    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.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    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

    I don't quite understand what they did to real Ash. A brain swap?

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Can we stay in the Mirror Universe, please?

    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...

    The X-Files

    I wasn't able to watch the S11 premiere until last night. So, wait a minute, S10 was all in Scully's head?

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    If replicants lack empathy, how can they cry?

    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.

    Inside No. 9

    This is pretty good...and quite hilarious at times. Thanks for the recommendation.

    The Gifted

    Haha...I love those triplets.

    Black Mirror

    Great fucking episode. For me, best of the series thus far.

    Retail Apocalypse aka The E-Commerce Thread

    Not for me. I can't remember the last time I had an Amazon package delivered by UPS. Also, poor USPS is forced to deliver on Sundays now.

    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...

    It (2017)

    I really enjoyed this. I thought Pennywise was creepy as hell and had more of an other-worldly feel to it than Tim Curry's version (which is still awesome, of course). I never read the novel so I went back and read the Wikipedia plot synopsis. Holy shit, glad they didn't follow the book...

    Jean-Claude Van Johnson

    You know, I don't think I've seen Jean-Claude since, probably, Timecop. So it was pretty jarring at how old he looks. At least, in the face - he's obviously kept his body in amazing shape.

    Post Your Pet

    I love my backyard squirrels but I think something keeps getting mine. The ones I was familiar with from a year ago are all gone. I noticed they would often have some pretty nasty wounds on them. I live in a gated lake community so the only natural predators around would be hawks or...

    The Walking Dead

    Sorry, late to the game here. I didn't get a chance to watch the fall finale until last night. So, am I missing anything here? Why would they punch a hole in The Sanctuary and then leave assuming everything will go according to plan? I would've kept a large group camped outside that place to...

    Lucifer

    Mazikeen needs to hit the gym.

    Future Man

    Yeah, holy shit, the "Pandora's Mailbox" episode was fucking hilarious. "Setting mood lighting to -- fucked!"

    The Orville

    Good episode, but partially ripped off Blink of an Eye (episode)

    Mr. Robot

    Man, after hearing "In Time", I had to go re-watch Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

    Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)

    Watched this last night and thought it was pretty mediocre. Definitely at the bottom of my list of Marvel movies. Holland was alright as Spider-Man but I don't particularly like him being some 16 year old kid. The Tony Stark suit is retarded (plus Stark himself is starting to get on my...

    The Good Place

    I dunno, the charm of the show is quickly fading for me. It'll be interesting to see where they can take the story with a 3rd season.

    The Walking Dead

    I bought a Jeep this weekend specifically for this reason. GG product placement.

    The Orville

    Last night's episode was pretty cool. Kind of an amalgamation of a few TNG episodes. Also seems like this should have been their Halloween episode. One thing that bugs the crap out of me, though, is Alara's forehead and ear prosthetics. They look incredibly fake.

    The Flash

    You know, it's laughable at how easily the Flash is defeated at times. Him running laps around something then promptly getting knocked out is getting mighty old.

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

    Honestly, I don't know what you're doing here to cause this. The only time I ever had an issue with git, and this was during the learning phase, is switching to a different branch without committing existing changes first. You'll end up carrying those uncommitted changes over to the branch you...

    Lucifer

    For eternal torture scenarios, that's the version I want -- never remembering previous iterations!

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

    Oh, sadly, when I say "regression testing" I mean testing performed manually by the testers. Currently, we have no tests that test functionality between UI widgets and their consumers. We do have a handful of unit tests that test the API, but when it comes to the Angular side of things it's a...

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

    Of course, but you don't regression test for no reason. That's my point, they are constantly touching parts of the system that have nothing to with our current needs which causes us to have to go back and re-test parts of our feature that may be affected. For example: we perform a merge in...

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

    I pop in here every few months to rant. So, here goes: So some of you may remember me complaining about our decision to use Angular 2 as the framework for our Silverlight application re-write. We're about 8 months in from when we had an 'architecture' team hammer out an application framework...

    Nathan For You

    Surprisingly touching (and long!) episode. I'm guessing that was the season finale.

    The Orville

    All I know is that doctors in the future don't give a shit about the Hippocratic Oath. They'll blow you away without hesitation.

    Lucifer

    Uh-huh -- needs to "quiet the voices". Like from all the praying perhaps?

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Funny enough I was more pumped about the show when I thought she was the series' captain. It's too bad because I think a TOS-style episodic show with her would've worked quite well.

    The Exorcist

    Holy shit, everyone is gay.
