That’s definitely the issue with the notion that comics never change. It’s not true! Big events often do have massive impact that seriously alters the landscape for years to come. In any other medium just about, that could be permanent, the whole life of the story. But comics never end, and eventually something comes…

I heard “Dominic The Christmas Donkey” for the first time this past Christmas and my immediate gut reaction was “What the fuck is THIS?” Absolutely an instant brand new topper to my “worst” list, and I basically hate most Christmas music just on principle anymore due to close relatives being Christmas obsessed YEAR…

Orrr... completely ban “tipped minimum wage” and return the notion of tipping to what most people assume it is before learning that “tipped minimum wage” exists: a reward for exceptional service. I had no idea that was a thing for a LONG time, and was aghast to learn about it.

Intensely theatrical. Seems to genuinely enjoy throwing himself into ridiculous and elaborate performances, largely just for his own amusement. But also the sort who casually murders, literally butchers people, wears a mask made of a pig face, and will happily cut you open on a whim. He gets close, but he’s missing a…

At least this version actually has used masks as a motif for his victims, gruesome surgeries, etc. He’s at least a percentage as genuinely disturbing as his comic book counterpart. The version from Beware The Batman was just a complete waste.

John Diggle’s tremor is many times over more convincing than Emma Swan’s at least. I swear it was like she was just flailing her hand about instead of suffering actual involuntary movement. Kind of pissed me off.

I really feel like the show has seriously hit its stride. I seem to say that a lot.

Crap. This JUST got added to my DirecTV package like a month or two ago. Something. One day just suddenly I noticed it was there. In SD, but still. I hadn’t watched it much due to just not feeling like TV in general , but I caught at least one episode of the 90s Outer Limits show and was very happy about that.

This seems to have been cropped to remove any details that might credit the original source.

The rest of the movie could be utter garbage, but I’ll call it a win if they do a satisfying take on the intro from the show. Opening credits sequences are pretty out of fashion these days, but they can make or break an anthology series, and AYAOTD had a real winner. It needs to be a significant part of any adaptation.

I seem to recall that generally “Santa” gifts magically appeared overnight (or while we were out to dinner, which was a pretty darn neat trick the first time it happened), and were not wrapped. Other gifts did come explicitly from parents (and others), and typically were wrapped, and were usually under the tree for…

Mesh support really did do a lot to kill that “best Lego set in the universe” feeling that building with prims in-world gave. I still create with mesh in Blender for SL, but far less freely than when I could just start plunking down prims and seeing what I came up with.

This is covered in the story.

I’m good with this. Accent, sure. Also name, fashion sense, attitude, everything completely manufactured because she decided to radically reinvent herself.

Actually, I’m not quite “duck and cover” old. But I’d say at least 30% of the popular media in my childhood (I was always a scifi fan) had man-made worldwide apocalypse as a theme, either as a current plot point or part of its back story. I’d say my age group didn’t necessarily FEAR it, but we did sort of just assume…

Yeah, it was going to be so awesome after we rebuilt from the nuclear war....

I would assume the perception of Wing as the “best” series has much to do with the fact that it was the first to air on American television. It holds a special nostalgic place, and that’s hard to compete with.

That shuttle crash really was one of the finest examples of such a thing I’ve ever seen. Tense, understated, gripping, emotional but never over the top. The computer steadily repeating the ground warning, but never blaring ridiculous alarms. The actual visuals of the impacts and the rear section shearing away. I was…

Hm, LA, you’re right... well, I guess that puts it solidly in season 3 then. The first half of it was ok anyway.

Oh, that’s an unfortunate coincidence (and typo). I thought you were talking about Spacey when you said “Rapp rape”, which would have been a somewhat extreme description of the incident described. But you mean Fatty Arbuckle and Virginia Rappe.
