That was interesting as hell.
The starring character's son's didn't turn out to be the meth.-head-rabble the preview made me think they would be
As for my code, and it's perpetual presence causing my constant anticipation, I spend most of my time analyzing activities of the past or the present day
In this case, I analyzed a future-day because of the observation I made about that calendar-day, in this case, back on Monday, I discovered this title and its scheduled day of its debut, whch is today
On very rare occasions, my anticipation has made me try to discover The Day When It All Finally Makes Sense
I want that day to arrive so so so sooooo badly
Because each passing day is a rope that constantly tangles me up tighter in this code-pattern, each passing day I sit here at this desk and I know that someday - SOMEDAY! - that day will finally arrive
All this drama then just become so much baggage I carry around with me, perhaps giving me perspective as I find myself in the deeply fantastic of whatever I am destined to discover, that you are incapable of imagining in your dim-wit dullard pathetic life and I really wonder just what sort of nut-job sits back out there and follows along with my posts here.
For some people, I've created the reason, whether they choose to follow along or not
For others, I just cannot fathom how pathetic you must be to actually follow along here, as though this is all some sort of voyeurist, pervert pleasure for you.
I started this all decades ago because I wanted answers.
*You* contribute not one goddamned useful thing.
AND I KNOW without a doubt the *answer* is in *here* somewhere.
I just can't see it yet.
Someday, I'll look back here and the answer will be as clear as day.
I. JUST. CANNOT. GODDAMNED. SEE. IT. YET. !!!!!

Today is 04/10/2022
I just noticed today this production, annoyed I have to wait 5 more days to watch it, there are sooooooo few titles out there I find interesting, wasting time wading through more than 99.99% of crappy stuff on Amazon Prime, really considering whether it is worth it paying their rate hike when my subscription expires.

Chapter 14: Holden
Miller laughed. "You think somebody built those towers and structures and then just left? This whole planet is a murder scene. An empty apartment with warm food on the table and all the clothes still in the closets. This is some Croatoan shit."
"The North American colonists who - "
"Except," Miller said, ignoring him. "The people who vanished here? Not dumbass Europeans in way over their heads. The things that lived here modified planets like we remodel a kitchen. They had a defense network in orbit that could have vaporized Ceres if it wandered too close."
"Wait, what defense network?"
Miller ignored him. "An empty apartment, a missing family, that's creepy. But this is like finding a military base with no one in it. Fighters and tanks idling on the runway with no drivers. This is bad juju. Something *wrong* happened here. What you should do is tell everyone to leave."
"Yeah," Holden said, "sure, I'll get right on that. This argument about who gets to live here really needed a third party both sides could hate."
"No one lives here," Miller said, "but we're sure as shit going to play with the corpses."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"
Miller tipped his hat back, looking up at the stars.

Chapter 23: Holden
Look, I've got a pretty good map of the global network. Lots of leftover stuff coming up, checking in. Except one spot. Like a big ball of nothing."
Holden shrugged. "Maybe it's just a place where there are no nodes on the network."
"Kid this whole planet is a node on the network. There shouldn't be anyplace that's off-limits to me."
"So what does it mean?"
"Maybe it's just a spot that's really really broken," Miller said. "That'd be interesting but useless."
And the useful thing?"
"It's a leftover bit of whatever killed this place."

Chapter 52: Elvi
Miller stopped at a seam in the wall and placed his claws on it, ready to push. "In through here? It used to be one of the major control centers for the planet. Like a... like a nerve cluster or something. As near as I can figure it, the dead spot's in here."
Look at this too long, Elvi thought, and I will lose my mind in it.
Once, there had a been a civilization here beyond anything Elvi had ever imagined. Beings that could design tools like the protomolecule, like the rings. They had peopled a thousand worlds, and more, spread through time and through space, and they were gone now. And this - she had no doubt at all - this was the footprint of the thing that had killed them.
"So," Miller said, "you need to look for anything, you know, odd. Something that doesn't seem like it fits."
She turned to him, confused, and pointed at the uncanny thing in the center of the room. "You mean like that?"
Miller shifted, alien eyes moving their lenses in the complexity of the mechanism. "Like what?"
"That. In the middle of the room. That."
"I don't see anything," Miller said. "What's it look like?"
"The eye of an angry God?" Elvi said.
"Oh," Miller said. The heavy plates of his robotic body clicked and hissed against each other as he shifted. "Yeah, well that's probably it, then. Good work."

In closing, he declared, "Those who are trying to use the conclusions of the theory of natural selection as a guide to social polity and ethics will find themselves without any ground on which to stand if they address themselves to a real study of biological evolution."
