It really is (and I could honestly say the same thing of the other game I've been playing, trying to balance the development of the queen so she doesn't die the dozens of ways she can die is a delicate balance.)

Congratulations on being a father, McLurk!

Exactly. It's not that I wanted answers, it's just that if we can have a half-dozen alien invasion movies every so often, X-Files would have done perfectly well wrapping up by Mulder finding a way to stop the UFOs. The Truth is finally there, he stops it, all his work has meaning, whatever. It'd be a good capper on…

Well I got the W part anyway. I have ASP blood in me if I go far back enough genealogically, I think.

I did find Peaky Blinders a big smugly insufferable at times.

Martin was originally going to a Dunk and Egg story for that anthology (where they'd go north to visit the she-wolves of Winterfell, who were apparently the powerful people in the Stark family in that era.) I'm not sure if he gave a reason for changing his mind.

It was certainly an anticlimax. I think in retrospect it's a missed opportunity they didn't just make it an alien invasion movie (Duchovny didn't want it to be a mythology movie, and at the time they hoped for a sequel.) As convoluted as the show's mythology became it still all comes down to 'aliens want to invade the…

Oh absolutely. I'm not excusing them. I'm just saying the issues are with the game's story - which include iffy choices on their part - rather than the mechanics (and definitely, there's no need for the fridging… really, probably no need for it to be a murder mystery at all - I feel it's that in part because of…

Well really these looped things vary in content and meaning. Consider for example looped sounds, like three hours of a sleeping anime character, or - Star Trek again - a full twenty-four hours of starship sounds. These extended videos seem to be about creating virtual soundscapes - it's as if you're with the sleeping…

I read A Scanner Darkly. When I went into the film I had a mental list of the stuff that obviously wouldn't appear in the movie because it was too weird, too difficult, or too specifically Philip K. Dickish.

That's not what I was saying at all? I was pointing out almost a hundred years ago there were Asian actors consciously battling this kind of discrimination, and yet we still have situations like this.

Which through the transitive property of declarative statements, means that Ground Floor is better than Breaking Bad!

I agree, Donald Glover is great in that!

Helena. I think she likes you.

I feel some of Wolf's issues may just be story based though. This is a prequel to a comic series, where apparently the characters start out more or less the same as they do in the comic (I've read some people suggesting this is just retelling the opening arc of that comic.) The potential for emotional and character…

I was focusing on it because it was the closest thing you had to an argument. The rest of it rests on, basically, 'the Office was super-good and Fringe was not,' which, fine, that's a perfectly legitimate opinion and there's no issue elucidating why the Office is good and why Fringe is not, but you frame your argument…

It was also originally going to be a TV movie.

I did bold the text, but even if I don't the link looks unclear (try to find the other video I linked, I even name it.)

Game of Thrones the TV show owes a lot to Jackson's Ring movies, so full circle.
