The Spanish series Gran Hotel gets dementia in its third and final season. You have one plot where the titular hotel is owned by the character who gained ownership of it at the end of the final season and the former owner must scheme to get it back, and you have another plot (with a couple subplots) that hinges on the…

Some of the Objectivist reading comes from taking the villain's opinion that giving everybody the equivalent of superpowers would be a bad thing (and that's why he's doing it) as the position the film takes.

I watched the first episode of the new Wayward Pines, and I guess that having everything be kind of a lesser version of the original is kind of in theme, in a sense. It's a very thin veneer on the town now.

I'm actually pretty fond of Voyager, on an episode to episode basis. As always there's a matter of inconsistency with the Borg as with everything else in Voyager: for most of the run their take was good I think: the Borg is just this force of nature, an unstoppable cosmographical fact. They could show the characters…

The "I'm in insurance" moment has tortured me forever.

Well, I remember really loving Sonic 2 back then, and when I played it again recently, it was fun in the way I remembered (the same isn't true of all old games I've revisited, not at all.) The thing with the moments where you're going fast and you don't have the time to see what's coming? That comes down to being…

Oh yeah, the Borg Queen can make sense, but by the time Voyager rolls around you have a scene where the Queen is panicked and like, is rapidly checking on this and that personally, or something like that. Like she's one individual who needs to micromanage everything.

Leon's "what if" would have been a montage of him getting killed.

Killing the Congressman would have (maybe only temporarily) given access to the feeds. I feel it's a different question altogether. If the Machine wouldn't have existed then Samaritan would have come to exist, and THEN there would have been no Machine to know about it and know about the Congressman chokepoint.

They should have suggested you're a mutant.

He may remember you from such books as Seed of Destruction and Box Full of Evil.

I've only started Bates Motel's third season, so I haven't seen the "made good" part yet, but damn isn't it really weird how Uncle Dad is eager to introduce himself as, well, dad? And Dylan really doesn't mind as much as he should!

Sapiosexual is a word that I can never imagine being used to describe oneself without some smug connotation. I don't know how to articulate it but… it's just like it's taking the pretext of defining one's sexual orientation to say "I, as opposed to other people, am not shallow and have an elevated sensibility."

I was just making lamely referencing Natalie Zea's character, I didn't know there would be anything relevant about it!

Wait, there's only one episode left? I was sure they were talking about a two-parter in the review to the last episode?

Jesus, The Driver is just like a bizarro Breaking Bad, inversed morals and everything.

Is that a Justified spin-off?

That sounds quite intriguing!

Oh, Dr. Kaufman! He was just so brilliant I was sad to see him go.

Watched the finale (I guess?) of The Aliens which was underwhelming in that paradoxically (because some big things also happen) non-commital short season Brit television kind of way.
