Say what you will about Warren Ellis, he came up with the one scenario where a Superhero vs. Aliens fight is actually sort of interesting, where the Xenomorph’s biology is dictated by whatever they happen to lay their brood in.

So basically, if the aliens massacre a bunch of Skrull or Shi’ar on their way to Earth, or…

Not a movie, but anybody who wants a smart slow burn time travel mystery, absolutely needs to check out The Devil’s Hour (currently available on Prime) if they haven’t seen it yet. It’s Steven Moffat at the top of his game level good.

I can’t imagine a worse thing to try to sneak out of a building quietly that a large box full of loose Lego.

Yep. A good storyteller trusts his audience enough to pick up on clues, at least enough to get the general gist of what’s going on, and slowly piece together a more detailed picture as the adventure goes on.

Bad storytellers, like those on Ashoka, Rebel Moon, Discovery and pretty much every YA film franchise…

Only three episodes in so far, but I’m thoroughly enjoying it.

I feel like the WTF insanity and humor could maybe go up just a smidge, but overall, the balance is pretty spot on and feels very very Fallout. I’m also impressed with how well they’ve handled all the various easter eggs and huge swaths of lore that every…

I know. There’s a slim chance her character is from the 1950's or 60's, since the first episode we see her in (filming wise) appears to be set in America during that time, but it seems likely that episode is actually her second outing since the scene people saw being filmed was of her exiting the TARDIS and looking…

They usually make these announcements right before there’s very public filming that’s difficult for them to hide, which would have shown up in the tabloids anyways. At least this way they get out ahead of the information and discourage the paps from disrupting filming to snap exclusive photos of the new companion.

Also…

Dammit. I wish I could be surprised by this news, but it’s pretty much written in stone these days that no show lasts beyond 5 seasons because it involves paying actors a miniscule sum in residuals, and we can’t possibly allow that.  

Lower Decks is so well written and there is so much Star Trek to poke fun at that it…

I know I should hate AI for putting humans out of work, infringing on artist’s IP, and destroying the environment, but isn’t it worth incinerating a few rainforests for songs like “My Man Sh*% His Pants at Work” and “Wow, I Didn’t Know That”? (Which is almost worthy of being a Weird Al parody)

I’m glad we have these episode summaries so I no longer have to hate watch the show.

This will probably be absolutely terrible, but sounds like it could be a modern version of the Waxworks movies, where the characters speedrun their way through as many different cheesy horror movie genres as the runtime will allow.

So I’m thinking, ‘How would you do a Beatles episode without Beatles music?’ And that becomes the entire plot. That’s where the idea came from – copyright law!

I suppose if they did that, I might finally learn the names of the rest of the bridge crew... Or what the hell their jobs are.   

I think I have officially reached the age where I’m “too old for this shit.”
By which, I mean Discovery is sci-fi written for people who peaked in high school and I can no longer bring myself to even hate watch it.

Thank goodness we still have Lower Decks and Strange New Worlds to carry the torch, so I can still get…

The most frustrating thing is that there are a few faint glimmers of hope buried in there. Stamets and Culber are usually written fairly well, Saru is fine... provided Burnham isn’t around to undercut him, and Reno is always fun when they remember she exists.

If those four characters hopped into an escape pod at the…

While the designs themselves were probably the last time Lego space sets were interesting, even as a child of the 90's, I absolutely hated the ugly ass color scheme and thought they looked hideous.

I feel like if they’d eliminated the blue and made the sets entirely red and white, or red, white and grey, they would…

Blacktron/Space Police/M-Tron was really peak Lego. It was all downhill from there.

Oh yeah, I absolutely guarantee that the second it gets confused or thinks it might be stuck, it switches over to a remote human driver.

It may have been to the people signing up to work for Mechanical Turk, but the companies using Mechanical Turk to process sensitive information like credit card data and social security numbers certainly weren’t being open about how your personal data was being handled.

Yep, if The Matrix was real, the machines wouldn’t keep us around so they could use us as batteries, we’d spend our entire time identifying motorcycles and fire hydrants.

Hey, wait a second....
