There are essentially no sympathetic characters in this series. Everyone is an asshole in their own way, makes things a lot more interesting when you think about it.

Why do people hate Rose so much? I thought it was nice to see a character who isn't a princess / jedi knight / senator / queen in the series. Hell even Lando was the de-facto ruler of Bespin.

The Discovery only looks really good when it goes to Black Alert and the 'saucer section' starts rotating like a huge Stargate and then they do the folding space trick.

So a few years ago I moved to Massachusetts and shortly thereafter had Taco Bell for the first time in several years. I was digusted by the stuff in a way that made me very sad. I figured 'eh maybe my taste buds have changed or my memory of Taco Bells flavor doesn't match the reality'...

Burning question that can't possibly wait: Why is it 'Waluigi' instead of Wuigi or 7uigi?

I like pancakes, eggs, sausage, etc... just not in the same bite.

There should be a special achievement award for Best Casting Director for this series... whenever they put up the pictures on the wall at the end of an episode I'm always floored.

I admit due to this show I can't ever look at Blake Bortles the same now... not that one would ever want to... Blake Bortles Is Getting the Job Done, but It Hasn't Won Him Any Fans

The OWL stuff is so bizarre given that there's only one actual 'stadium'. I mean I'm willing to bet none of the members of the 'Boston' Uprising has ever set foot in New England.

I've never been able to get over the initial revulsion factor to try a McGriddle. It just seems so completely alien...

For a movie that premieres on Netflix you have to be a class A total cheapskate to pirate it. I mean we're talking Ebenezer Scrooge married to Shylock...

That can justify the original because there could be a very complex series of completely different events that result in there being a Kirk / Spock etc that also existed on an Enterprise etc. But in going back to the well repeatedly over the years to the same alternative universe makes that...

Captain Killy was kinda badass

I have Alexa all over the house and use it as the default smart interface for the home. I am glad to see that Amazon and Google are going to war over the Virtual Assistant / Smart Speaker space since that should drive forward some impressive development of skills and whatnot.

Had a 'fun' time last week as I suddenly heard lots of dripping on the ceiling as if it was raining... opened up the attic and sure enough there was water dripping from everywhere. The sustained lengthy period of below-freezing temperature in New England coupled with improper moisture venting...

Taco Bell Stackers... how do they stack up? This sudden resurgence of 'dollar menu' items is quite interesting

I still play this game every other day or so for a couple matches. My issue is that the progression is just so fucking annoying. Given that I play almost exclusively ship-combat I would have naturally chosen to pimp out my ships and indeed have purchased nothing but ship crates with the...

We started playing Charterstone last night. Was a strange start to a game but we really got into it and the whole nature of how you learn / rules change as you go along. Played the first three games of the campaign and had a blast. Note: none of us watched the video or had any knowledge...

My favorite line in the season has to be : "Someone better check the ph levels in that jazuzzi because these bitches are basic"

Wondering if we arent going to have an earthbound Doctor for at least part of the next series as she deals with life while trying to find / fix her TARDIS. The three new 'companions' would go along with that as they might be her local support network while shes sorting things out and then get...

Binged to finish off the season this weekend and yeah I'm very sad we won't get to see the payoff for all the things they set up... I know Netflix is the primary 'broadcaster' in the UK, perhaps they would be willing to fund a 3rd season?

Well yes that is a persistent issue. There's four basic categories of self-checkout morons: 1) Time Traveller. Has seemingly never seen a self-checkout kiosk before, has no idea how the card reader works, uses cash and tries to pay with exact change into the machine. Either this person is...

I will say that something is clearly up with the chip-reader tech as I got a new card a month ago (thanks to an attempted ID theft) which is now lightning fast when used in a chip reader. I put the card in after I've scanned the last item, the card reader overrides the "choose your payment...

I totally forgot that this existed until it popped up today on Netflix. Gonna have to.reciew what was going on at the end of season 1

US mall operators must buy into e-retail and new use of space Toys R Us Teetering on the Brink of Collapse, UK Retail Sector Crisis Perfect Storm :: The Market Oracle :: Sears Strikes Second Deal With Amazon as Core Business Continues to Collapse As we exit the holiday season I can't help...

So "Music of the Spheres" got leaked as an Xmas present. This was the 'prequel' music composed for Destiny which was never released due to one of the many levels of fuckery that got wrapped up in the original release of Destiny and the abortion of the original storyline. It is more clear by...

They have a Story Group that serves as an executive council of sorts when it comes to Star Wars canon. All the writers / directors of various products in the franchise work with them to review and refine their material. Rian Johnson mentioned in interviews being with the Group for weeks...

We watched it in a group and overall we liked it. We fully intended to rip into the movie MST3k style but spent most of the time quiet and actually enjoying the film aside from the occasional "damn elves are badasses" comment. The overall story of cop + partner that encounters macguffin is...

They do need a time jump of somekind (that they can put an animated series in to cover ala Clone Wars). At this point the entirety of Episode 7 and Episode 8 have taken place over a week, week and a half at most.

Based on the terrible reviews we decided to do a group watch of this tomorrow evening. Seems like it may be riff-tastic.

Nick Carraway, the point of view character for the whole damn book, is literally Gatsby's neighbor. No character development? Lets just look at one character : Poe

Without spoilers I feel that some people are fixating on the wrong things. It is as if you are watching the Great Gatsby and coming away with the idea that its the tale of a guy who lives on Long Island and has a really annoying neighbor. On a very fundamental level that is exactly what...

I kept racking my brain trying to figure out why the woman on the First Order bridge seemed so damn familiar... its Lysa Arryn from Game of Thrones. One of those faces you instantly recognize but can't quite place.

Apparently they went to Frank Oz and asked him to do Yoda for the film and he offered to do the puppet as well. When Frank Oz offers to do the puppetry then you say YES

So we know why it wasn't on BBC America... its airing tonight on HBO so apparently a co-production between the BBC and HBO

Rian Johnson employed the age-old technique of 'show don't tell' to good effect. This is why he got his own trilogy. I love Star Wars but the movie series has been absolutely crap at communicating with the audience other than blatant exposition. Take Vader for example. How do we know he...

Their QA on this whole 'Fated Engram' business must have been craptacular...
