    Halt and Catch Fire

    I really dug the first episode (haven't seen the second). Now, is this company developing the first IBM clone? I recall IBM fighting that back in the day.

    I was very saddened over the death of that absolutely gorgeous blonde.

    Playstation 4

    Totally worth it. My PS3 still gets more game time than my PS4.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    20% by default. Less if the service is incredibly bad. I would never leave nothing unless I was spat on or something. I've done as much as 50% if they were amazing. And, if you're a waiter then here are a few tips (hurr hurr): * Don't try and impress me with your memory. When you take...

    Babylon 5

    Really? I'm thinking it's best viewed no earlier than "War Without End" -- which is the latter part of season 3. God, all this talk makes me want to go back and re-watch the series. Unfortunately all the rips are ass quality. I know, I should just buy the DVDs...

    Babylon 5

    Oh, and some of the TV-movies were great too.Babylon 5: In the Beginningis a must watch. But only after you've seen the, what? first 3 seasons.

    I'm betting most of you guys have seen this, BUT if you have not and love Star Trek and B5 check out: Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning :: Parody's final frontier! It's a parody of Star Trek and B5. It's few years old now, but it still has amazing special effects. It's probably the largest...

    Those were some THICK magazines. I used them for the BBS (!) listings. Saw a Computer Shopper back it the 2000s and they were super thin by that point..

    Babylon 5

    For me, one of the most memorable cliffhangers of all time is Sheridan at Zahadoom. The scene with the whitestar crashing through the dome is the very definition of epic.

    Stargate Reboot Trilogy

    That's sad..and explains the weight gain. I thought it was just the middle-age spread.

    The 80s kid thread

    Even though the movie itself was released in 79, it was during the 80s that it was shown on television. And, as a kid, scared the absolute shit out of me. Funny, though -- I went back and rewatched Amityville Horror a few years ago and it was actually pretty lame and not really scarey at...

    Stargate Reboot Trilogy

    Yeah I watched the series in full and don't recall this explanation. I'm surprised an Asgard could be a host for a Goa'uld.

    Stargate Reboot Trilogy

    McKay made Atlantis. He was a recurring character in SG-1 and I was stoked that he was part of the new Atlantis crew. Universe, however, had no redeeming qualities.

    Shit, this sounds awesome. They should make a damn movie based on this.

    Saw Rose's naked behind. Not sure that's anything to get excited about, though. Enjoying the series so far. Bride of Frankenstein woo!

    I fucking loved Greatest American Hero. The pilot, by the way, is still very watchable. I never understood why no one has tried to resurrect that show. With today's special effects, it would be quite easy to do a re-imagining of the series justice.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    "I, Borg" should be in the somewhere. Maybe under Picard. One thing you will notice -- those are some short-ass skirts. Really, TOS has some absolutely beautiful women with some of the wildest outfits. (has not aged well..)

    I was born in 72 but I have no real memory of the 70s. Although I do vaguely recall Shazam and some weird dune buggy with eyes. Oh, and Freddy the Frog.

    Star Trek - The Beyonder

    What annoyed me about Voyager, especially in seasons 1 and 2, was how they kept running into the same aliens (I think they were called the Kazons). I assume Voyager was traveling in a straight line back home. They were technologically superior to these Kazon jackasses yet they somehow managed...

    How much importance do you guys place on certifications? I'm speaking of the Microsoft certs specifically, like the MCSD. Our department manager recently mandated that we all must obtain this certification by 2015. I don't' really have a problem with that. However, one of the guys on our...
