I have a friend who used to works at the Macy's in Tysons' Corner Mall (about 10 miles from DC) and he sold a mattress to Loretta Lynch, so I think I like her!

I actually watched four episodes last night! Here are some notes I took:
Pilot:
-It’s very smart that the sci-fi premise is layered over more exciting genres and tropes like a stolen identity charade so we don’t have to get a slow burn
-It feels influenced by British underground/punk like Trainspotting or 24 Hour Party…

Someone else said that Christopher Nolan's movie might actually have Lightoller.

He didn't fill anything over capacity

Thank you. I'm not sure if I'll catch up to the present in time. My plan is to watch the first season and then watch some selected episodes. I'm also going to post my notes and thoughts as I cycle through some of the first episodes.
Is the last season?

I think film buffs at large are generally not really in agreement on whether Howard is a good or bad director. No one really thinks he's great but I think the general consensus is he's pretty comeptent, does that sound accurate? I personally thought Da Vinci Code was pretty servicable, Apollo 13 is my favorite film of…

I would assume that the people trying to determine tour adulthood wouldn't ask you about your orgasm habits (particularly during the Victorian times)

I'd feel more confident pronouncing the true Jewish name of god (yod-hay-vav-hay) then that guys name

Emma was one the ones I was referring to as a romantic interest of his. They casually kiss in S1 and explicitly date a little later

Awesome. Will you all stick around for me to discuss this season if it takes me a while to catch up to and discuss this season?

Comment of the Week! Congrats

I tend to look at the Titanic like a grand case of "sometimes, shit happens." It's sexy to look at the Titanic as a case of "whodunit" but it's all easier to see in hindsight. The lifeboats needed to be unloaded with urgency. If they loaded fewer lifeboats they wouldn't have gotten off the ship which would have…

My understanding was that Smith was popular with many of the first class passengers. He was a good schmoozer and people recognized him and by making him the Captain, White Star figured more of the first class passengers would buy tickets. As far as his maritime skills, they weren't as good, but he was capable of the…

I think the biggest problem was that people didn't want to go back and help the screaming people at sea who were crying out for help. Testimony shows that people on board the lifeboats could hear the cries for help. Everyone had been so human and civil up to that point, but they were worried that there wouldn't be…

I posted it somewhere but it's based on someone's testimony at the congressional hearing that happened afterwards to find out who was responsible for the crash. The passenger's name was Elizabeth Lines:

That's what the movie would have you believe. But it's based on the testimony of just one passenger: Elizabeth Lines claimed to overhear it and said it at the hearing https://www.encyclopedia-ti…

www.encyclopedia-titanica.org is a great site for all of that!
What was awful was that 13-year-olds were considered adults.They had to fight Lightoller to get teenagers to stay on the boards

yes, people are upset at Lightoller for not filling the lifeboats to capacity which killed off people, but he also was willing to sacrifice himself, and he did do a good job saving lives when they were all washed over into the Atlantic.

They were in the shipping lines, and ship traffic was like at an all-time peak. Cargo ships and passenger ships were all over the place. If you look at the sea charts the night the Titanic sank, there were a dozen ships in the vicinity (

Didn't Koran John Cho shrug off the idea of playing Japanese Sulu in STar Trek pretty quickly?
