Oh yes, this is how I imagine how the William Gibson's data cowboys see the Net when they are hacking different corporations.

I see I have some catching up to do with the sci-fi classics.  Sadly there's only 24 hours in a day!
Speaking of sci-fi, what do you think about Star Trek Discovery?!  I think it's great, despite all the bad critique..  I've been studying symbolism/mythology/mysticism etcetera lately, and let me tell you, Discovery is absolutely bursting with symbolism.  I watch it from a totally different perspective now and it becomes so meaningful, it's like a very elaborated riddle with many different levels.  This stuff wasn't written during a fortnight..  To give you an idea, the most obvious clues are in the names: captain's name is Gabriel, outcast's name is a woman named Michael..
Ehem.  Well I'm intrigued anyway..

Ooops! For some reason I thought that we were talking about this picture The Towers of Sprawl  ! Now my earlier answer doesn't make any sense, or does it? Maybe you saw here some symbolism that I didn't. About 20 years ago I absolute loved Gibson's Neuromancer and gritty cyberpunk in general, but now those novels have a certain "blaah" aspect onto them. I can only assume that the premise of that genre has been overused in fiction after the eighties. 
Well I haven't seen the new Star Trek series yet, I am still tackling thru the old ones. And here that series is on Netflix and I am not so excited to pay monthly fees to see tv series or movies. It sounds interesting, but haven't that same premise used already in scifi? Wasn't Neo from Matrix series also a Messiah type character, and Anakin from Star Wars had some religious undertone on him. Do they explore the galaxy like they did in TOS or is it more like the Next Generation was?

Okay, now that makes a lot more sense! I'm open minded, but I do admit it was somewhat far-fetched to associate your reply with this particular image
Yes yes, the same theme has been explored again and again, you're absolutely right!  It just makes me wonder why!?  The biggest difference with all the other ST series is definitely the fact that this captain has an evil strike..  I certainly like that.  However, this series is going to be much more about war I'm afraid.  Sign of the times I guess..

It's a good thing that I made that mistake with a longtime DA friend, somebody random person would've been confused I bet.  
Hmm, perhaps the reason is because writers and producers are lazy. And we in the western world can relate to those characters even if our Christian religion has differences like lutherans differ from orthodoxies it their ways of the expressing their faith. Maybe in Star Trek they try to compensate all those Greek gods that pop up in the TOS with this series. But wasn't DS9 about war also, what I've read there's a huge war between Dominion and Federation in the later episodes?

Oh oh oh I was wrong - and now I have to wait until January for the next episode of Discovery!  It took a wild and interesting turn at the end of the last episode of this year.  It's all very thrilling but it's bad for my health, having to wait so long for the next episode.
Sure I too thought that writers were being lazy, but then I started to pay attention to the details (stuff happening in the background, colours, symbols) and then it all seems so perfectly orchestrated.  People have been working hard on making every detail fit in the great scheme.  And it's actually still about the Greek gods, it always has been (Santa = Saturn = Kronos)!  Yes, it's always the same story on the upper, most visible layer, but when you pull back layer after layer, it all fits together in a meaningful multidimensional kinda way..  However, I concur, it's possible that I'm overdoing it, seeing ghosts etcetera, since I have a vivid imagination.

Your waiting is still a lot shorter than my Star Wars waiting has been, every two years a new episode. It's a year quicker than that when Lucas himself did movies. And now it's only three weeks until the Last Jedi comes to the theatres and I mean three weeks, our premier is on 13th and yours is on 15th. Back in the 80's any movie took months to come to our theatres so I like how times have changed.

I don't watch Walking Dead but I usually follow (by reading episode recaps from the internet) what is happening on it. And there's one actor or actress who's on both series, his/her acting on Discovery was appraised. And on general Star Trek's writing staff was far better than Walking Dead's. I've seen one episode but it was more Talking Dead or Talking Viewer's To The Big Sleep, nothing happened people just talk and talk. I tried to fool my friend by saying that there's new characters coming, werewolves. But he didn't buy it.

Well I've never watched the Walking Dead, and now I'm certain I never will because you talked me out of that, quite convincingly
I look back at the 80s with quite some nostalgia concerning movie theatres. The long rows of people waiting to see one of the three (!) films shown that night. We didn't have popcorn, but in stead we had ice cream pralines. We would watch the same film over and over again since the same films were shown for weeks on end.. And everyone knew everyone, plus we could whisper something now and then. Nowadays theatres are so loud, I leave half-deaf after a movie. Yup, I'm getting old

It's only my opinion, somebody else might think otherwise. What I've read the very first four or five episodes of Walking Dead are those that are worth to watch, after that it's downhill race for the series. 

I don't even remember what we had to eat at our cheaters back then. When I was at the Force Awakens premier there everybody got a free bag of candy, I still have that unopened. It's easier nowadays when film's are digital, at the 80's there was scratches and dirt all over the image. And sometimes the projector's lens was for a moment out of focus blurring everything, and that one time when one reel ended and the operator was sleeping or somewhere else and there was this loooong pause until the movie continued.  

About sound effects here's a short clip from Attack of the Clones www.youtube.com/watch?v=erFcYs…
I am talking about the seismic charge sound, you can find it here also - Klingon Attack track from the Star Trek Motion Picture www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjlBXm…
It's actually a instrument called Blaster Beam.

Oh yes, I remember that films got interrupted many many times! The quality used to wear off in no time..

The sounds remind me of the Brown Note www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9mB0O…
Now, that would make for an interesting film theatre experience, wouldn't it?
The Blaster Beam! Cool!! I didn't know that, I looked it up. I'm sure parents would be thrilled to hear that their kids want to learn how to play the Blaster Beam..

We had also sound issues with trailers and commercial, I remember Calmari Union's trailer and how it sounded like it was blasted thru a megaphone. I couldn't understand a word of it.

I remember that Brown Note episode, I wouldn't use it in film theatres. Better "audience" would be our neo-nazi (or groups that are close to them) rallies and gatherings. They would not just be called brown skirts...  Blaster Beam would be a great instrument to play inside a high-rise apartment, the whole building would resonate beautifully I bet.
