I'll agree they don't devote a ton of time to it. Maybe I overstated, and I haven't watched the series through in a few years, but the amount that her trauma from captivity directed her arc for the rest of the season felt significant to me at the time. Even if she didn't talk about it, you could always see it in that…

Yay Galactica reviews are back!

Definitely agree. Not letting Snyder off the hook here as some of his more obnoxious style is certainly present (no slow-mo to fast-mo during the fights though), but most of the worst bits for me were the scattered plotting and awful dialog. Both of those I would sooner lay at the feet of David Goyer as the writer of…

Revelations is pretty solid, bringing the action shooter stuff from 5 and 6 down a bit and making it a hybrid of the mansions from earlier games with the action from 4 onward. Not much revealed though, but at this point the RE mythology is a flaming dumpster fire full of B.O.W.s so no big surprise there.

That is the best way I've heard Code Veronica's tone described! It's always been such a weird game in the series tonally. It's probably why it's not fondly remembered despite being a technical marvel at the time.

Same here. RE 2 was the reason I sold my then almost new Sega Saturn for a PlayStation and never looked back. Not that there was much to look back on, the Saturn sucked pretty thoroughly. I've played through RE 2 at least a half a dozen times, but not since RE 4 came out.

Yeah if you want more McCarthy I absolutely recommend Blood Meridian. It's brutal, bleak, biblical and much more abstracted than No Country for Old Men, but it is also one of the most memorable reads I've had in my life.

My go to sick/hungover show for the last few years has been Edgar Wright's Channel 4 series Spaced. You can watch the whole series in an afternoon, and any time with Tim and Daisy makes me feel better.

I'm with ya, at least with domesticated rats. I have a friend who's had pet rats several times and they are sweet little creatures. An NYC rat that's been crawling around the walls and sewers of that building though? That would really gross me out I'm afraid.

One of my go to episodes when I need some Spaced. That story coupled with the break in to Dark Star Comics is too good. Mike just randomly eating coffee grounds with a spoon at an idle moment is one of my favorite jokes in the show for some reason.

I also think Chuck has a lot of resentment towards Jimmy as a sibling and his snobbishness plays into that. It's not been seen per say, but I get the feeling that Chuck, while very smart and talented, is also not very personable. He's a genius at his job (or so we're told) but he doesn't seem to have any friends…

Yep right there with ya. Peter Russo was the most interesting part of that show. Far more going on with him than Spacey's impervious character.

Gingerblunt Man!

Amen to Sawyer and Juliet. It's also why I think the season 5 finale can suck it overall since they just shoe horn in jealous Kate (which barley makes sense at that point for her and Sawyer) to drive them apart right before she dies. That scene by the snack machine in the series finale brings it home nicely for me…

Indeed. That also just reminded me of a scene in the Extended Edition of Two Towers where Merry and Pippin find an intact store room in the ruins of Isengard, and within a bunch of pipe weed from The Shire (I think its Longbottom Leaf in this case). Jackson just cuts from them finding it to Treebeard walking up to the…

Adama and Roslin sharing a joint (or whatever they were passing back and forth) on New Caprica during the flashbacks in "Unfinished Business" are peak ship fulfillment for me. Just seeing those two get to relax together for even a short time in the middle of all that shit is goddamn heart warming.

I believe it's coming to iPad in a few months if you have one of those.

This could be a great series in the right hands. It's not strikingly original cyberpunk, but it is very well done. The first book at least (the one the series is named after) is a somewhat pulpy hard boiled detective story, with some very cool concepts and twists based on the world created by the body swapping tech.…

Yeah there's also a point made several times in the book that the rich in this universe end up living for hundreds of years thanks to body swapping, and as a result many of them have become withdrawn from society and humanity as a whole because they don't experience death anymore. There's a pretty prominent class…

Fuckin A!
