Trump’s Tax Cuts in Hand, Companies Spend More on Themselves Than on Wages Surprise_level = 0 My own company has indicated that it will not use its tax savings for any new investment or worker raises. In asking around to friends and family no one I know is getting a higher salary or even a...

Make sure to check out Britannia, the SKY/Amazon co-produced series set in 43 AD and covering the Roman invasion of Celtic Britain. While the overall presentation is moderate at best, Ian McDiarmid as an aged pissed off king is worth it alone. (Full disclosure -- Emperor Palpatine is my...

Season 2 was much denser in terms of moving forward the plot. It is worth noting that the first 'book' doesn't end until halfway through season 2. As a result there are several big payoffs in the first part of the season

If the rumors are true and a Filoni-led series set after The Last Jedi showing the resurgence of the Resistance could easily change a whole heck of a lot of things for the better .

Can we have a non-asain MMORPG ever again? Did WildStar kill the western MMO genre?

The company was not in trouble before the leveraged buyout to take it private. It was losing market share to Amazon and WalMart but was still profitable. In fact they moved to issue a new IPO and take the company public in 2010 but shelved those plans in 2013 after the profits continued to...

The funny thing is that many people in the massive behemoth that is the financial services 'industry' see themselves as doing a universally positive good. Divesting a company of toxic assets, 'migrating' debt, leveraged buyouts -- all of these things bring in amazing short returns and that is...

Toys ‘R’ Us, Seeking Stability, May Close 200 More Stores This is a nice example of why the financial industry, and private equity firms in particular, are the root of pretty much all evil in the world. In 2005 some executives from a small group of private equity firms took Toys R Us private...

I loved the 'Archon' class from Rift which was very much all about support but probably went too far into the 'must have' category simply because it was ubiquitous and singular in nature. It would, however, be cool if Death Knights had a natural synergy with Shadow Priests and a synergy...

This is part of the reason why WoW is fundamentally permabroken. With only three actual 'roles', two of which are needed in very small numbers, there's far too much emphasis on DPS as a one-dimensional attribute. I've often thought there should be many more synergistic elements shared between...

I like that they cast Parker Posey as the new Dr. Smith so as to avoid the somewhat creepy pedo nature of the original.

A lot of things come back to the Father, Daughter and Son

Do not disrespect the Bedazzler!

I didn't even know this was a thing...

That was painful

Well. Clearly they saved money on the lighting budget...

The DLC, though placed storywise towards the middle, was clearly aimed at people who had finished the game. I did not need to use Ropecasters, but I had access to all manners of extra utility that a person would not have at that point in the game. I did notice that Ice damage was super keen...

T'Kuvma = massive drama queen.

This is all going to end very tragically. I have a feeling it will make Rogue One look like a sweet sixteen party even knowing that Hera and Chopper make it through at least Endor.

Technically he wasn't the chief medical officer... he was just one of the ship's doctors I believe.

So they confirmed that Shazad Latif will be back for season 2 which they start filming in March, so clearly not everything will be hunky dory with the way the war ended.

BTW casting Max Headroom as the fight promoter and Galen the Technomage as the guy at Head in the Clouds were nice touches

Ash/Voq is a very interesting character now. I sometimes think they had the end game planned out in terms of characterization and then worked backwards. Well that was a fucked up ending

Ahh clearly I should stop the subscription then!

The figure skating commentary from Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski is pure comedy gold. The two of them are not just throwing shade, they are hurling it at mach 2.

I was all on board and loving it... until episode 7. I actually yelled at the screen 'please get your hallmark bullshit out of my cyberpunk'

I used to get invites all the dang time but then everything just stopped. I thought it might have been something I posted somewhere or something I did to inadvertently annoy Alex, but looking back I realize that everything stopped happening Alpha/Beta wise when I hit 40... Did I age out of...

Yeah swapping universes would make more sense, but that wouldn't explain how the station ended up on the opposite side of the sun. For that matter how the heck does the engineer end up in the wall given that the station was, again, on the opposite side of the sun. Oh and how is she meant to...

The science in this movie is painful, from the very premise to the fucked up way they simulate gravity with rotation I found myself yelling at the screen with alarming frequency.

I still scratch my head as to why Qo'noS is pronounced 'kro-nos'. Well that and the whole capital at the end business.

Well her academic background is psychology / sociology so guessing she had a fairly non-standard admiral. Her specialty was stated to be negotiation and diplomacy with new races so she's probably only remaining because everyone competent is dead. I am wondering if they won't use time travel...

Don't forget that his name was an intentional nod to Flash Gordon, a property that Lucas was aching to make a film using but was unable to secure the rights and hence made his own 'serial' saga

I really do like the overall graphical style they chose for the spellcasting in the MCU. It's internally consistent which helps it 'fit'

Was basing it purely on the outfit. Harsh militaristic lines along with the Black White and Red color scheme usually associated with the Empire

Imperial Khaleesi?

I love the people complaining about white washing Kovacs character. 1) The character is of mixed heritage to begin with hence the whole extremely non-asian surname of ''Kovacs" 2) The loss of identity is the whole fucking point of the entire show.
