Most things never really completely die in a literal sense. For example, disco music still exists today, even if it's a complete shadow of its former self. :p

Speaking of Battlestar Galactica, awhile ago I was watching some of the original 1978-1979 series episodes. I use to like this show a lot when I was a kid. I use to think it was just as spectacular as Star Wars. :-S Watching many of these older episodes through the eyes of an adult, they...

I thought Blood & Chrome was kinda on the meh side. Ok as a sci-fi movie of the night. I can see why it wasn't picked up as a regular tv series.

I thought some of the middle season 1 episodes were kinda hit or miss.

Quite a few of the season 5 nods to stuff from past seasons, I thought had kind of a "tacked on" feel to them. Stuff like Sam Weiss, the red universe, various biohazards from past cases, Carla Warren, etc ... It seemed like they made a list of past stuff, and tried to cram it in somewhere...

"Liberty" was somewhat predictable, The final end result of "An Enemy of Fate" was kinda predictable too,

When I was a kid/teenager, I was completely ignorant of the existence of the dedicated FLGS in the areas I lived in. The few rpg books I had in those days, were mostly purchased from various department stores or bookstores. We got by with making up our own stuff, using B2 "Keep on the...

Ok episode A huge info dump.

First half of the episode was kinda slow. The other half was simultaneously very insightful and tragic. Answered a lot of questions.

I've been doing a marathon rewatch of season 1 over the last few days. Even the season 1 "monster of the week" type episodes, were weaved in quite effectively with the underlying storyline arcs. On the other side of the coin, season 1 is VERY different than season 5. It's almost as if they...

Good episode.

(Offtopic rant). Maybe I'm just becoming more jaded and cynical as I get older. :rant: At times I wonder why I even bother buying/renting movies anymore. It seems like every time I bring home a new dvd/bluray title, I usually feel disappointed after watching it. (This includes many of my...

"Galaxy Quest" (novelization)

This episode was kinda lackluster.

For movies which didn't have extensive restoration jobs, some source limitations become more obvious at higher resolutions. I've noticed this in many older movies from the 70's, 80's and 90's, which didn't appear to have much restoration work done for the bluray versions. This goes back to...

Definitely. On some older movies, there's also noticeably more "grain" in the background (especially during darker scenes) in the 1080p version, which was not as apparent in the 480p/480i resolution.

Many ongoing tv shows look really good at 1080p (or 1080i) resolution, whether on bluray or hd broadcast. Recently I finished watching the season 1 bluray set of "Person of Interest", which looked spectacular. Way better looking than the season 1 dvd version, which came with the bluray combo...

Just noticed this on amazon. Storm Over Baldur's Gate: Sundering Adventure 1 (D&D Adventure): Ed Greenwood, Matt Sernett: 9780786964635: Amazon.com: Books It looks like a new module, but no edition is stated.

Back in the day, I played in some games where the DM did things so slow that it would take many sessions (or over a month in offline time) for characters to heal up. What ended up happening was the "riding the pines" players just spent all their game session time doing something else like...

This sort of thing was around earlier than The Matrix, such as the late-1980's/early-1990's cartoon version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the early-mid 1990's X-Men cartoon.
