A thousand times this. It’s nice and all that dude is a hardcore Trekkie, but I’m damned if I’ve ever been able to sit through one of his shows and I doubt this one will be any different.

I can’t star this post enough. That list is tight.

I agree that this makes sense. Unfortunately, the Dark Tower is also very far from being King’s best work, and like always when a creator writes in references to hir earlier work, there is a very real danger that all you will do is remind people that once upon a time you wrote great stuff.

I would almost certainly enjoy it, if it was stills instead of video. Between the shift to almost exclusively covering TV, movies and comic books to the exclusion of written SF&F, the corporate trend towards only the most mainstream projects, the stupid endless scrolling that all but breaks the experience, and this…

That is an amazing track. Another!!

Really, I’m not a huge fan of the music, but fuck these people. Sorry, was that comment not serene enough?

I can assure you that not only do almost all soldiers say “that shit”, it is encouraged at every level of command. Nearly every time you are introduced to a new weapon or vehicle in training, a significant amount of time will be spent explaining exactly how badass that thing is, how much better it is than everything…

Seriously? Have you ever seen a single military design ever? It’s boys with toys turned up to 11 all the time. Every weapon and military vehicle ever made was a guy going OMG THIS IS SOOOOO COOL I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY LET ME DO THIS BRO DID YOU SEE HOW FREAKING COOL MY SHIT WAS?

Man, this whole thing with superheroes wearing militarized leather and armor suits needs to die already. They’re freaking superheroes with amazing powers, why the hell do they all need to wear practically identical body armor? Who the hell looks at a guy whose power is running faster than light and thinks, “yeah, that…

Honestly, I like it. Still not my favorite “Enterprise”-style design, but it’s cool. A break from tradition is probably good for the show. I’m more worried about the story. Is it going to be action all the time, or real Star Trek?

Pet peeve - people who, when caught not knowing as much as they thought about English, try to act like the thing they were caught not knowing is some incredibly odd and archaic variant that people should feel bad for using. “spelt” is perfectly acceptable.

That’s cool. It’s refreshing to hear from someone who’s not afraid to have their kids learn about reproduction. To be honest, I guess my kids are probably more familiar than most with injuries and diseases thanks to my work, but it would still probably be a bit grim for my youngest. Nobody in my family ever wants to…

I may be strange - no, wait, I am definitely strange - but I don’t think there’s anything here that kids shouldn’t be seeing. It’s just a cartoon of sheep doing what all animals do and sheep do best, and any kid who owns a dog is going to see something like this in real life sooner or later. If anything, I think this…

I guess “garbage” is a personal definition, but this is a port of a card game that has been highly acclaimed in the board game community. I haven’t played it yet myself because the cardboard version is really hard to find, but the word is it has a lot more depth than you might think. I love seeing things like this on…

This could only surprise people who have no exposure to girls in the target age group. This stuff is bigger than fidget spinners right now. My daughter has a Lego set, DVD, some T-shirts, a Batgirl utility belt, walkie talkies, a couple of books and about six action figures.

This is the first I’ve heard that M’Baku was in the movie, and I’m a little worried. We have Klaw and Killmonger, already two of BP’s classic villains in the movie. Now there are three villains? That’s a lot of villainy for one movie, along with a lot of worldbuilding to establish Wakanda and BP’s own story. It’s…

Some really cool designs there. As a person who has needed glasses practically since birth (never did well with contacts, and surgery is not an option), I’ve often wished I could get some glasses to match some of my geekier getups. It would be a bit of a splurge, but worth it.

That is a pretty good shrine!

So you had no problem with the article mentioning the LGBTQ community, gay men, trans people, and crossdressers explicitly, spending several paragraphs on discussing trans people and the types of difficulties they face, but when you got to “cis male” your brain said stop, that’s derogatory?

No, Mel Gibson is undeniably a good actor and director. The problem is, he’s slime and is getting close to unmarketable, no matter how many times the old boy network tries to bring him back. I’d rather see a guy who hasn’t quite proven himself as a director than a guy who has totally proven himself over and over to be…
