    Star Trek: Discovery

    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...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    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

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

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

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

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

    Altered Carbon

    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.

    Altered Carbon

    If you can watch it in 4K then you owe it to yourself to do so. It really pops in a way I have not really seen in other 4K productions

    The Good Place

    Im intrigued by the fact that Janet is more than just a Janet by this point. Curious way to end the season, I wonder how long they will explore them in their 'second chance'? Its a pretty big departure from the very stylized 'neighborhood' set.

    Altered Carbon

    My buddy has a reviewer's account because he does a lot of horror marketing / promotion and thus had access to the first couple of episodes for review purposes. I have to say I am immediately hooked and very much on board with this show. I will say, however, that I have not read the source...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    They officially delayed it to Early 2019 which likely means we won't see it until March/April 2019 at this point. They have to be under a lot of pressure and the general malaise towards both Bioware and this IP can't be helping .

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Im not entirely sure having new sub-races counts as 'content' in terms of the pre-expansion content drought.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The base premise is very unengaging . Continued war on Azeroth makes no fucking sense now that the Legion is dead and you can colonize whole new worlds . Similarly the whole subrace business is just handled badly. Alliance gets two races practically pulled from someone's ass based on the...

    Pacific Rim: Uprising (2018)

    Their choice of opening week is really bad. There's a big gap right now at the box office which could have been filled by something like this and done at least moderately well. Sandwiched in between A Wrinkle in Time and Ready Player One is just asking for a drubbing.

    Britannia

    The story is rather uneven, but who doesn't love Ian McDiarmid chewing up the scenery as the Emp..err King.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    A good portion of the Expanded Universe was garbage. Mara Jade was cool and certain aspects of the Solo kids were interesting, but everything involving the Yuuzhan Vong was sado-masochist fan fic at best. They do get to mine some of it for good ideas though, hence Thrawn, Tie Defenders...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    While I applaud their decision to go 'all-in' to try and bring their A-game to the whole situation... I find the IP completely underwhelming.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Well it looks like Mistweaver is more-or-less back to its state from MoP albeit without the faster gcd. I always liked the constant channel of soothing mist plus the auxiliary mist from the Jade Serpent with instacast bigger heals while channeling. Arcane Mage seems to be going back to the...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I mean I have to hand it to them, their constant changes have kept the game at least somewhat fresh over the years unlike the competition...well when there still was competition anyway. That having been said it really is annoying to have to re-evaluate the characters I have to figure out which...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    They do have a valid point about the whole telekinetic business showing up in Empire though. While at this point its hard to conceive of Jedi who didn't move rocks around, it was a radical new power when seen in Empire. Then again we also saw Force Speed added in Phantom Menace and then...

    Car Buying Help

    Fiance rear ended someone hard enough that the driver's airbag deployed but the car was still drive-able. The front grill and bumper were smashed and it was leaking radiator fluid but I thought it was likely fixable but the insurance adjuster has totaled the car. Any advice on what to do...

    2018 Oscars

    Three Billboards is such an 'Oscar movie'. The only way it could be more appealing to the Academy is if it starred Meryl Streep

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I'm betting that despite Lrell's death howl we will still have Voq around if only as suppressed knowledge within Tyler. I thoroughly enjoyed Anthony Rapp's performance playing off himself while trapped in the Network. It's clear that Stamets is still going to be the key to all this...

    Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters (2017)

    By doing it in animation you open yourself up to lots of possibilities in terms of visceral imagery and action that would be prohibitively expensive to film. So, naturally, most of the movie consists of people talking and whining about how Earth belongs to humans (despite humans only being 1/3...

    Doctor Who

    This is the pinnacle of the post 2005 era for me. Eleven + the Ponds was such pure fun.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    This is starting to show the hallmarks of its origin as an anthology series. The show seems to be blowing its wad plot-wise on everything in this one season and not really setting up much for longer term storytelling.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I like how in the scene with Ash Tyler and Mirror Voq they are the same height...despite all the bits about shortening femurs etc.

    I Quit My Job

    Back in 2012 I quit my nice cushy low-six-figure aerospace/defense job and just up and moved to Boston. I had a buddy here who had just bought a nice condo and wanted a roommate, and RomneyCare was a suitable support net once COBRA ran out. While it's not for everyone by any means, slamming...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I can't help but feel that these are all just a high tech Ponzi scheme that are perpetuated more by people who are buying in to get rich rather than being used as actual legal tender. Yeah you have some coffee shops that accept block chain whatever plus the misc doodads, but it still feels...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    People are pre-ordering cardboard... Let that sink in for a moment. I can't help but think the utility of this is fleeting at best.

    Travelers

    I am getting caught up on this since it dropped right in the midst of holiday madness. I just love this damn show for reasons I'm not fully aware of other than it provides a continual source of work for the peeps who had done Stargate back in the day. Jared Abrahamson as Trevor is some...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Part of me thinks there has to be a redemption arc for Ash Tyler based on his status as a hot guy on Trek, but this show has been bold about doing what is necessary for the story and not giving a fuck about conventional series writing so...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Of course that's the Emperor...I feel like a moron for that even being a surprise. I feel they knew they fucked up Klingons and worked extra hard to redeem themselves with the Andorian and Tellurites. Hope we can get one of each on the show as recurring cast.

    Black Mirror

    God damn but I love this crazy anthology show. I think we all need a bit of Twilight Zone in our collective gestalt to give our rational everyday lives a swift kick in the shorts

    Altered Carbon

    I heard about that. Great example of marketing in action.
