Yup. Isn’t it a delightful train wreck?

Yeah, pretty well describes my profession, computer programming, too. And I am constantly watching my weight.

Oh, for crying out loud! How could you leave out Truly, Madly, Deeply?

And, umm... heavy.

Blindspot last week was so unspeakably bad that I’m giving the show one more week to redeem itself before it drop it. Seriously, the story was terrible, the B-plot made no sense, the visual effects were laughably bad, and the action scenes were just dull. What happened during the hiatus?

And has been since forever. Really, it’s trapped in development hell.

I think because the end goal is to land the rocket right beside the launch pad. That’s the most cost-effective way to re-use the rocket. They’re landing on the drone ship to perfect the method before attempting a more risky ground landing.

I really think you’re confusing him with Heinlein. I don’t remember that much sex in the later Dune books, while Heinlein’s later works were crawling with it, up to and including the incest, orgies, and incestuous orgies.

Well, I gave up on the series 30 years ago, vowing never to read it until it was complete. I doubt that will ever happen.

How about this?

I’m pretty sure it suffered in the translation, but yeah, they were never that hot.

Noooo! How many suicides has that man caused!

The thing about the Dune series is that you have to read all of the books (that Herbert himself wrote) to understand that it isn’t about Arrakis or the Atreides but about the Bene Gesserit and the long view. If you read Heretics and Chapterhouse, you’ll appreciate what a massive vision Herbert had.

Thanks! I’ve been looking for a reason to rage-quit this show!

The Big Bang Theory. God, what a waste of talent.

I remember reading somewhere that the Harlan Stone character was supposed to be a parody of Harlan Ellison. Anyone else remember that? Obviously, they didn’t hit too close to the mark or Ellison would have sued. :P

I think they sold me with that gag that’s in the ads, “It’s time to address the elephant in the room: Doris, Happy Birthday.”

Who is he going to kill off?

Is that William Sadler as the President in ‘Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.’? Because that’s pretty cool continuity if it is. I wonder who the new VP is, and if Gary Shandling is still in jail?

Yeah, it’s more commonly understood in the U.K., and to a lesser extent, Canada. I guess that’s how Whedon snuck it past the US censors.
