'A More Perfect Union'

As someone who only occasionally wades into the cesspool of Interweb fandom, the level of rage many of you are picking up on with regard to the Ghostbusters remake appears par for the course. Like all movies, there are those that hate it because of gender/race swaps, those who hate it because they don't understand the…

I like to call it Lost Wages

Is that why Mort's is next door? Endless supply of patties!

Every time I hear Kanye say anything I replace the actual audio with "I'm the genius voice of a generation!", laugh to myself, and then move on. Guy makes fun beats, writes bad lyrics, and says narcissistic things. Chuckle and click on the next thing. People who get viscerally angry at Kanye, the Kardashians, etc.…

Oliver? Is that you?

So far, this season has felt like POI's greatest hits and I love it. Fun episode but beyond the 10 billion/nil score of the infant ASI deathmatch, there was little momentum in the overarching story. There's been a slow slide into increasing hopelessness, currently climaxing in last week's somewhat cruel glimpse into…

I wouldn't go so far as to say I knew it, but there was a inkling that something was off once I saw the boat during Shaw's escape. There was something too obvious about it - the scene started to have the feel of a scripted video game. Then with the time lag, the strange changes in mood, the oh-so-obvious "we wanted…

Awww, magic ruined. Still hilarious though

Obvious misdirection. The man is Max Malini, leader of the Carnival of Crime! This CIA thing is just a cover for their next heist.

Like 8 more seconds of blue fire to Hive's face and everything would have been copacetic. Just write it so Daisy greets the quinjet, Lash charges her, pulls out the brain bugs while Hive is going "WTF". You can still have Crocodile Dundee kill him as they board or something.

There were definite moments of great story telling here and the flashbacks informed John's character even further. Keith David was fine as the CIA "bad guy" but the heel-face turn didn't feel very earned. With John's apocalyptic intonations of the deadly force Beale would supposedly wield the "I like to think you're…

"Fortunately, the damage that the Machine has suffered has real consequences. This is fortunate because it means that the Season Four finale had real dramatic weight to it, but it’s also an unfortunate situation for the team itself."

"I'm coming up with 32 point 33, repeating of course, percentage of survival."

That rings true. I've only gone through S4 the one time, but I believe Samaritan was, at the very least, manipulating people's lives to determine effective stressers (in that town upstate). I'm assuming that these "suicides" are Samari-goons killing for the Decima - speaking of which do we know to what extent…

"Donald Trump… [has] a special appeal to an important segment of the party base: Obnoxious, ill-informed blue-collar guys who enjoyed watching Trump make a braying ass of himself on TV related to him, because he [is] their fantasy of what kind of rich guy they’d like to be."

The 'no heroes, no villains' line bugged me a bit. No heroes I can buy, but some people purposefully hurt others for their own interests. Pretty villainous, I must say.

I've only watched S5E2 so far but wanted to throw this out there (S5E3 tonight, work is taking forever!):

The second mission in the original Halo is definitely the up there. A boring, drive here, shoot these guys mission that always takes 30-40 minutes. Everything around it is awesome, but even 12 year old me was bored
