@kamikat has been compiling a best of list from her online research, recommendations from other fans in the community.

The new Gizmoplex makes it simple and pretty cheap, less than 10 USD, to buy each episode individual including DRM-free downloads.

I've created a playlist on @jellyfin running on Lovelace so we can easily watch. I even found cover art I like for the list.

I realized playlists would be good ideas to for the movies we've been adding to follow #FridayThrillerClub and #KungFuSat.

Which leads to one more idea in this silly thread that explains why I like Man of Steel as a sci fi interpretation as much as I do.

So to fly in space at speeds this organ must be capable of, he'd need additional senses, like a gravity sense. So maybe he can see the curve of spacetime, emphasis on the time part. So repeating the warning is more like don't touch hot stove stuff. #SupermanTheMovie #FridayThrillerClub

I think this could make narrative sense too. Jor-El's warning is only part of the lesson. What we can't hear because the knowledge would be to dangerous, by implication of the warning, is how this all works. And then Jor stresses the warning again and again.

Well, narrative sense as much as emergency self destruct makes sense. Why even tell Kal how to use his power this way. Like is it obvious to kryptonian senses? Maybe it would have to be. #SupermanTheMovie #FridayThrillerClub

From Supe's perspective, the Earth appears to spin backwards. Not actually, but it is his view of time running in reverse. He is moving at such vast speed that he has to perform a retrograde flight (OK, here maybe things get sketchy) as a sort of braking maneuver. Now Earth appears to slow and return to proper rotation.

As opposed to my kid mind simply had to accept that if somehow you could spin Earth backwards, time would reverse. Because movie logic.

OK, I think this is more evidence for the kryptonian anti-gravity bladder hypothesis.

Hear me out.

Kryptonian super science figures out how to use the strange matter the organ concentrates out of the particles that stream endlessly from Earth's yellow sun, far more so than Krypton's red sun. Through concentration strange feats become possible. Skimming a gravitational curve to move backwards through time. #SupermanTheMovie #FridayThrillerClub
