    The Expanse

    I've watched the pilot twice. Like everyone else has stated, this is a really,reallygood pilot (shocked that some Metacritic scores are very low). Loved the atmosphere and the hard sci-fi elements. The universe feels real and exactly how I imagine a future where humanity has started...

    South Park

    Great episode. I concur, this is turning out to be one of their best seasons. "Buckle up, buckaroos!"

    The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret is back!

    I thought he destroyed the world? Great series. Highly recommend.

    Correct. He's Hank Henshaw because his fucking name is "Hank Hernshaw". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hank_Henshaw#Television

    Fargo

    Wondering the same. I didn't notice any UFO reference or visual cue.

    "I'm an American. I don'thaveto understand anything!" I swear, this show has some of the best lines.

    Holy shit, this looks totally bad ass.

    Fargo

    Yeah, this makes sense. The Betty and Barney case was made into a movie during the 70s, popularizing the whole alien abduction and "missing time" phenomena.

    Limitless

    Well, he mentioned this in last week's episode. I believe he concluded that the resources required to create a stabilizer is way beyond his means.

    Fox Confirms The Greatest American Hero Reboot

    I LOVED this show as a child. I've been wondering, with all the hoopla over super hero movies and TV shows, when someone would bring back this series. I really hope they keep it to the level of humor and lightheartedness of the original's first season. The show took a turn for the worst in...

    Hey, remember that key? What was that all about? Nick's mom is on Limitless now.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Unless it's not a well-formed XML doc, I usually write serializable classes that serialize into XML. Way easier to work with object properties than screwing around with elements and attributes.

    The Astronomy Thread

    I still don't understand how a cloud of comets could blot out 20% of the star's light. That's a shit load of comets considering a Jupiter sized planet only reduces illumination by ~1%.

    HDTVs

    I need recommendations for a 55"+ 1080p HDTV that's great for consoles (PS4) and good enough for streamed movies/TV shows. I don't care about 4K, and it seems like 60hz is actually preferable for game consoles? I'm hoping I can pick something up this Black Friday for ~$500 or so, although...

    Dark Souls 3

    I'm on the east coast, so was too late to really play for long. Graphics look fantastic. All I've ever played on was consoles for the Soul games, so framerate was typical. Roll animation was weird.

    Dark Souls 3

    Got home this evening and now the code works. I guess their system was having problems this morning and was erroneously reporting used codes.
  22. ShakyJake

    Dark Souls 3

    Yeah, looking back at Dark Souls II stress test comments, only N number of players are allowed in with the code. I guess they send the same code out to everyone.

    Dark Souls 3

    Fuck! Playstation Store is reporting the code I received has already been used.

    Fargo

    'Based on a true story'. I know its not really based on a true story, instead some elements have some real life parallels. But I do distinctly recall a news story where a lady hit a guy with her car and just drove home with him stuck in the windshield. Anyway, great first episode.

    Naked and Afraid

    Wow, talk about a butter-face. Too bad she didn't hang around for more than 3 days.

    Scream Queens

    God damn, this show is fucking hilarious. That Matthew McConaughey impression was spot on.

    Homeland

    Right on, put that man in charge. "Hit reset"

    Fucking love this series. Can't wait.

    Sleepy Hollow

    I watched the first season, didn't watch the second. Do you think I could just skip S2 and go straight to S3?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Yeah I'm not questioning the value of automated testing at all. In fact, up until a couple years ago, I don't think they were doing any sort of testing other than manual. The problem I'm seeing is that the integration test code is a mess, hard to read and understand exactlywhatis being tested...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    So a few weeks back I mentioned I joined a new development team where thetesterswere the ones writing unit tests. Come to find out, they actually aren't unit tests. The testers (namely one guy and a new assistant) are creating automated integration tests -- so the tests involve database...

    Homeland

    The series, as a whole, is still better than most network television. I've enjoyed every season, but S1 and S4 were by far the best.

    Watchmen

    It could take place before the events of the movie. Not sure if I could stand 10 hours of blue wang, though.

    Limitless

    Enjoyed the second episode. Ratings improved over the pilot which is impressive. Very likable lead and good humor to boot.

    Blindspot--Jaimie Alexander on NBC this fall

    This feels exactly like Blacklist. Some chick with a mysterious past helps government agency hunt bad dudes. She's hot, though. I don't usually like tatted up female bods, but it works on her.

    Fear the Walking Dead

    See, that's the problem I have with the show so far. I cannot fathom how slow moving zombies could in any way pose a threat to military personnel armed to the teeth. And, honestly, I don't think the writers do either because of how they didn't show what happened during those fire fights. All...

    Supergirl

    I watched the pilot months ago. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Great fight scenes ala Justice League Unlimited. Actress fits the part too. Very cute but without being overly sexualized.
