Very disappointed. This is why we cant have nice things.

ANOTHER article slagging Cowboy Bebop? It’s starting to seem less like a review and more like a campaign.

Huh...guess I should feel stupid for enjoying it. Say, anything exciting coming up on Nancy Drew, Riverdale, Batwoman or any of those other flawless gems on the CW?

At about the halfway point through the trailer, I realized I hadn’t seen one original idea. I stuck it out to the end, hoping to see one innovative creature design, stunning vista, surprising visual effect or even a mildly clever costume design.

It’s a hard show to judge- on it’s own merits it’s great, judged against the source material it’s weak- but then again the source material is inherently un-filmable as it was written.

Guys, I thought we had an understanding- all the CW shows go at the end of Morning Spoilers, so I know when to stop reading.

Dark Tower is intellectual property owned by Hasbro, and has a history of litigation and bad blood behind it. Curiously, the developers don’t seem to acknowledge that on their F.A.Q. page. Have they made some sort of arrangement, or are they hoping Hasbro won’t notice or care?

With the help of my young son, I discovered that angry bird rubber toys are almost perfectly pipe-sized. Someone on the interwebs suggested using a wet/dry shop vac to pull it back out, which worked like a charm.

My theory for this season is that they accidentally filmed a pile of unsolicited spec scripts from some fanboy forum.

“Hey, the guy who can raise dead people to fight for him is almost here- where are we going to hide our defenseless children whom, we’ve already seen, are just as effective ice zombies as adults?”

C) her power comes from the fact that her parents fucked and she was born as a coincidence

Ahh, but if you look at the atmosphere of Venus it’s pretty groovy- I’m not ready to give up on my dream of steampunk dirigibles floating above the clouds where the pressure and temperature are Earth-like, soaking up solar power on both the upper and lower surfaces and filled with plants converting CO2 to oxygen.…

Fuck this. Fuck all the gritty reboots. Fuck Section 31.

I didn’t know anything about this whole chapter of Star Trek lore, and I hate it more than anything.

I thought about that, but they did involve his department in helping with the evacuation- according to the sheriff they just wouldn’t tell him why.

eleven days later, this is what they come up with? I’m firmly NOT in the “they found aliens” camp, but it’s hard not to wonder when over a week of silence is followed by a tissue-thin story like this.

...because I never heard of a group of professionals coming over for a brainstorming session being put in cuffs and held in a jail cell overnight in the Obama or Clinton administrations. If you know otherwise, I’d love examples. Otherwise, I can only respond to the misdeeds I know about.

You mean the one that featured smart lead characters who practiced actual science, brought cosplay, D&D, love of science and comic book collecting to the mainstream and allowed the main characters to openly question religion? Sadly, it only lasted one season, and now is only remembered by wistful nerds writing “10…

What I need from Star Trek right now is what we needed back in the cold war when it first aired- I need some goddamn optimism. I need something that suggests we’ll rise above our current problems, get our collective shit together and go out into the universe to make tough choices based on moral considerations-and…

This book was absolutely transformative for me as a high schooler- there were two sequels if I recall, one imagining dinosaurs not being wiped out and continuing to evolve, and one imagining mankind’s future. The dinosaur one is pretty good, but the human evolution one wasn’t quite as strong.
