The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy is highly overrated!
The main characters were obnoxious, I didn’t end up caring about any of them, and quite frankly, I wished the towel guy had died at the beginning along with everyone else on Earth (except the dolphins). I wasted hours of my life over those 3 books!
A pen lid with the long bit broken off, a shopping trolly token, 1 threadbare sock, a novelty rubber (eraser), and one of those black twisty wires that are used to tie up new USB cables, all sealed in a sandwich bag with ‘aubergine curry’ written on it in janky handwriting.
Why all this random rubbish? Because it’ll absolutely screw with their brains!
Yes! I agree with you that DS9 was better than the others. It moved away from The Alien of the Week storylines to something bigger. A great show.
