It is not the job of actors to ensure that a prop gun that is supposed to be loaded with blanks isn’t loaded with live rounds.

And what happens to their January 6 plan?

And if their coup occurs on January 6 (because when else will Vic take over Singer?), someone let Eric Kripke know being too on the nose doesn’t make for interesting storytelling.

I’m not saying that all persons in open relationships are awful, but I’ve known very few people in open relationships where those relationships actually work out, and even fewer where one member is super rich and famous and the other isn’t where there isn’t some fucked up power dynamic going on. Of all of Gaiman’s…

I’m not saying the overlap is in and of itself evidence of wrongdoing, but people with similar proclivities who run in the same social circles (like, say, famous comic book writers) tend to share with each other.

I’ve suspected that there was a shoe to drop with Gaiman ever since the Warren Ellis stuff broke a few years back. There was just too much overlap in their fanbases, and the same ‘non-exclusive relationship’ relationships for Gaiman to somehow have never crossed any lines.

Also gotta wonder if it transfers. Does the game end as soon as the initial winner is dead, or does the person who kills the winner become the target, and it’s whoever the last killer is at sundown wins?

It’s kind of hilarious that this finale episode would offer an aside about how this French vampiric theater troupe in Paris had decided to produce shows mostly in English during a motorcycle escape that ends in flames. I almost wished the show hadn’t felt the need to further explain that odd bit of lore (or that,…

That bit at the end when Molloy asks Armand why he saved him in 1973 and Armand’s answer is word for word the same as Louis’s when Molloy asked him at the beginning...

You know that AV Club and io9 are now owned by totally different companies and have no shared editorial, right (why AV Club hasn’t gotten rid of Kinja yet, I don’t know)?

Could Louis and Claudia not come up with a more believable vampire name than…Bruce?

I’m only two episodes in and I can’t figure out who was recast.

For years I’ve had a version of an adaptation in my head that was stop motion, sort of ‘Creature Comforts’ style with a lot of ‘confessional booth talking directly to the camera’ stuff, which feels like the only way to handle the amount of interior monologue, and some of the other anachronisms.

It makes its ending, which aims to evoke the shock twist of the 1968 film, land with a thud

This one was originally written as a new reboot of the franchise

I just finished Season 1 last night, and I think the fourth episode is where it really becomes clear that Beacon 23 is more of an anthology series all set in the same location with some recurring characters than it is a true serial.

Not pure Niven (and arguably not unfilmable), but I’d love to see adaptations of The Mote in God’s Eye and The Gripping Hand.

This was going to be my suggestion. Though I think a Zones of Thought adaptation would probably have to start with A Deepness in the Sky. A Fire Upon the Deep really throws you in the deep end with the concepts right from the beginning.

(RIP Kai-125, you will always be famous)

He said it was ‘English Rabbit Stew’ (where he got a rabbit I don’t know). Given the earlier scene where Fuji is instructing people to get Blackthorne his own knives, and to make sure the food he prepares doesn’t touch any of their cooking surfaces I think they’re just trying to show that he’s a terrible cook who uses…
