I suppose this is considered science fiction. I believe it has just started airing. I've seen the comics on occasion around the internet and had no idea they were planning on adapting this into a series.

Has anyone seen the first episode yet? I'll probably check it out tonight.

It’s alright but not as good as the comics. I feel like the quirky dialogue doesn’t really have the same impact when it’s happening over 20 minutes vs a short punchy four panel strip

The spirit of wit is brevity.

The Strange World comics only work in small doses.

You've captured my thoughts better than I could.

We have developed a bond, even as strangers. Rejoice.

But I do not wish to share more bonds...

And succinctly! :-)

The comics have also gone downhill. They used to be insanely cute and quirky and now it's like they've been diluted.
