I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I did read the short story, and that “language-causes-you-to-see-through-time” business instantly threw me out of the tale. In a science fiction story, I can accept the premise that an alien race has evolved cognitively to perceive time differently than we do. But to have humans…

nah

I work with people who talk about term limits like they’d be a good thing. And my response is always “if no one doing the job has been there for more than 4 years, no one is going to know what they’re doing. Instead of 30 year congressmen, you’ll have a majority leader’s chief of staff or a party boss who hangs…

I’ll also be dropping out of season 2 if season one isn’t satisfyingly conclusive to some degree.

I’ll be honest, I’m already getting annoyed by the show. Last night was great but I’m tired of not knowing wtf is going on. If that happens , I won’t watch season 2. I wanted to love it, but this constant confusion and second guessing is boring and getting old fast. It feels like cheap trickery.

It’s either everything is as you say and takes place simultaneously or the producers are sloppy as shit when it comes to how everything comes together. I’m just saying the latter is more likely to me.

Last night was the first night we got some actual plot development instead of the constant vamping. Hopefully, they’ll keep this trend up in the subsequent episodes. My money is still on a half cadence that just sets up an even bigger mystery to be solved in Season 2, a cynical move which is lame as fuck at this…

The counterpoint is that this is a Jonathan Nolan show, and dude loves to attempt to shoehorn in third act twists in everything he does (in this respect, he differs from M. Night only in that he writes much more complex stories where you have to spend 30 minutes trying to understand what the dumb plot twist was and…

I’ve been wondering about this as well. It’s as though the post was written by someone who was told about the skit by someone who kinda remembered it.

This skit is actually a Kohler “ad” and has very little to do with Apple. Clickbait headlines be baiting clicks.

One of these days Google fans will wake up and realize they’re being shamelessly exploited. That day will come too late.

So now with Pixel, Google wants you to pay full Apple hardware prices while still whoring out your personal data for targeted advertising. Good luck with playing both sides of the fence Google, you slimy hosers.

Yeah, both were flawed. Lost was just a make-it-up-as-you-go mess, with mysteries tossed out there willy-nilly so that there was no possibility of an ending that wasn’t a train wreck. BSG had a similar problem, the producers admitted that the big-deal Cylon plan never existed, so they never did come up with a…

I mean, what I’m about to say is opinion (admittedly based on events in the show/facts, but ultimately opinion), but I’m taking your comment of “finally declining in its 6th season” to mean quality of storytelling rather than view count, if so, then that’s opinion too and thus the following comment is relevant:

I can’t personally comment on the quality current or past as I didn’t watch past the first few episodes but I can comment on my observations of the fan base. When I watched it I found it just wasn’t for me (not a qualitative judgement just it wasn’t my bag) but, this site regularly posts how it has been going off the…

Actually iZombie shows this concept can work, just it’s a different IP already. Given the reaction to the mess that is The Walking Dead by many here I suspect it probably would have been preferred to what we’ve got now.

The problem with even that is once the writers find a peanut, they toss it right back into the shit.
