Well, geez, if we're gonna shit on all the art that represents an artist's desperate, uninspired need to pay their rent, we're gonna lose most of the culture.

Ah, get on over here, Modus. You can live in the crawlspace.

Thanos is the OG "Villain With Faceless Lackeys". Although, under the direction of Jim Starlin, it was more like "Villain With Lackeys Recruited From the Star Wars Cantina". Starlin loved a good random alien species throwdown.

You know, I really can't remember.

Yeah, oddly enough, the show True Detective reminded me of the most was this little miniseries from the 80s named Sheriffs or something. Anyway, that mini-series tracked one serial killer through his interactions with three generations of Law Enforcement in a small town. Also, Billy Dee Williams!

Well, he does that "shoot at guy but too close, grab guy by neck and pull him down and flip him over, get on one knee and shoot the other guy approaching, shoot first guy in head" thing like 20 times in the movie.

I just watched it last night, oddly enough. Everything from the Catacombs to the Epic Fist Fight was gold. The last big set piece in the Museum was also great, but Man did they ever turn up the John Wick is a Robotic Killing Machine in #2.

I agree. In the first 15 kills, at least 8 of those could probably walk away with significant head trauma and serious injuries to the lower extremeties. Unless, maybe you assume that criminals recieve healthcare in the John Wick universe in roughly the same way that Horses recieved healthcare on the American frontier…

Alien God kills roughly 150,000 Earth Dwelling Homo Sapiens everyday, not to mention what He's up to in the Alpha Centauri system. I think we can multi-task here.

But he DOES (No, he really doesn't).

Yeah, that's the thing about BSG. It's highs were among the greatest moments in the entire genre. That FTL was amazing. I'd put 33 up as the greatest episode of any sci-fi tv show ever. It did pitched space battle better than it's ever been done in TV or FIlm, IMO, although I really like the mechanics of Space Battle…

Yeah, also Flesh and Bone is a good episode, too. Oddly enough, Leoben is the only Cylon I really enjoyed. Well, Boomer was ok early on.

33 is great. The one where Starbuck takes on the Ceylon Raider and they get stuck on a planet is good. The one with Scar is good. The escape from New Caprica is pretty cool. That's all I got. Can't remember titles.

Why isn't "destroy all the colonies in one day and oops some got away we need to kill them too!" A plan?

Two seasons, really. Once they left New Caprica, things got really shitty really fast.

Would "and they've got a grudge." Or "and they've got a raging death boner." really have been so bad?

Swimming against the tide?

You make a valid point!

Oh, you know, there's all the social science that suggests that the information content of a belief system is basically irrelevant. What really matters are your feelings about your beliefs, not the beliefs themselves, and how that helps you to confirm your own ingroup membership.

My hope is they anthologize it and every season is an exploration of justifications for similarly irrevocable choices made by teenagers. Like 13 Reasons Why I had Unprotected Sex or 13 Reasons Why I texted While Driving.
