point! Unfortunately I'm no artist either.
