Oh, yeah, the show is bad. That the second episode is the cartoonishly racist The Blind Banker should have been the dead give-away from the start: but again, I get why people hung on. You chop individual scenes out of Sherlock and you go ‘man that looks slick/cool/is well acted/is funny”, and they are—its only when you…

It literally made me feel ill. It was so shockingly cruel.

In a post-Rust world we could probably revise the misleading syntax in the headline.

Yeah I’ve seen it, but I generally don’t find the anti-Sherlock discourse terribly interesting in and of itself because it usually boils down to just some trumped-up form of cringe culture that ends-up being super unfair to your younger self. (Like in Sherlock’s example the pilot is still really good and the cast is…

I wrote below how I bailed on DW during the first Chibnail season (and haven’t been back) because the show built up how progressive it was going to be and then wrote a disturbingly reactionary and centrist story where our female protagonist stands around passively all of the time an is now super into incrementalism.…

I bailed in her first season because the show was really uncomfortably reactionary and I really didn’t like how the first female doctor was written so passively. The episode where Pseudo-Trump gets people killed and the Doctor’s respond is to look sad about it than wander away. The episode where it turns out Space…

Doctor Who ran into this problem under RTD’s bloated tenure (seriously, why is anyone excited he’s coming back?)

The dollar difference plus customs plus shipping kind of erases the price savings. Even if I did it in person (with 90% of Canadians within a hundred miles of the US border getting into the states isn’t crazy-difficult), when you add in the dollar exchange, replacing my expired passport, and gas and other expenses it…

I preferred Cougerton Abbey.

Given the current minimum wage of some of his employees, can Mr. Schultz prove that the work he has done is commensurate to the labour of one his employees working without pause for over 53000 years?

If you made $500 an hour and worked without a single break for a little over two hundred and twenty-eight years you would have earned a billion dollars (before tax, anyway). I am sure Mr. Schultz has the receipts to prove that his labour was commiserate with a $500/hour wage for over seven hundred years straight of…

Nearly exclusively so—and most you get an occasion mention for the fact that Australians pay more for video games than practically anyone, but even then its presented as little more than a curio. It’s just All US All The Time[1], which makes sense from an audience viewpoint but is underwhelming from understanding…

I keep dreaming about a PS5. Zero opportunity to get one given that in Canada they cost a grand and I don’t have that kind of money lying around. I’ve been struggling for work since before the Pandemic.

Masters of Doom taught me that John Carmack is human garbage for how he treated his cat and it bothers me that he’s dodged karmic retribution all these years.

I’d have gotten it. I’d have laughed.

Damn dirty commies want a world without 47 Funko pop variants of Sheldon Cooper.

I take umbrage at your insinuation that any design work went into a Funko pop.

Indistinguishable from what they look like outside a landfill: garbage.

Yeah but that’s twenty bucks I have no reason to spend if I can just use a ROM or disk image.

It’s a lot harder to Cask of Amontillado people in real life anyway.
