I work for the North American branch of QinetiQ. I don't know about hoverboards, but we're making exciting advances in the field of ghostbusting.
What was the song that the Chinese acrobats listened to? It sounded like a Chinese cover of "Jet Boy, Jet Girl".
I liked Fortress of Solitude, but Chronic City is the worst. Stay away from it.
That was the lamest occupation I've ever seen. The occupying Sixers and mercenaries didn't even try to take control of the colony. They let the rebel leader Washington walk around unharmed. They let Jim Shannon, Taylor's right-hand man, also go free. They even let the Shannons have a rebel meeting in their house.…
He had a heavy keyboard around his neck, so I'll give him a break. Tracy Morgan looked drunk, though.
Larry "Bud" Melman.
No, but I do occasionally sing the song about sparkling apple juice.
How does Caramon feel about that?
That bothered me too.
It's Mira's motivation, it's Skye's motivation, and it's the motivation of that orphan from a previous episode. People on this show only do bad things because their loved ones are being held hostage. I'm sure it'll eventually be revealed that every individual Sixer has a child, parent, or cuddly puppy being held…
It's a good thing the microchip on the dragonfly didn't get destroyed in the EMP!
They mentioned David Sedaris by name earlier in the episode. Then they had something happen which was directly from the Santa Land Diaries. It's weird to both name-check Sedaris and rip him off.
It's my third episode, and I agree. The humor is too fast and too silly. And the characters are too similar; everyone talks in the same voice. I feel like the show doesn't have any point of view; it's just a joke delivery device. I like some of the jokes, but it might not be enough to keep me watching.
My favorite part was the communication with the future. Apparently the Sixers can establish a two-way holographic link to anyone in 2149, from a portable device, at a moment's notice. How did Josh's girlfriend get the message? Does she wait in 2149 with the Sixers' friends, just in case a message comes through?
I can't illegally download anything without shouting "I'm a bootleggah!"
Soul Music was the first Discworld book that I read. It's a terrible introduction to the series; it focuses on parody and puns without any of the worldbuilding or philosophy. It nearly put me off the Discworld entirely.
RM is better than Mort, but it's easier to understand if you've already read Mort.
I was surprised to see a few people put Pyramids in their top 5 Discworld books (in the Snuff review thread). It's not the worst (The Last Continent!), but it's far from the best.
Also, when Jim and his annoying daughter (not to be confused with his annoying son or his other annoying daughter) got out of the Wikipedia room, they were met by soldiers. Jim told the soldiers to escort his daughter to somewhere safe while he went to Taylor. You'd think that the professional, equipped, on-duty…
