We enjoyed it. We want more.

We met her in 2018 or so at the local con. I'm sure she tells the tale all the time, but we talked about how she was going to quit the show, but Dr. Martin Luther King called her up and said she needed to stay. That her being there mattered. Meeting her and George Takei is as close as I've been...

different strokes, different folks. Plenty of people play chess, canasta, or bridge their whole damn lives just fine. D&D (or just about any RPG) isn't the ruleset, it's the infinite variety of what we do inside of it that keeps it fresh for me. That's what makes it unlike board games. Because...

From a certain perspective, you only need the DMG, PH and MM to have a lifetime of fun. the drive to buy more games, variety, newness, FOMO, that's just human foible. I don't see retiring in my future. I'll work until I'm dead because the age of retirement and the bucket of cash needed keeps...

Supporting this point, especially the timing, putting Nichelle Nichols on the bridge of the Enterprise is what normalized Black people in important positions. It inspired Black people that they could be there. It showed it as normal and perfectly fine for the folks who needed to see that...

Overall, we liked the new season. Things we've noticed: darn near every episode had a song. like a whole song performance. That was kinda weird. This is not a talent show. the pacing was very meandering, especially the pre-intro starts. Way too much wandering around and not drilling into what...

Here in my part of Houston, we had rain on the 24th of May (I took a picture and sent it to a friend to demonstrate how hard it rains). Then no rain in June. Frequently 100F temps throughout. Maybe 2 rains in second half of July. Light. The ground still has some damp now, but my grass is...

Interesting. We'll see what's individualistic yet recognizably cosplayable (aka not Imperials in uniform/armor). But that's a separate interest of mine. I liked Rogue One. I'll probably like this. I do wish D+ would avoid overlap in their releases. We LIKE having a new episode of something...

This season hit hard on pretty much every episode. where network TV trek had 24 eps to work with, there'd be a mix of hard and light eps. Not so with Orville. It's "This year, "every episode will make you cry." And they did. Part of what's making that work is season 1. I know we all had...

Lance Henriksen has always been Lance Henriksen. Peter Weller is kinda like James Spader. The product has changed over the years.

Beware the cruel flippers of entropy!

Or they were nodding to and stepping past a lot of negative tropes. the white guy usually gets the brown girl. Not this time. The white guy usually gets the brown person's name wrong. Not this time. The guy with unrequited feelings becomes the angry incel. Not this time.

We enjoyed the finale. though the thin blue line could've put up stiffer resistance to getting past them. I guess that's also on point. I also noticed nobody's talking about Bruno. Or his unrequited love. Or the DC brutality when that cop hit him in the face with the butt of his gun. Great...

"Stop! It's Hammer Time!"

We liked it. I assume the Necrosword, like any intelligent weapon (there were at least 3 on screen), told Gorr what he needed to know. It was a little ooky having Thor recruit a bunch of children to fight, but he did beef them up, and Gorr didn't seem to want to hurt the children. At least...

I think there's a disconnect on what Morrus and you mean by "by the book" To some folks, it means not running an organization by the standards set forth by HR and the Process and Policy Guideline directives. I think that's what Morrus means. To which I agree. Kirk ran his ship in a typical...

technically, to see strange new worlds, new life and new civilizations, one most likely also went boldy where no one went boldly before. Otherwise, there's a good chance they'd have noticed the strange new world, life, and/or civilization.

Holy cow was that a great episode.I just knew when we were when Pike appeared at the wedding. Balance of Terror. I don't know how similar the actors were to the original (the base guy, and wedding couple). Kirk did a good job. Even the ending line nailed it. "This isn't over."

Babylon 5. Literally intended to mimic BBC space operas. It is the American Gold Standard of Space Opera. It is also the show that standardized serial storytelling outside of actual soap opera shows. Which Deep Space 9 changed its format to, and shows like Buffy, Lost, Battlestar Galactica all...
