It’s such a specific thing from a particular time and place. Most of the elements that stand out from the movie are not things you can just repeat. All you’re really left with in the end is the most shallow surface reading of the plot.

Voyager could have been a lot better if they had been able to go the DS9 route, but more serialized shows really suffered during this period. Farscape being a good example. The syndication market wanted shows that could loop forever with viewers catching episodes out of order.

It’s ironic that just a few years later 24…

I keep thinking that True Detective: Night Country would have been better titled The Terror: Night Country. It’s really just the chilly vibes.

Indeed. It was also already doing the “50s in the 90s” nostalgia comedy that Burton was doing around that time. Though not as successfully.

The patch also fixes a bunch of problems with pickups. You can now loot the crossbow in NG+ if you already have it, which was making it impossible to fully complete a playthrough previously

Someone’s gonna fit this to a nuclear submarine and Lithuanian Sean Connery is going to have to steal it

This video goes pretty in-depth on the early stages of a similar project involving rat neurons:

Apparently people used to believe the episode was ghostwritten by Anne Rice or was at least ripped from one of her stories. It wouldn’t be the only time such a thing had happened in Trek history but there’s no evidence for it.

While the episode is pretty bad I do think it’s a good example of how this kind of TV was a…

Egon was the villain. There were no ghosts before he and Ray started messing around with his illegal devices. They created a disease and then sold America the cure.

I remember sitting in a McDonalds in 99 and a friend telling me about the documentary and how it was all completely real. At the time I was probably dumb enough to believe it, but we saw American Pie instead.

Such a huge shock. His voice across the Remedy games has been such a constant for the fans and it felt like he still had so much left to do. One of the all time memorable voice artists who will be sorely missed. 

I love the idea of a grand Reylo Shipper council who know the activities of all members and take their reputation so seriously. It’s the kind of whacky lore only the internet can create.

I just think about longform videos as audiobooks. Usually I consume them gradually over time. Quite often they don’t need a great deal of visual attention so it’s easy to just have them running while I’m doing other things.

Right? Dr Horrible just feels like such a peak-Tumblr nerd thing. It would be downright impossible to believe Felicia Day didn’t know about Doctor Who.

I’m glad he is keen on doing more Fargo in the future. The anthology model means you can take as long as you like to find a new idea.

One of the all-time great “oh it’s that guy!” actors.

The scene where they enter the new TARDIS just has such a lovely sweeping energy. It’s like a kid running into a chocolate factory.

A few days ago I checked the scene after the anniversary patch and was disappointed to see it still out of sync. It’s a small thing but frustrating when you know it’s a post-release bug.

Super happy they went back and fixed it!

If they can survive the loss of Peter Sallis as Wallace they can survive anything.
