Surely you must be joking!

I am serious, and don’t call me Shirley.

!chevron7@lemmy.world would like to have a word with you.

I created that community, so it can’t say shit to me.

It can say to cross post it. 😁

V7 needs the Ten Forward love. There's lots of potential there

"Late Antiquity" is too vague to be useful.

"Early Middle Ages" is perfectly descriptive and is logically the best choice.

"The Dark Ages" carries negative and untrue connotations. However, it is the coolest sounding one, so we should use it.

That's my two pence.

I'm sorry Dr Jackson! HOOOO!!! I am for real! Never meant to make your stargate cry, your series got cancelled a thousand times!

Did Daniel ever get giddy about small pottery finds?

[–] 667@lemmy.radio 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Only if it had writing on it.

I'm imaging an episode that's more like Time Team where Daniel breaks out his trowel after the top layer has been scraped off for a trench and we just check back in with him every now and then to see how he's going and if he's made any finds.

I prefer to call it: The Beige Years: because a lot of things were beige.
