    Altered Carbon

    Watched the first episode, thought it was interesting. However, am I the only one who cannot stand the main actor? I hated that asshole in House of Cards. I don't know why, just something about him.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    It's not bad. I'm actually enjoying it quite a bit at this point DESPITE the fact that, other than Saru, I don't particularly care about any of the characters.

    And Ruby Roundhouse in Jumanji! I didn't realize how tall she is - 5'11".

    Let me know if you figure that one out.

    Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out. Because, other than just being assholes, I fail to see the point of trying to fuck with the other side.

    I swear to fucking God, man. I've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a correction for months and just recently said, 'fuck it', and bought some ETF shares. I KNEW this was going to happen as soon as I bought anything. So, yeah, my fault. Sorry guys.

    Honestly, why the secrecy? Other than via the tiny doorway, there's no way to reach this other world -- there's no way to go there by conventional means. So it's not like one side could invade the other and ravage their resources.

    Well, after this past episode I think it's pretty obvious that they are intentionally keeping the tech in that building locked to the era of when the event happened. I assume the standard-operating-procedure is any visitors from the other side are not allowed to leave that area. That way they...

    The Magicians

    Well, I personally only have internet access and not cable so this is literally the only means I have to watch television programming. But, also, it's awfully damn convenient. For instance, I use a program named Sonarr, add in all the TV shows I want to watch, it will monitor when episodes are...

    Dude, you get a Chromecast, Roku, or whatever and cast it right to your TV.

    Anyone familiar with Postman (REST API)?

    Sounds like what you're describing, with the colors and all, is the JSON structure isn't correct once you modify it. What you pasted above looks correct, however. You might want to try taking the modified JSON and pasting it into Notepad, or some other plain-jane text-editor, to strip away any...

    The Magicians

    Funny ass episode. However, I feel like they try to cram too much into 45 minutes so we end up abruptly jumping from scene to scene.

    Can anyone recommend a good World War I documentary?

    Wonder what's with the 80s-era computers and monochrome monitors? The show is obviously present-day judging by the cars and cellphones.

    Yeah, rolled my eyes with the "Make the Empire Glorious Again". Although it does make for a great acronym.

    Love it or hate it, there's no denying that STD's visuals are gorgeous. Oh, and I nerded out when hearing the classic photon-torpedo sound effects.

    Doctor Who

    I stopped watching Doctor Who when Capaldi came on board. I watched the first episode with him and it was just dumb as shit. For me that's the problem with Doctor Who -- I love the universe, but the stories and writing is usually mediocre to just bad. Out of the years of watching it from...

    Doctor Who

    I really liked Christopher Eccleston. That was way back in 2005 and only for one season (sorry, "series").

    The Last Man on Earth

    This show is at it's best when there's less Will Forte. The last couple of episodes with Karl were probably the funniest of the series. I hope they find some way of keeping him around.

    Black Lightning

    This was okay. I did really like Cress Williams and that one black chick with the amazing ass. I'm not familiar with the comic character, so just going from the TV show I found his powers rather lame -- punches and kicks and tosses some lightning bolts around. Not impressed. Plus his...

    Krypton

    I tell you, Syfy has been putting out some extremely good content these past couple of years. I would not be surprised if Krypton didn't suck.

    Uh, don't they have transporter technology? There have been transporter accidents that do exactly that. But I guess that's not as visceral as chainsawing into someone.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    My friend pointed out a plot hole: in TOS the mirror-universe was unknown. Yet Discovery would suggest that the TOS crew should have been aware of it's existence. The story-arc isn't over so who knows how it resolves, but one thing is the Discovery should not be able to communicate their...

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    I don't think that's true. Isn't that the point behind the "Voight-Kampff" test? I'm not sure what Luv's deal is. She obviously had a very emotional response when Wallace was blabbing about replicant reproduction but then showed no hesitation or remorse for poor ol' Coco (granted, he was...

    Justice League (2017)

    Watching this now. Did no one else get the irony of Miles Dyson being the father of Cyborg? EDIT: Honestly, this wasn't that bad. I'd give it a 3/5. Granted, much like Wonder Woman, I will most likely never watch this again...at least, not any time soon.

    Path of Exile

    I just started playing PoE and decided to look at the numerous builds posted on their forums. Is there a FAQ explaining how to read this nonsense? I'm having a seizure with all the acronyms. And I can't seem to find a clear explanation how to work through a particular build's tree. Most...
