Absolutely zero chance Burnham would have made it through the academy that Kirk, Pike, Picard, Sisko, or Janeway went to. Zero.

The only reason it might not be is because the show was cancelled unceremoniously without any foreknowledge (they were filming the fifth season finale when they told them - per Frakes in an interview).

There is some porn even Musk is embarrassed by.

If you buy a Tesla you’re kind of implicitly saying you want an account with them.

I’ve heard some rumors that this has really put the nail in Destiny’s coffin.

I’ve only watched the first 2 episodes so far (pretty good!), but one of the hardest tricks for me will be pulling off changing Iroh from a comedic character to a character that is the moral center of the show over the next season. Sun-Hyung Lee is a great comedic actor, but I’m not sure if he’s going to be able to…

I’ve watched Star Trek my entire life, and I’ve never been less excited about a season of Star Trek. I’d rather watch Kate Mulgrew yell at the crew (with at least an ounce of passion!) in a random story of the week than this self-congratulatory claptrap. I can’t wait for it to be over and we can just bin the entire…

Exactly.  I’m sure that if you paired up each of the six episodes, you would have pretty much seen what the three movie would have been.  I don’t feel like this is much of a revelation.

I’ve worked in the games with Movie people. You have to understand that they A) work on a level of company politics that makes the most backstabby game studio look like a kindergarten, B) Have 0% respect for everyone on the narrative side of the games industry (they have a tiny bit of respect for the technical…

Don’t get me started with Foundation. Which at this point, I call an “antidaption.”

I love the movie, but the book and the film are very different. A key theme of the book is that the protagonist is an immature self-centered kid that learns to become responsible, care for his squad-mates, and becomes a leader through shared adversity. That’s really the core of the narrative of the book. It’s less…

I don’t know, if you read some about Verhoeven, particularly regarding this movie and Robocop, I would error on the side of him being a secret genius.  I think there were just some movies he cared deeply about and some he knew were cash grabs.

Just to set the record straight. I was there at the time, plenty of us got it. Both with Robocop and with Starship troopers. They are both glorious movies that completely satirized the worst parts of America at the time.  Incredibly of the moment and ahead of their time.

You realize the Morbius Re-release is one of the greatest cases of a large corporation getting punked in the history of PR.

Shooting bottle rockets into the water under your friend’s canoe is a very wholesome and character building experience.

Madame Web 2? Oh you poor simple child. These are the plots for Madam Web 2 through 7 they are laying the ground work for here!

Latency is still far too much of an issue in the US.

It’s going to be very interesting to see what happens. With both Intel and AMD making a huge push to add graphics processing to their CPUs I could see a day where it is very hard to even buy a laptop that doesn’t have excellent GPU capabilities. In which case we again hit the scenario of “Why buy another device?”

Given Sony’s announcement last week and the anti-trust case, I was thinking that both parties might have a little bit of detente and declare that 1st party games would be cross platform after a year.
