My sister and I are watching When The Stars Gossip together and I’m really liking it despite the blatant disregard for any science. We have made it a rule that we can’t point out anymore the things that don’t make any sense, because every episode we said “that would so not be possible,” with lengthy explanations as to why not 
. Now we’re just turning our brains off and enjoying the ride.

@RomanticIsa Yeah, the science certainly wasn't sciencing. I was intrigued, however, by how they simulated the zero gravity for filming. I found this clip of them using giant arms, wires, and green screened out people to manage all this. It looks like so much fun, but I am sure got exhausting at times. (This is a short behind the scenes clip with no spoilers)
That's cool! I kept wondering how they did that.
I am so disappointed by its rating on MDL - only a 6.6. IMHO, it was so good. I mean hilarious & crazy (mice & fruit flies), but even those bits tied beautifully into the theme, with such deep messages. There's a lot more to it than it seems.
@whoosh @notthatkaren @RomanticIsa This is exactly how I imagined they had done this. The movements were exactly like people who were suspended in air, but with gravity. But I could overlook this and enjoy the series. However, I fully agree that you had to stop thinking scientifically about this. (Flies "giving birth"? Really???)
Despite all of its shortcomings, I still liked the series.
@whoosh @notthatkaren @RomanticIsa I still think too many people tried to treat this as a hard sci-fi because it had high production values and special effects, but it seems clear to me that was never the intention for the show - it’s a zany drama that just happens to be set in space. I thought they established the irreverence pretty well with the first flashback of his childhood chasing people for his mum’s’ pay while studying
