And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

Note to the guards: Suicide watch does not mean, “watch someone commit suicide.”

Every day I grow closer to being a conspiracy theorist. 

It’s a fucking spinoff. Let them experiment. 

What gets me abut the show is that the crew of the ship act like idiots, and you can’t even handwave it off as the writers being bad at their jobs, because there’s that one episode where they thaw out the backup xenobiologist and he explicitly calls out the main one for being bad at his job!

The first episode is truly one of the most godawful things I’ve ever watched. What moron at Netflix gave this absolute freakin’ rubbish the green light? Has *anything* else original from Netflix *ever* been this bad? (Admittedly, I’ve never seen Hemlock Grove. That has a pretty bad reputation.) This is appalling. Poor …

I saw the trailer for this on Netflix and it looks laughably fucking awful.

The spaceship’s crew makes Prometheus’ crew look extremely competent and professional, and Prometheus had biologist who was first afraid of a dead body, but then decided to pet an alien snake.

That wasn’t in the first episode, so I will never see it =P

No, but watch this show for a few episodes and you’ll suddenly think it made a lot more sense than you did before, lol

I was particularly enamoured of the “Let’s flood the ship with Gamma radiation to kill off the virus!” moment.

Nope.

Watched episode 1 tonight, and good lord was it dumb. I knew in the first five minutes the writing was going to be average at best, but kept going because I’m a sucker for spaceship shows, but God damn.

in the world inhabited by these characters, i could imagine the following exchange:

“We’ve been visited by an alien species. We have a craft that can travel faster than light. We’re going to make first contact with these aliens... on their home turf. Now we need to find the right crew.”
“Got it. Let’s send the cast of…

I’m 25 minutes into the first episode and am already bored. Even Katee and Selma cannot keep me watching this show.

Amash was an original Tea Party goon and spent 70% of his oped bothsidering.  Anyone who read his oped is now stupider.  I award no points and may god have mercy on his soul.

And premise the whole thing with the fact that McConnell has stated that under no uncertain terms would the Senate vote to impeach... before he has heard any evidence. This is like a judge saying “yeah, you can bring it to trial, but there is no way that I will find the defendant guilty no matter how guilty you prove…

The Clintons’ claim that he can commit perjury in a sexual harassment trial if he finds a question embarrassing still boggles my mind.

Make McConnell’s Senate try to protect the traitors Trump and Pence.

Oh man, I had the complete reverse feeling. I’ve been playing MonHun since the PS2 so I decided to try out Dauntless as a soft break from World until the expansion comes out. I gave it a really solid try, did some hunts, crafted a gearset, got to level... 6 I think? But I just couldn’t get into it. The whole time I…
