Gillian Anderson has been brilliant throughout the series as Bedelia. Such incredible poise and stillness, like a doll. And then those moments where the facade cracks just a bit (as she’s walking backwards away from Hannibal while talking about how he’s dangerous).

SHAW AND ROOT AND CONTROL TEAM UP AND KILL SAMARITAN.

I’ve read at least one of the books, and there is almost zero corellation between the books and the show aside from a character name. The book (books? it’s been a while) I read was pretty good.

Season one of the bbc’s “Broadchurch” is great - it’s all about unraveling a murder in a seaside town. The big British cold case detective show a few years ago was “waking the dead” which has played on local PBS stations, but I don’t know if it’s hit the major streaming services in the US.

*blink* YAAAAAAAY! I totally missed that news. I’ve got most of the run, but am missing a few.

Oh wow! Any word on reprinting the first non-Gaiman/Buckingham issues as well?

Is there much opportunity for (or need for) simulating climates outside of TN, or with insects/wildlife from outside the immediate ecosystem? I’m thinking simulating something like the American southwest or something - TN is mostly USDA zone 5, I think, so I’m wondering if you can do work simulating zone 2 or zone 8…

I’ve seen lots of cosplay from books, but it tends to be more at SF cons (from a time when it was called “hall costumes” or things for the masquerade).

I’d suggest you watch it again with the audio description track running. It really enhances the whole experience, I think.

I’m a network engineer. I started in the field back before the first graphical web browser was released. So, the rise of the web. And the ubiquity of internet connectivity, now. But that’s a result of the web.

That movie was exactly what I wanted - cheesey homage to a particular lush vision of the future, where airplanes can be submarines and Angelina Jolie runs a helicarrier full of badasses.

BRAVO! GOOD JOB, PEOPLE.

All 189 lockers have been sealed shut for security reasons for more than 15 years.

Have you read Tataki’s “A Different Mirror”? It looks at the American experience and American history through the experiences of different minoritiy groups at different times. Really interesting book.

Oh god, I read this book. More accurately, I listened to it as a book on tape back while driving around the deserts of the western US. This was the time I discovered that while reading aloud makes good writing better, it makes bad writing worse because you can’t just skim ahead until you get to some plot or an…

“Nostalgia is a fundamentally regressive, non-constructive sentiment.”

Concord grapes were created in Concord, MA and soon expanded, blob-like, to take over the jelly/jam world.

Also, James Garner didn’t give up the invasion details when the Germans tried to fool him into thinking it had already happened. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt005780…)

WAIT, NO, THERE IT IS! there’s a burned out husk of a Citgo sign - my expectations have been met!

I see the USS Constitution, a couple of Colonial era landmarks, the State House, and Fenway Park, but I really want to see a wrecked post-apocalyptic Citgo sign. And maybe a wrecked Bill Buckner Bridge Zakim Bridge
