Strypey<p>Just finished season 1 of The Peripheral, based on a 2014 Gibson novel of the same name. It seems season 2 was cancelled, which is disappointing. But I'd still recommend it. Each of the 8 episodes has enough of an internal arc to make them satisfying to watch, while still wanting more, as does the season as a whole.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/TV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TV</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SciFi</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nzoss.nz/tags/cancelled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cancelled</span></a></p>
Mike McCaffrey<p>Great that <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/AppleTV" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AppleTV</span></a> is creating an adaptation of <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Neuromancer" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Neuromancer</span></a>, but I would have much rather them rescue <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> from its cancellation by Amazon. That show was off to such a promising start, and it would have been exciting to see how they would have handled the massive escalation of the struggle over that timeline.</p><p><a href="https://memex.craphound.com/2019/01/21/agency-william-gibsons-followup-to-the-peripheral-turns-neuromancer-on-its-head/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">memex.craphound.com/2019/01/21</span><span class="invisible">/agency-william-gibsons-followup-to-the-peripheral-turns-neuromancer-on-its-head/</span></a></p>
Mike McCaffrey<p>Damn, I was so very much looking forward to more of <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a>. <br /><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/the-peripheral-canceled-amazon-no-season-2-1235570179/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-ne</span><span class="invisible">ws/the-peripheral-canceled-amazon-no-season-2-1235570179/</span></a></p>
Erika Ensign<p>Also recorded an episode of THE INCOMPARABLE <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/podcast" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>podcast</span></a> about <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a>, which I loved.</p><p>It&#39;s been a good podcast day!</p>
Erika Ensign<p>I really love <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a>. Haven&#39;t read the book, and I honestly don&#39;t think I will any time soon. Consuming the TV version is hitting all the right buttons for me AND allowing me to relax a bit more than I do when I&#39;m reading.</p><p>If I do read it, it&#39;ll be a while down the road when I&#39;ve forgotten the details so I can come at it a little bit fresh.</p>
Allan Dyen-Shapiro<p>Last hour of Thanksgiving break before going to sleep for crack-of-dawn wakeup for work. Wife/kid are occupied. Spending it watching this week&#39;s episode of <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> . Glass of chocolate/banana-flavored whisky on the rocks. An okay evening.</p>
Fran<p>I promise this feed will not become a stack of <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> fangirling. </p><p>I mostly promise. </p><p>Ok it might.</p>
Fran<p>I have so many thoughts about <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> - from the scenework &amp; transitions to the set design, casting, costuming, &amp; how fantastic the scripts are, to how well they are lighting every actor, the conscious decision they’re making to allow long looks, pauses, &amp; details that speak for themselves. It is such a smart show, one that elevates every aspect of the original story &amp; oh I’m so glad to finally meet Lowbeer.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/spoilers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>spoilers</span></a><br />(Plus the Burning Chrome nod this week was just perfect.)</p>
Geraldo<p>In related <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> news just read that <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Westworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Westworld</span></a> has been cancelled. Pour one out for a wonderfully ambitious show. Sad to see it end.</p><p>But glad Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan can devote their full attention to <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/Fallout" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Fallout</span></a> and <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> TV shows.</p>
Geraldo<p>That one is heavily <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> inspired, as a lifelong Gibson fan. I really love what his book and the show does in terms of, flipping between two worlds and showing the effects of that transit. </p><p>So I wanted to write a book in that vein, exploring near future tech. It&#39;s just 40k words still, but I have spent a lot of time in worldbuilding, character building, so maybe I&#39;ve done 70k words in just random total counting reworked chapters.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/wip" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>wip</span></a></p>
Catherine Rockwood<p>re: <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> -- </p><p>what I&#39;m noticing personally is that this future &quot;American South&quot; feels intentionally feel-good to me. Which sounds weird...but, Flynne and Barton are &#39;complicated&#39; _sympathetic_ white protagonists, hearts-of-gold, etc., despite their very scary instincts &amp; training. Which is a salable construct, but deserves to have an asterisk applied I think. </p><p>half-formed thought here: U.S. Southeast construed as violent-but-still-fun playground for Canadian speculative thought?</p>
Catherine Rockwood<p>well, so, yes: <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> is really good. (we are two episodes in: my partner was like &quot;hopefully this is just one season, because it&#39;s...very addictive.&quot;)</p>
haven4books<p>Yowza! The latest episode of <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> had some real heavy in it. Bit close to now for comfort.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/sff" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sff</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tv" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>tv</span></a></p>
Murad<p>Well, another <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/friday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>friday</span></a>, another episode of <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> 👌 <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SciFi</span></a></p>
haven4books<p>Is anyone watching <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/tv" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>tv</span></a> show? I understand it&#39;s a William Gibson adaptation.<br /> <br />The pilot was promising for decent <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/SF" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SF</span></a>.</p>
Murad<p>I read a really lazy, smug review of <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> in the telegraph (online) that wanged on about how it was a &quot;meta mess&quot; (haha see what he did there?) I dunno, I&#39;m really enjoying it. ##</p>
Murad<p>Episode 1 of <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/ThePeripheral" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ThePeripheral</span></a> was cracking. Episode 2 was a bit slower... Let&#39;s hope it keeps the pace up... ##</p>
