But, if he did create time travel, how come he hasn’t seen a message from his future self, or managed to go back and save his father? The answer is probably tragic. On the day he discovered time travel, he realized that actually using it would destroy reality. Still, he manages to continue his work, eventually…

What captured me most in the article was the delay of JoJo Rabbit. I’m surprised that movie is even scheduled for China. A dark-comedy about a child in Nazi Germany and a silly Hitler? I can’t think of a film more homogenized to Western culture than that. It’s not that Chinese people aren’t intelligent or lack…

I’ve been wanting to get back into RDR2 since I finished the main story and epilogue. I’m not interested in the online community, or the dozen or so side quests left over. So it’s just been gaining digital dust. However, it may be nice to shuffle around St. Denis towards the close of the evening. I’ll keep my gun…

I think it’s actually a cool idea. I’ve always been somewhat interested in checking out gaming centers and the like, but felt I wouldn’t really fit in as a casual gamer. I’m not nearly good enough to join the people who take gaming competition very seriously. It would also be great to learn to play tabletop games like…

Maybe, finally a Jedi who doesn’t soliloquize about balancing the Force at every opportunity? I would prefer grunts and growls to the typical Jedi speech.

Finally — an explanation for why Gallifrey sounds Irish! Here is an image from next series — the 14th Doctor in an epic battle against the latest Master incarnation.

The Irish village — they’re actually the space Irish from the Star Trek episode, Up the Long Ladder, and Brendan and his da’ are Soong androids responsible for creating the Cybermen. And Gallifrey (always sounded Irish) is actually a dream from Miles O’Brien — who’s being tortured/imprisoned again somewhere near DS9.

Great insight. Speaking of the Borg, I think this element played out really well in “I, Borg.” Instead of having a crew member stand up to Picard with a big speech, Picard’s mind was slowly changed through the respectful intervention of his peers. They had enough respect and loyalty for Picard they knew their case…

Resistance is futile...*starts typing, am fired five minutes later*

I also thought of Troi immediately — and her name sounded like a Betazoid one. I thought she was going to be a Betazoid who used her abilities to gain Seven’s trust back in the past — it would have been a good story beat and a nice call-back to that great Betazoid/Hannibal Lecter mash-up from Voyager. I bet she was…

I applaud the sophomore effort — after being very disappointed with series 11, the new cast and crew really found a footing. Still, I hope #13 will be given a truly stand out moment before it comes to a close. Whittaker is a great Doctor, but I’m afraid that if the director makes her squish her cheeks and turn up her…

With 80's nostalgia driving so much of the collectible toy business, I’m surprised no one’s ever released the transforming skyscraper from Big.

With the coronavirus going around, I find comfort in watching the new Planet of the Apes films. At least the monkeys are going to be okay.

Absolutely. It takes genius to bring a character as audacious as Ace Ventura to life. Jim Carrey brought a 90's madness to slapstick like Jimi Hendrix fused hard rock into Delta Blues. I think it’s great that Carrey is returning to his comic roots — it feels as nice as watching Patrick Stewart play Picard again.

The Doctor’s inability to process some human emotions has always been part of the character (“You’re a beautiful woman...probably,”etc). After all, she is near-immortal herself.

This show has potential, but all the characters are too incompetent — with bad attitudes to boot. The engineer character is alright (sorry, don’t remember any of the names), but even she gets petty. I’m fine with shows about idiots — but, they got to be at least a little bit lovable. Good riddance to every selfish,…

They make me think of Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone in the Godfather. You can guess at the lives they led before their time in Picard, but none of it matters now. And you wouldn’t think of them any less even if you got a window into their past. Corleone’s final scene — playing in the garden with his grandson —that’s…

Sully from Uncharted!

It seems like I’m in the minority, but I’ve never seen the Federation as an organization worthy of admiration. For me, the true ideals of Star Trek existed among the stars on the Enterprise. The crew wasn’t shaped by their national government, but rather, the singular community they built on the Enterprise. I look at…
