I’m enjoying this season, but everything happening in the future timeline is really messing with my head. I guess that’s the point. At this point I’m just really scared of Mo Collins and impressed by Ólafur Ólafsson.

I’m visiting my parents for the weekend — helping my dad with some work on the roof before the winter really hits. Which usually means we’ll watch some movies from the seventies.

Couldn’t agree more.

It’s the same old MacFarlane problem for me. I enjoy so much of what he enjoys, so get most of his references and am looking for the same sense of future and exploration in my SciFi as him.

I can’t disagree with anything Kumail said. That sense of, “I didn’t even consider what bad things someone could do with it.” can be really strong with engineers and developers. Too many people looking at the world for puzzles to solve and enjoy the process/satisfaction with no thought to its greater impact.

If you want weird meta references to King of Queens and dead wife jokes you should have just had Kevin marry Patton Oswalt.

I’ve never seen Trailer Park Boys but I’ve seen plenty of gifs, and they seemed pretty funny. And he actually was one of my favorite parts of Haven, a show I mostly watched because it stared Elena Fisher.

“...Danny Rand/Iron Fist is supposed to be that useless?”

I haven’t seem him in years, but I used to know JR pretty well. He’s a really thoughtful guy and has made some really interesting art. I look forward to checking this out.

This is sounds better than I would have guessed, but not worth watching.

“corporate superiors packaged me up in...something new and scary.”

Technically no, owing mostly to the fact that it’s really hard for fabric to dial on a touch-screen. But people still use the term for accidentally calling someone.

I’ve never been able to choose favorites in general terms. I always end up making some ultra-specific category and crowning a movie the top of that pile.

I did not know about that series. I really enjoyed the documentary. I find a lot of voice actors fascinating and could probably listen to Carlos or John DiMaggio or Hank Azaria share stories for hours. There’s something about the effortlessness they have flipping between all those voices in their heads that makes it a…

This just makes me think of http://wewantplates.com. Because nothing says appetizing like eating food off a shovel.

Great article Alex!

As someone who’s not a fan of horror movies, but really likes metaphorical analysis of religions I can’t tell whether I’ll love or hate this.

Can you expand on that? I’m not really familiar with whatever group-think the fandom has falling into.
