Where would you live?

[fbhjr]

Last night I couldn’t sleep.  My right big toe is still a bit numb from the
boot/washout problem we had 2 months ago, the tooth I had worked on last
month is still bothering me some.

That sort of thing always makes me think: If I could go off to a fictional
universe to get my medical problems dealt with, where would I go?
And, as long as I’m dimension jumping anyhow, where would be a good place
to retire.

The clear winner for both, as least for me, is the Culture in the Ian M
Banks books.  But, more people know the various TV places.  So, I thought
I’d ask you about those.

Where would you want to live?
Where would you want to work?
Where would you want to get your health care?

For me, I’d go to the doctors on Satellite Five (before the Daleks get
there) and probably live on Earth of the later Star Trek franchises.
Except for one Breen attack, that seems like a pretty good place.  Forget
the colonies, they are always being attacked, hit by plague or revolting
against things.

Ah, but in the short lived TV show of the 70's there were lots of places outside the domes where the 30 year limit was not in force.
Or, so I'm given to understand. I used to watch the San Pedro Beach Bums instead. My sister told me it was therefore my fault Logan's Run was cancelled.

Can't say that I even knew there was a TV show. But from what I remember of the movie (and I'm realizing now it's been ages since I watched it, must add to NetFlix queue!), the places outside the domes were pretty much wilderness.

When I'm a little old lady, I'm going to want my modern conveniences. And those tree roots are sure to snag my walker and trip me. So no Logan's Run world for me!

I'd still take over the Terminator world...

There were lots of other folks in the TV show:

It had even more episodes than the show I watched:
