Technically not fast food, but weirdly mesmerizing...

Lorca is clearly a whackjob. At least this explains why one of the main characters is a fungus researcher. I'm going to assume the prison shuttle never makes it to it's destination in order to cover up Burnham's continued place on Discovery. This is based on Saru's death-antenae activating...

Did the Nightfall this week and also managed to finish Rat King. Judicious use of upgrades and turning in faction tokens got me to 291 which aint too bad given that I started the week at 278. I fear that this week's Nightfall being so easy will spoil us for next week when it will once again be...

Armin Shimmerman as Quark was just damn superb. The whole way that DS9 turned the Ferengi into a running gag and then not a running gag was genius.

I think they regard the old makeup as being not alien enough. By this point we as fans are so steeped in Klingon history and lore from TNG/DS9/VOY that we don't really regard them as being 'the other' at this point. So they throw this big curveball in and show us a radically different sort of...

Re-watched the Mists of Pandaria cinematic owing to the 5-year anniversary of its release. I may be in the minority, but I really liked MoP. I think I had more actual fun during the Pandaria era than at any other point in WoW history. I wonder if we will get another cultural-exploration /...

This is pre-history, maybe this is why they were able to free up money in the 'design a probe' sub-committee and get some probes built.

Are there any leaderboards or similar for the faction rally? I would have expected some sort of UI element in the Tower or elsewhere that showed the relative rankings

Nah the whole season is an arc that deals with the Klingon War and we will be getting updates to the story from both sides. Two of the regular cast are Klingons and show as appearing in all or nearly all of the episodes.

You gotta admit that Les Moonves has pretty big balls. Not only putting the new Trek series on a streaming service that has no other content that would ever appeal to the core demographic of the show, but including commercials! That takes serious stones.

Why do you like VW? I've been playing Storm since I unlocked it and can't see giving up Arc Soul anytime in the forseeable future. Also: Who uses Healing vs Damage buff circle on their Warlock? I actually tell my Fireteam I'm using damage boost and instead put down a healing circle since...

The ship's overall aesthetic with the holographic everything and transparent touchscreens is certainly more in line with the Kelvin timeline. About the only nod to this being 'olde tyme Trek' was the satellite dish transporter pads.

Ive often wondered if Starfleet ships aren't designed by the worst electrical engineers imaginable... Why does the outer hull of the ship taking damage result in your duty station console exploding in a cascade of sparks? What the hell are these displays made out of?

Add me to the chorus of "bullshit" on the NightFall having a timer. Was having a good time with my buddies yesterday doing the Nightfall for the first time and even though we were moving at a quick pace we still managed to lose on time. Managed to get to 278, so a couple more points and I can...

I borrowed a friend's CBS All Access and was watching the first episode via the PS4 app when the service crashed. Seems to have done so within a couple minutes of the first episode's delayed Live airing so I am guessing they got hammered with server requests. For the part I saw Lt Saru was by...

So Iris and Barry try to get married and Nazi's from Earth-X invade which they stop with the help of all their wedding guests plus The Ray (and other Freedom Fighters?)

I have not done those, so that's something I suppose -- although my primary weapon is already at 275 I suppose having a boost to 287 in that slot can only help things along. I mainly want to get to 280 so I can at least actively participate in Mod Slot Machine fun

Grrrr 272 and the only way 'up' are Powerful Rewards and the occasional Exotic I can infuse into another item to boost power. Naturally, everything I get is for the two equipment slots I already have at 275 and 280 respectively :(

How does Real Eleanor fit into this? Does she become a foil for Michael constantly trying to get him to slip up so she can report him to Sean?

Ive had an HTC One for the last several years (a couple of iterations of it) and thoroughly enjoyed the phone and so was hoping to hold out for the Pixel 2, but my phone died and I had to switch ASAP. I have to say I love my Pixel XL. All the things I like about the HTC hardware and supreme...

Was interesting seeing things from the Bad Place workers point of view. Obviously they can't keep rebooting, so I'm guessing Michael ends up getting the humans to help him fool Sean / Bad Place workers in order to not be eradicated. It also bugged me most of the episode until I realized I knew...

So loading into the Tower and I get a black screen. Can hear the ambient sounds around, just no visuals. This has happened before where it was slow to load and black for 10-20 seconds, but it's at a few minutes now and counting...

Puerto Rico is already financially wrecked and now it is getting hammered physically. At what point do you just throw up your arms and condemn the whole island, evict everyone, and start over?

Dishwasher and microwave were the only two appliances that are not new in my new place and the dishwasher is gonna need to be replaced sooner rather than later. The existing model was probably budget low-end installed by the builders a decade ago and it just isn't terribly sturdy or good at the...

They stealthily changed the headline to insert the word 'female'

Everyone loses. As a Gen-X'er whose Baby-boomer parents/extended family made an active point of NOT talking about Vietnam this is very fascinating. The fascinating history that sets up the whole situation was completely new to me, but really any specifics were completely lacking in my...

For those of you curious the 'explicit language' versions are available online at pbs.org

I'm sitting at 269 and I don't think I have a viable way to get past that point until the weekly reset.

Andromeda Deluxe Edition is on sale for Xbox One and PS4 at $22 on Amazon. The game is entertaining enough to warrant picking up at that price point.

Sadly I already have the thing, so no Xur for me.

I will say I always thought Destiny 2 would have the player realizing that at least one of the 'enemy' races was not all bad and end up joining forces with them / opening up a new race for player character Guardians. For a bit there I thought the Cabal were headed in that direction, but nope...

I like how he makes up bullshit about this being a life-long dream of his to compose music for Trek and that if child-him could see him now... Bitch if you have been thinking about Trek music, specifically the work of both Alexander Courage and Jerry Goldsmith since you were a kid and...

The stuff goes on pretty thin all things considered. I have two gallons for a much larger / taller deck and think I'll be fine.

CBS has embargoed reviews of the show until after the first episode airs... because that's always a clear vote of confidence.

I have a deck that is 10 years old and the owners never stained it / sealed it / took care of it at all. The thing was sickly grey and looked like garbage but I got an inexpensive power washer from Lowe's and went to town on it. Now it looks all fresh and new and I'm going to apply a...

So I've been loading up my guy with Arc cooldown mods and am using the gloves that reduce Arc cooldown with melee kills. I find myself able to have a pretty decent uptime on both my Super and the grenade / ArcSoul abilities and that seems far more useful than the other things I can get with a...

I do like the parts where we see what the rest of the crew is doing while otherwise just sitting on the bridge. Especially when it takes 19 hours to get to the destination and the only thing you've done is turn on the autopilot.

So gonna spoiler this in case people haven't finished the main quest series

Very derivative and unoriginal. Jerry Goldsmith this is not.
