and it can also capture dim red dwarf stars like TRAPPIST-1 or Proxima Centauri, which keep turning up with planets in their “habitable zones,” where water might exist as a liquid.

I too was confused about the Shogun hosts’ perception of Maeve’s witchery. The ninja didn’t call her a witch until he saw her wordlessly command his cohort to impale himself, which means that word would have gotten back to the shogun that she could do so without words, rendering the ear-melting useless. But what I…

Fortunately they don’t all look like scrotums.

Miao Yin and I arrived late to the Legion party, but we had similar discussions - hard to imagine that some studio suits said “OK” to something so unlike anything else out there, superhero or otherwise. So few shows actually capture the magic of storytelling like Legion.

I’m guessing it’s a setting on the Gauntlet.

You know, it sure was lucky/convenient that Maria Hill dusted first, with just enough time for Fury to run around back and grab that beeper and send a message.

I used to make a lot of jokes about her back when she had her “episode.” But her actions after that, along with having to deal with the bipolar disorder of someone close to me, made me feel pretty ashamed of myself for that.

After years of practice and analysis of results, speed reading has been proven to be simply skimming by another name.

Did the beginning of this episode remind anyone else of the opener for Season 2 of Lost?

Be prepared for magic teddy bears.

...In a press release, Anderson cited the game’s plotlessness will be a boon for creative license.

I mean, I’m not arguing that union contracts don’t…

So. The Last Man on Earth, The Expanse, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. And at this time of year, you can bet there’s more to come.

It would be great if one of the streaming services picked it up, but they’ve already got their plates full with ambitious genre projects — Consider Phlebas at Amazon, Foundation at Apple, Lost in Space and Altered Carbon at Netflix. Disney, obviously, has plenty of franchises it could turn into streaming exclusives. I…

Well, you’ve proven that you can make up whatever nonsense you want to explain away plot holes. Congratulations.

What they’re not telling you: each episode is only 5 minutes long, Jerry.

Rich, powerful people now want to take the dinosaurs and use them for their own, nefarious purposes? Revolutionary.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about here. After the failed mutiny, he issues an order and then asks who’s acknowledged said order....

I liked this episode, but a few things did bother me.

We also have a new international trailer for the aliens-invade-Australia film starring Temuera Morrison.
