Taking the whole show into account, season one was just about average.

World War Z and Seanan McGuire’s (as Mira Grant) NewsFlesh series were entirely too relevant in the early days. World War Z with how to (and how not to) ramp up and NewsFlesh in how to (and how not to) live in the aftermath. Initially I kept hoping that we wouldn’t drift into some of the more overly cautious things…

They’re probably related to the Siberian offshoot of the species, and came across on the land bridge that linked North America to Siberia during the ice age.

World War Z (the book obviously) did basically everything you are listing here. From the unproven meds that combat “African Rabies,” (it even sounds like China Virus ffs) to the Battle of Yonkers where public relations visuals, result in a massacre. It was published in 2006.

I loved Gideon as well. It was completely different than I expected. It had a Dune vibe to it. The ancient, dangerous and corrupt worlds of the Empire.

Very much enjoyed Gideon, excited for Harrow

I was surprised that I enjoyed Gideon the Ninth as much as I did and have pre-ordered Harrow the Ninth. Otherwise, we look to be entering a bit of a dry spell after a few months of lots of good books. It will be nice to have a chance to catch up a little.

LOL. Cyberpunk 2077 delayed? You have NO CLUE. 3rd edition was announced in 1998, wasn’t released until 2013 if I recall correctly. Cyberpunk being delayed is a tradition at this point.

Welcome to io9, Colin.

AltaVista for the 1990s pre-Google win. I was AV until I read a tech columnist in Time Magazine (!!) talk about this new site called Google.  

A few comments. First of all eff you. Secondly, Altavista was head and shoulders above the rest in 1997.

That’s why Football in the Groin is such a timeless classic.

are there any other streaming services of this stature and backing that don’t allow you to pause playback?

Now it's time for Zoidberg's song!
