The battle for the left between greens and labour is going to tear your friendship groups and family part. My advice is stay out of it with the line, "I'm going to vote for whichever left-ish party has a chance of winning in my local area, based on polls just before the election."

for the sake of argument this Star Wars Day - surely some of the appeal of cinema scifi comes from the transportative novelty of the production design, which comparatively lower-budget TV shows can't easily compete with (though Dr Who & Star Treks use various techniques to try)?

This makes me so angry. Honestly think it should be illegal. Losing millions, and every so often asking the public to fund your large salaries for the next while, with no financials even provided. And others:
