    The Magicians

    "Ohhh - why didn't you say so ?' Haha.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    True Detective

    It's physical brain degeneration that could be anywhere - you can't exactly start randomly cutting bits out to look for it.

    Travelers

    I agree, although I'll give them credit for trying something different - becoming a strong, confident woman and kicking the shit out of abuser arguably makes things worse, which isn't something you see very often.

    Marvel's The Punisher

    Eh ? Disney owns the rights to all of those shows, netflix is renting them off them. Disney can just up prices until the shows are no longer profitable, or just make it clear that the rights renewing is not going to happen, no matter how much they pay. Netflix cancelling profitable shows...

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    I think the mistake was more assuming that just because MTG could get away with a greedy as fuck pricing scheme 20 years ago, that that means they can get away with the same thing now. Pretty much the same mistake a bunch of 'WoW killers' made, just because *someone* succeeded enough to get...

    If you woke up one day in the body of an age appropriate female, what would you do?

    Entirely apart from assuming the mechanism, this doesn't seem likely. You wouldn't 'just be them' if you have your own memories, and attitudes and behaviors seems a particularly big stretch. Even if you suddenly find that dick is attractive, it doesn't mean you are going to go out and suck them...

    The Passage (Fox)

    Eh, I liked the first episode. The Noah doctors are obviously the dumbest motherfuckers alive though - they are the kind of experts that were too dumb to make the cut for the crew of the Prometheus.

    Cowboy Bebop

    Meh, that's overly simplistic - it's not like Pirates of the Caribbean or Transformers had some complicated cerebral story. It's a fair point that the visuals are a significant part of the appeal of anime, and really don't transfer over at all. That being said though, comic book movies have...

    What did you just read?

    Discord's Apple - Carrie Vaughn I got this one ages ago and only just got around to it. It's setup is actually kind of like warehouse 13, where a storeroom of legendary items is kept by some particular guardians. Although, in this case, they are keeping the items for some specific time when...

    The Orville

    That makes it worse, if it was actually a mass issue they could just take all the kids then people by weight rather than an arbitrary number. Plus, the shuttle ceasing to work instead of moving more slowly when overloaded requires some serious handwaving. Face it, it was just a half-assed...

    Winter 2018/2019 Anime Thread

    Shield Hero : seems good so far. That chick clearly wants the dick pretty desperately to come up with all of that on the spur of the moment. Boogiepop : Hmm, didn't really grab me. Has some potential though I guess.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    The hottest girl in my high school class was actually called Michael, but spelled Mykal or something like that. It was weird, but eh.

    Winter 2018/2019 Anime Thread

    Gridman was ok, I ended up watching all of it. I don't get the love though.

    The Orville

    Wow, that episode was almost as subtle as someone smashing you over the head with a sledgehammer while screaming the moral at you. There are 'Drugs are BAD kids !' after-school specials that are embarrassed on the behalf of the writers.

    Winter 2018/2019 Anime Thread

    Seems a weird idea - Waver was only in fate/zero to show how a kid with guts and determination actually does against a bunch of seasoned experts. He's also pond scum as a person, any redeeming qualities were a reflection of how awesome Rider was.

    Tidelands

    I thought this was interesting enough to finish it. Not amazing quality, but boobs make up for a number of shortcomings. Amusingly, while the show Siren is about mermaids, this show isn't about mermaids, but about sirens.

    Hey, she has noone but herself to blame if she decides both her husband and her boss aren't up to her current standards ;p

    Fall 2018 Anime Thread

    I like that it's overall pretty constructive. He's building up his village and minions, improving their quality of life etc, rather than just running around randomly beating up stuff. He's also generally a decent guy, where anime heroes have a tendency to be completely insufferable. Slime and...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Stop undermining the war effort traitor ! Next you will be claiming that strip mining islands for azerite to 'stop the damage caused by mining it' doesn't make any sense.

    Artifact - The DOTA Card Game

    The monetization model was too greedy for me, especially given it's effectively pvp only, but I've been keeping an eye on it because the gameplay looked interesting. It seems to have cratered super hard though. Artifact - Steam Charts Yikes.

    Mortal Engines (2018)

    I thought it was ok - the plot and characters weren't great, but the setting was very original. The set pieces with the cities were great. The central premise was ludicrous nonsense ( the mining city being a week of fuel for london ? haha, maybe if it was converted directly to energy ) but it...

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

    I really liked this one. I've never seen anything quite like it - the way they just went with a heap of different animation styles at the same time with zero fucks given was really unique. I had one very minor complaint thinking about it afterwards

    The Mandalorian

    You either have a really, really weird idea about what 'beached whale' means, or you are sitting on the papparazi find of the century.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I can't believe they fucked up pet battles in 8.1 - how hard can it be to just leave them the fuck alone when they are working ? ;p

    Counterpart

    He was talking about the guy that got shanked in the basement prison - it was the spy that she gave up to lower suspicion earlier in the episode.

    Counterpart

    They both spend most of the day at work, and they can't really get anyone to watch her without raising suspicion.

    Marvel's Daredevil

    Gee, who could have seen that coming. I am shocked I tell you ;p Sadly, this info probably won't make the slightest bit of difference due to the derpiness that pervades big business, where it's better to burn it to the ground than to let someone else 'win'.

    X4 Foundations

    Wait what ? MoO2 ends with conquering Antarres - if you have the military to do that, you can just do it - if you don't, you certainly haven't 'won' already. Entirely apart from that, this entire line of thinking is vaguely ridiculous to me anyway - it's like saying 'Well, I'm inevitably going...

    What did you just read?

    I've read a few of the ones in discussion recently, so may as well do another roundup. Skyward - Brandon Sanderson I really enjoyed this one - story is about the beaten down remnants of humanity hiding in caves on the crumbling remains of a heavy industry world, fighting a losing battle...

    The 'black ciri' thing was all bullshit.

    Westworld

    Seems like it shouldn't have any impact, that set was pretty much only used for flashbacks anyway, and they are presumably out of the park for next season.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    I thought Skyward was really good, even by Sanderson standards.

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    Legends is like expendables and expendables 2 - tried to be serious and legit to start with, but realised that they are going to seem ridiculous anyway, so just embraced the crazy and went with it, becoming much more fun in the process.

    Titans

    Never seen teen titans, don't know anything about them other than complaining from this thread. This wasn't bad, certainly no Inhumans. Well, at least so far. Will watch more. I thought Greyson and the blue-haired girl (Rachel?) were good, the tiger and the mall-cop was pretty funny, and the...

    What did you just read?

    Haven't been reading as many books recently, some branching out into other media types : From webtoon, which is basically regularly updated serial comics: "The Gamer" - this is pretty entertaining, but I guess you have to get used to the idea it's never going to be finished and just wander on...

    That's the same problem - the reward is 'feral' even if you aren't.

    It's fox, 4 eps and then cancellation.
