I think you’re wrong about plenty of your stances just like me, but for this article I’ve been paying attention only to your use of language and your eloquence is not in question. Speaking as Renaissance Humanist (straight up, honestly), eloquence is the baseline for Phase Two (inspiring your fellow citizens to…

I think these megastructure theories ignore the basics. The goal is self-sustainability for a given number of beings, on their own, in space, primarily in terms of the gene pool rather than mechanical/biological problems, though we can’t solve the mechanical/biological problems yet so it’s more than somewhat moot. But…

Mao? The guy who said “Kill all sparrows”? I’m guessing you’re a halfwit.

Counterpoint: it’s the future, with teleporters and cloaking devices and photon torpedos and strangely-forgotten miracle-serums, but no, Kirk has to save the day on a fucking motorbike. Could have been a hoverbike, but no, Kirk just has to be so old-school. That really annoyed me. Apart from that, it was so…

It’s like saying, “we’re gonna remake The Fog, but without pirate ghosts, because we just can’t leave well-enough alone.”

“November 13th: A partially-muscled skeleton stands by the perimeter fence and screams for 30 seconds before vanishing... really it’s just a question of assembling the components in their correct sequence.”

C’mon! Who tf hasn’t had stress-tooth?

I can speak as a Brit fanboy, by the time I was ten years old in 1980 I’d read every single Doctor Who book ever published to that point. That’s like 70-odd books. There is nothing in your article that I can disagree with. For me it’s not a question of if, but when we will have a female Doctor (the Doctor is an…

I have an observation about the phrase ‘white privilege’ which I think is counterproductive. When a ‘white’ person like me hears that phrase we think “Hey, I’m not privileged!” But we are, just completely averagely speaking of course we are, by comparison. You can’t tell me I’m privileged if I don’t feel privileged,…

If they do review it here, I want it to be reviewed by The Mist, like The Dome reviewed Under the Dome. In fact I preferred The Dome’s review here to the show itself. By a long way.

I’m sensing a distinct lack of monsters, and that the more they reveal, the less excited I become.

If the president does it, it’s not covfefe.

Globalisation. Neo-liberalism. As I was watching I thought ‘The Internet of All Things’, meaning total-interconnectedness. The surveillance state. But I’ve read the book several times so... I’m delighted with the series anyway, so much of it is done so well.

I would also say that Bowie understood perfectly the power that comes if you control your image, which makes him doubly valid for this. He was known worldwide. In fact, he was the most recognised person in the world when he toured China in the early 80s. So...

I agree this is a sign that it may not be shite. It may also be a sign that we are nearing the End of Days, which Cameron sweet-talked Peter Hyams (Capricorn One, Outland, Timecop) into directing. Think it was his last movie. Oh, he did 2010 as well. But my opinion is irrelevant because his movies make crazy money...…

I want to talk about Cloverfield and Dredd.

I honestly think Daniel Radcliffe would be a great Doctor.

Yeah, I agree it was good, but I baulked when they had Ealy’s character in a gunfight (in their HQ maybe, don’t quite recall) do the slow, menacing, determined, inexorable walk with the steely jaw trope. IDK why, but that bit just broke a great deal of it for me. Probs because they troped it up and broke the…

I watched Dredd for the nth time a couple of nights ago. The economy of that movie is awe-inspiring. I think my fave bit might be when Anderson takes out the bad lady judge. Or when Dredd headbutts the perp they’re trying to take in. Or the rando getting hit by the truck right at the start. Or the guy squashed by the…
