“eating the rainbow”

I don’t really think Discovery is either boring or unfun, but I get your point about Game of Thrones in space. So many shows have become soap-operas filled with “oh shit, did they just do that” moments.

I like Discovery, but it doesn’t really feel like Trek to me. Even in DS9's darker moments, it’s still fundamentally optimistic which I think is an important part of Star Trek. Discovery is entertaining but it’s very much an outlier in Trekdom.

Yeah, that’s pretty much my take, too.

Natalie Portman will be Thor? I was never crazy about her Jane performance (felt a little mailed-in plus those movies are low points in the MCU) but it’s pretty interesting that they are going into that storyline in the films.

I use Plex a lot but it’s strictly for watching my own content. That seems to be its best use-case. I don’t understand how Plex thinks it’s going to get any share of the crowded streaming market.

My only experience with She-Hulk comics is through Dan’s Slott’s run, which I thought was great. Anything else good?

“Have people lost the ability to identify narcissistic, self entitled psychopaths on sight?”

Everybody get ready for some parkour!

I’ve got this book and it’s crazy beautiful but fair warning that it is oversized and filled with more autobiographical material than artwork. If you are looking for a book of just artwork (and that fits on your bookshelf) then check out some of his other works. That said, I don’t regret my purchase, so I don’t want…

Most 7-year-olds I’ve known can barely play Monopoly.

Quirky enough for the Doctor but not over the top like some of the older generations’ clothes. The Doctor always goes through a bunch of wardrobe changes, so we’ll see which part of the outfit sticks throughout her run. I can get behind the suspenders being her thing in the way the bowties were for 11. I haven’t…

Is no one going to point out how close this guy’s name is to the word “felcher”?

Spiderman without Spiderman? Maybe call it Gotham.

But it’s fun to watch if you are studying Japanese. Every time I watch it I understand a new joke!

Hanamonogatari should really be considered the Kanbaru arc of the Second Season (it basically wasn’t done in time). I agree that it kind of feels pointless compared to most other arcs, though.

One drink is not enough. Two drinks are enough. Three drinks are not enough.

The Wheel of Time itself is definitely not executed very well, but the world of the WoT provides excellent source material for an adaptation. There’s a ton of great in terms of background and setting, and the overall sweep and plot of it is good. The work that needs to be put into it is trimming the fluff and imbuing…

A vanilla graviton should actually be massless, since it transmits a long-range force. Maybe you mean the proposed supersymmetric partner, the gravitino? Or, in a theory with large warped extra dimensions, maybe there is a massive graviton mode associated with the extra dimension(s)?
