This gave me a mini-stroke. I can't even process this.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Every time I see this in my guide, I mentally pour out a little liquor in memory of the vastly superior Alphas.

I notice a lot of people missing this.
Miller isn't doing it for Julie Mao. He's just basically this guy who was getting by, having long given up on any ambitions. He takes what looks like a simple side-hustle to find a rich kid. But it's a weird case and it just keeps bugging him because at his core he *is* a…

Give it two more eps. They're building toward some serious happenings. It's unfortunate this episode came when it did, given that this isn't a binge-able release, but just trust that they're just doing some necessary work.

I liked that the Anderson Station background for the Butcher underscored why the belters are reacting so strongly to Holden's Canterbury message. This isn't the first time that a mass atrocity has been committed against the belters (as opposed to the usual exploitation backed up by withholding of resources). The…

My understanding is that there are several mining colonies. Ceres is the largest but also the one that was most aggressively mined, and now is just a (major) hub.

You want The Expanse, trust me.

I remember back in 03/04 attempting to explain ATHF to a coworker (I'd made some reference or joke in conversation).

I agree with you that it wasn't a riff on clip shows. It was a riff on the unreliable narrator and a continuation of R&M ongoing existential assault. And I think we're going to have to pay close attention to episode 4 each season.

Not sure if anyone has pointed this out yet but Mr. Poopybutthole still existing is meta-horror and super-dark comedy. Basically the show is fucking with us as they like to do.

Can we discuss the nature of Whispers more? He clearly is a powerful sensate, more powerful than the others. Connecting himself to another sensate with just the briefest eye contact.
But more interesting to me than that is, we know that Whispers had a cluster. And I don't think it's the Angelica-Jonas cluster nor…

I am apparently doomed to see every title I have ever read 'adapted'. Also, I did not know that AV Club followed this (or any GN) series. Also! Lazaruses aren't unkillable, they're mortal. Just very, very hard to kill. They're also not all built or trained the same so there are key differences in their fighting…

I'm just happy there are plausible multiple paths for how all this goes in the crapper for Jimmy.

PDF has been around since before 2002 but the print to PDF option we take for granted is more recent. I can't say for certain it wasn't available in 2002 so I'll hedge with if it was, it wasn't yet prevalent (because corporations are slow adopters.)

It has lay realism. Really, you could nitpick the entirety of BB apart from any domain expert angle. The teacher angle, the meth dealer angle, the police angle, the cartel angle, the corporate angle, etc. I don't see why the legal profession should get a pass to place accuracy over narrative.

share!

And depending on how I navigate to the site, I'm one or the other.

Cool, take care.

So, imagine that someone wanted to explore the nature of humanity as reflected through our technology. Is technology leeching our humanity or is it just giving us new ways to amplify our already cruel nature?
