Love that he hooked up the other runners with some Skrill. “Sorry I whooped your ass in this race, here’s a couple Gs for your trouble”

Greek history is soooo much more entertaining when you make Athens the Crips and Sparta the Bloods

Listen fam, Pheidippides is THE OG runner. He ran 300 miles on a round trip Athens - Sparta fun run to ask for help from the persian invasion. Then right after that, Ran to the battle feild, and saw some serious shit. Aka Greek phalanx kicking the crap out of the Persian war machine. Not to make light tho, likely 10s of thousands died in hand to hand combat, and he witnessed the end of the battle. Homie ran home to tell everyone that we won. Then died… In front of the whole city-state. Not a lot of people think about the word epic and what that word actually means. Pheidippides’ story is carved in stone. There have been statues of him essentially since his death, and still, there are statues of him today, 2500 years later. And literally hundreds of thousands of people run races in his honor monthly. Hell, he made running cool. Fucking change my mind. Oh yeah, his last words inspired the brand name NIKE, maybe the most famous running shoe company? Pre Fontaine is also a G, but ain’t got near the prowess.

Another show I really like was Pantheon. Has some similar subject matter with uploading consciousness. But my got, it was an incredible ride.

Were you just talking about this show in a different thread?

Amazon is a fickle mistress when it comes to scifi TV shows. It seems like so long ago when Bezos personally save The Expanse. I thought that prime studios would usher in a new era so scifi television. But alas, we get 3-7 new series a year that never make it past season 1… Except for this show. Which is really good. Great writing with some pretty good plot twists
