A game based on a Stanislaw Lem book?  I assume that in the final level you have to surrender to the fact that alien consciousness is ultimately unknowable and unapproachable.  How many buffs is that going to take?

From all accounts it was a last minute decision: Faye Marsey (Shona) was already signed to play the new companion, but Capaldi and Coleman were getting along really well and he convinced her to stay for one more season.

Even if you don’t like the genre (and I’m with you -- I haven’t bothered since I was 14 and Andre the Giant was a thing), as someone noted above it shouldn’t come as a surprise that those people are often ferociously good entertainers.  They’re basically acting with their entire bodies in the ring, and knowing how to…

What lawyer took this on anyway?

Was I the only person who thought that the “butterfly” walking through the parking lot seemed like a tiny tribute to Frankenhooker?  I’d assume it was only me, but James Gunn worked for Troma so you know he’s seen it.

And not a single thing of value was lost.  May his name be swiftly forgotten.

As always, the moral is: even if you like the show itself, do not ever engage with Supernatural fandom.

From all accounts, The Expanse ended up there because Bezos, personally, was a huge fan and wanted to rescue the show. Being richer than god has its perks.

Your unsung forebears.

Yeah, now that I’ve said it, I really just want to know who to hand my money to.

Grey 17 is Missing trips over “TKO,” who was trying to remain inconspicuous by the drinks cart, and all the glassware goes flying everywhere...

Right after “Everybody Love Shaniqua!”

I think they got caught in a bit of a trap wherein all of the attempt to make spinoff/sequel shows and movies tanked so the whole thing faded from memory, and so a reboot made sense as a way to rejuvenate the project.

Your mouth to god’s ear and all that, but I’m dubious that anyone will be able to make the case to HBO that they should spend that kind of money on a space opera show.

So. Um. I don’t want to get you too excited because it doesn’t happen often, but ZODIAC MOTHERFUCKER is already an occasional Defector comment thread participant.  The man is nothing if not a sports fan.

If any of you can hear a slight keening sound coming from the general direction of Los Angeles, that would be Joe Straczynski, realizing that his plans for a Babylon 5 reboot have just been torpedoed in the most hilariously ironic way possible. “Warner sells off for scrap the network that they completely forgot were…

The Dissolve’s sad failure makes for an interesting contrast with Defector, which at least so far has managed the impressive trick of importing most of the old Deadspin’s audience, and apparently making the co-op organization model and subscription funding work — they even monetized being able to comment, and people…

I always assumed that Chris Claremont slept with his mom and this was his revenge.
