No jury of your peers would have convicted you.

I couple of years ago, Mrs. Overclock and I were smack in the middle of the second season of DEXTER. Then one evening, we tried to bring it up on Netflix streaming on our Tivo, and it wasn’t there. We grabbed a tablet, noodled around on with the Netflix app, and verified that it has disappeared. Netflix no longer had

(I wish that woman in the lead stock photo *was* Allison Shoemaker, because then I could ask her where she got those awesome sunglasses.)

This was always how I figured it worked - some kind of quantum tunneling on a macroscopic scale - until they had a Duplicated Kirk, and later a Duplicated Riker, and later a trapped Scotty, and... well, you get the idea. Stargate SG-1 pulled a similar thing: I figured it was a wormhole you just stepped through, until

I don’t care where the beef comes from or who ground it. I’m getting my steaks medium-rare but my burgers well done. That’s my plan to stay out of the hospital.

This. They make a *great* double feature. And watching them that way reveals how many tropes they share. (That’s not a bad thing, it’s a fun thing.)

... with malt powder.

I like Irn-Bru. Yeah, it tastes like bubble gum crossed with creme soda. The spousal unit and I tried it when we were in Scotland for the first time way back in 1995. From time to time, I order a six-pack, and sometimes a canned haggis as well, via Amazon.com - expensive enough that I only do this maybe once or twice

You’re doing the Lord’s work here. This has plagued me for eons. Thank you.

We’ve all probably heard that meme “the three most important words in the English langauge are ‘let me help’.” (Did that come from ST:TOS?) But I believe the three most important words are ‘I don’t know’. Much grief could be spared - in our personal and our professional lives - if people were just straight up honest

I totally believe that this works. I’m going to start using it.

What I find remarkable about this production is that even though we know how this story ultimately turns out - I’ve read the book, but it’s all a matter of history since this is fictionalized account of a real expedition - the narrative manages to be thrilling and tense just the same. Maybe it’s because of its

Not gonna lie, I kinda miss Blockbuster. Back in the day, a good Saturday night for Mrs. Overclock and me would be to drive to our favorite neighborhood pizza place, order one to go, and while that was in the oven, drop by Blockbuster Video. We stroll around, peruse the shelves, see what appealed to us, pick one or

Since I like Coolio, and I have some of his stuff on the player I take to the gym, and I have a habit of singing along under my breath while I’m on the cross trainer, I know this isn’t a hypothetical question. I struggle with it myself. Mostly I use “gangster” because it has the same number of syllables so it scans

I second having the SoundHound app on my phone; discovered a boatload of great stuff that way. Also, second movie and television show soundtracks, collections of songs that are frequently all over the map, but the curation makes most of them worth a listen, and some lead to great artists of which I was completely

The next major break came with the Brady campaign, and Clinton’s signature on that law more than a decade after Reagan’s would-be assassin pulled an Uzi from a briefcase at a speaking event.

I agree. The first episode was a big steaming pile of crap. But every other one has been great, and worthy of discussion. I’ll take it!

Remarkably, heterochronic parabiosis is a real thing. Or at least some real people with real money think so.
