Actually, the first couple of season 1 episodes of Legion reminded me of the Prisoner. But yes, given the smaller budget and era ( only what, 10 or 15 years into mass market television ), I imagine that the viewing audience of 60's era Prisoner had the same experience as 10's era Legion.

If you are at the level of “professional” when playing poker, at least 80% of the game is reading your opponents. Most professionals if they sit down with random players could win money without even looking at their dealt cards.

The comlynx thing was awesome if you had enough people with the system. 6 player Checkered Flag ( Pole Position ) and 4 player Warbirds sessions really great experiences.

That whole subplot is incredibly dumb. Oceanside has no reason to help them and every meeting with Rick’s group has cost them dearly.

I think the old superhero MMO “City of Heroes” had that kind of problem. Everyone who joined wanted to make their avatar either Spiderman or Wolverine....at which point Marvel would come in a sue them, so the developers had to go out of their way to ensure that players couldn’t game their character creation tool to…

I admit that Stranger Things has a bunch of nostaglia going for it....but I think it’s actually pretty short on pure pop culture references. It’s the difference between “I see what you did there by sneaking in a quick shot of [insert product X]” and “let’s make a show that feels like it was made back in that era and…

In another, a dragon-maid gets hopelessly turned on by Shakespeare’s sonnets.

“First and foremost, Overwatch is a game about heroes,

Steppenwolf, played by Ciarán Hinds.

This may seems like an odd question...but why bother blurring the faces and names of the Twitter accounts? If people are posting to the world their thoughts and I assume that Twitter has appropriate age gates that would prevent minors for accessing their their site....

Meh, the Clue VCR Game story was more entertaining.

I don’t think critical opinion has changed much ( like, real movie critics), just that the internet opinion has changed. As other examples, Ghostbusters 2 and Clue are somehow regarded as classic by the internet nowadays but I remember seeing those in the theater and thinking, “man, these movies are marginal at best.”

The one thing I’ve always wondered about this movie....

On the other hand, how much handwringing has Deadspin done about Colin Kaepernick without anyone at Deadspin working with the confines of an NFL head office, where the only “insider knowledge” of how the NFL works is “I’m a big fan of sports”.

Well, the author had it correct...a lot of the ticky-tackiness of this is due to edge case analysis during super slo-mo replay. “Clearly possessing” often means two different things at normal speed and a speed of 1000 frames per second.

Based on that last image, the ending MUST have something to do with people not wearing pants.

It’s pretty infuriating how badly the show like to put Negan into bad situations where he should easily be killed, just to have him magically not get killed ( Lucille stops a bullet, Rick doesn’t bother to have his army light up the walkway with machine gun fire while Negan is standing up there, etc ).

I just figured that the plan was “let’s get everyone in there and rescue Han, and get out.” But they obviously all can’t show up at once.

Upon reading that comment, NFL owners are now rubbing their chins, thinking, “Hey, why NOT schedule 3 more exciting pre-season games in June.”

I only use a handful of apps like Outlook, Southwest, Fidelity...Apple essentially told me it was my fault
