“...look like they came straight from Arrakis.”

no, they don’t - you should watch the film again and pay attention to the actual clothes worn by the characters on Arrakis.

“Freelance”
good god.
what an utter shit show.

did no one learn from “The Lost City”?

it may have helped her get her first few jobs/opportunities....but does anyone really think she got Madame Web because of her father?

you forgot:
Insert Other Love Interest Here Who Also Might Be Evil But Has a Tragic Backstory So That Makes The Shit They Do Sort Of OK.

what the fuck is wrong with people who read books that can’t summon up the courage to tell people who judge them for the kinds of books they read to simply “Fuck Off”?

Good Job World!

“...writers feel like they’re afraid of characters growing and being messy or annoying in spots”

this is pretty much true of most writing now - no one can actually be bad/unsympathetic - even if they grow over time.

it’s amazing that the ‘Halo Forward Unto Dawn’ movie is still a better adaptation than this TV show...

unreal....

this ‘bottom-up residual structure’ seems to be a good and very fair idea.

and True Lies!

because if you’re just exploring a tomb and finding treasure and keeping it from ‘bad guys’ then you’re just stealing from the people of that country - and that’s bad.

headline fix:
Company Employee Has Good Experience Using Company Product

The Continental looks like a dumb cash grab....but it’s nice to see Keith Flint getting some work.

um...I don’t think ‘democratization’ is the word you’re looking for....

um....none of the jobs described in this post have anything to do with writing....

it seems like so long ago that the first season came out - I’d actually forgotten how cheap it looks...

but you’re right, Alvaro Morte is really enjoying himself...unlike the audience.

his use of the word ‘articulated’ is enough to signal what sort of person he is.

yep...and doesn’t that sound interesting? :)
