A common complaint people make about #SpaceOpera is that planets always feel so tiny and have only as much going on on them as in a small town at best.
But I think that's an automatic consequence of the most basic premises of this genre. When fairly ordinary people can have a space ship and just take off to leave the star system in 30 minutes, then every point anywhere on the planet can be reached in 10.
Distances on a planetary scale cease to exist. Everything is right next door.

It may veer from Asimov's books a bit, but I was dreading that Apple would be as daft as Netflix were with The OA and shaft their unusually intelligent and increasingly engrossing Foundation sci-fi series.
Thankfully, they have proven wiser than Netflix.
I just wish HBO's intriguing Raised By Wolves had been able to live up to its potential too.

हिति , in Nepāl Bhāṣā, is the word for a shared community water tap. Even in modern Newar cities, these ancient structures still pour out fresh mountain water piped through ancient underground filters and conduits. They are a place to wash, to talk, to drink, to meet the locals: a nourishing, refreshing social-ecological place.
