Otherworld in Nerd life

I have vague memories of watching this sci-fi show about androids back in the mid-1980s and I’ve been googling it for years, struggling to put a name to it based on my extremely cloudly early-childhood memories. Now, I’ve finally found it! I’ve finally found a name for the show, and I’ve found the first episode on YouTube! YES!!!!

I literally came out of the womb loving science fiction – no exaggeration at all. I can remember being so young and loving sci-fi. I used to watch sci-fi with my dad all the time, and he used to watch loads of grown-up sci-fi for grownups (I vaguely also recall “Alien” and “V” - not certain I’d let young children watch those, but OK!) He started watching Star Trek: The Next Generation when it first came on, and I joined in, and the rest is history – Star Trek was an important formative piece of my entire soul, and the characters in Star Trek feel like dear old uncles of mine, and Star Trek had a hand in building my entire value system.

Anyway, I’ve always loved science fiction. I was 5 when Otherworld was on, and it’s quite different to watch at 41 – not at all really what I remember, I didn’t comprehend the plot at all when I was five-years-old, but I’m glad to have found it so I can watch it again!!

I also want to comment how much I’ve enjoyed the “Loki” and “What if?” Marvel shows. Not only is Loki’s story arc and relationship with Sylvie so sweet and wholesome, but I also love those space/time continuum / multiple realities/ types of stories.
