I’m very impressed with the way this story has been brought to TV. It’s rare that I actually prefer a TV show/movie to the original books, but the Expanse has made me a believer. I couldn’t figure out how they would bring the Eros disaster to the screen, but they pulled it off nicely. As much as I hate to say it,…

I kinda wondered about that myself. The paper might have just plugged that in because supposedly, the military doesn’t do maneuvers any closer to shore. At Folly Beach the walls shook and windows vibrated, but at the time I didn’t really equate it to a sonic boom because it wasn’t particularly loud and it lasted a…

Yeah, at first I thought it was an earthquake. But in fairness, the event was on the front page of the P&C, Tuesday, I think. Of course, that’s the same as nothing, but still. They reported it as sonic booms originating 30 miles offshore from USMC jets. They said it was reported inland as far as North Chuck and Ladson.

Good episode. I do have the feeling that the honeymoon’s over for Limitless. I only hope they hang onto Brian’s goofiness as the show goes forward and also keep the humor quoteint close to the same level. Perhaps they’ll be able to keep it light till closer to the season finale, but the walls appear to be closing in…

I think this is for the best. At least we won’t be deluged with people complaining about the TV show diverging from the books and the TV show not respecting the canon of the books. Now I feel free to enjoy the TV show and still look forward to the books, although I’m not holding my breath any longer about Winds ever…

A couple decades ago, I subscribed to over 10 mags/month. I liked reading them since the content they contained wasn’t readily available anywhere else. Today, tho, that no longer holds true. I’m down to 1 and that’s Wired. They offer an online version which I sometimes refer to, but I still like reading it from paper.…

I think I would be more surprised if this article was announcing a release date. After last year’s promises I sorta just put the whole thing out of my mind, it’s easier to deal with it that way. I’ve been saying for a couple of years that GRRM is a man who is having more fun with life now than he’s probably ever had…

Yes, I’ve read that, to0. I found it pretty interesting when he was finishing up, “The End of All Things” (I think? Maybe last spring?) Anyway, I was truly impressed with the shear volume he was knocking out every morning, especially since I believe he was away from home attending a Con in Australia at the time. It…

Scalzi’s a pretty entertaining guy in his own right. His twitter feed is among my favorites, but I often wonder when he finds time to write? The Old Mans War series ranks up there with my all time favorites and because of it, I’ve managed to read all his other novels. He writes very readable books, I like his…

I’ve backed off my all digital stance this past year. Biggest reason? Without that hard-copy sitting on a shelf, I can’t recall what I’ve read, who wrote it, and whether or not I need to keep buying the author. A couple of years ago, I bought the kindle version and if I was impressed, I bought a hard copy. But too…

I’m sure it’s good, more in line with the excellent middle three rather than the disastress first three. That said, I haven’t seen it and I don’t see myself worrying about it till the crowds die down. I’ve followed the Morning Spoilers here and actually, I feel like I know the high points already. Don’t get me wrong,…

I’ve gotta say the The 100 looks pretty badass. I was a little concerned that they would have a hard time holding on to the audience after such a long hiatus. But if that trailer is any indication, it looks like they’ll be coming out swinging. Can’t wait!

KSR’s Mars Trilogy ranks right up there as some of my favorite books of all time. In the back of my mind, I’ve always hoped that somebody would develope it for TV. But Spike? I guess JMS and Gerardis involvement gives it some weight, but again, Spike? My biggest fear is that they’ll completely blow it which would…

Nice post. I find that The Leftovers sticks with me throughout the week. Honestly, by the time the credits roll on most shows I’ve already flushed them into my minds trash. The quality of this production lends itself to further thought unlike so many others. I would love to see how the budget compares to other 1 hour…

I’m a little sad that this season is over. The thing is, for a while there, I really felt like the show was gearing up for a big reveal. They took the plunge and launched themselves headfirst into the void. The dark-side, which they had danced around the entire first season. Finally they were showing us the stuff we…

iZombie is TV at its best. It’s funny and smart. For me, a person who loves a serial format, it almost makes me want to cross the line to one-shots. I have to believe that in all the years since Veronica Mars, the networks had to know that Rob Thomas has a special talent. I don’t know why it’s taken so long for him to…

I really enjoyed the first episode. It looks as if it’s living up to its billing as quality TV. I like the way they are following the books, in fact, I like their interpretation better, so far. Like everybody else, I wonder how they are going to handle some of the material because it gets so huge in scope. SyFy is…

I’m looking forward to the show, but when I tried to re-read the first couple of books in the series, I really struggled. I guess a couple of decades changes a person’s taste in the genre. I was bored. Still, I think that MTV is dead serious about this one and I’m betting it will be worthwhile.

The Leftovers is just so well done and it really can’t be restricted to just one genre. This was kinda a risky episode for them, tho. I mean they actually embraced the madness, whether it was a near death experience, a dream sequence, or some kind of voodoo exorcism. Last night’s episode gave me some hope that the…

I just hit episode #11 of Jessica Jones. Seriously, what a show! I’m sure I haven’t seen all the original Netflix content, but everything that I have has been great. I do wonder how their budgets compare with other network and cable shows, I’m betting that they are all pretty close. Which makes me wonder how they…
