I was delighted to see my beloved Sheffield United secure promotion back to the Premier League next season.

Ah Eve if Destruction. Scott Lobdell’s disastrous final stand on the X-books

Not a great film for sure. While it’s a shame it got edited down, I don’t necessarily think it’s a bad thing. For a film like this, you want to get straight into the action rather than fuck around when it’s already long.

Fuck I love that line.

Interesting! I had never thought to check that.

The books that DS9: The Fallen are based on are actually excellent and worth reading. It’s called Star Trek: Millenium.

Loved that game. I got it for Christmas 1995 and played so much of it. My friends and I interpreted the title literally and assumed it to be the final TNG adventure before Generations destroyed The D. 

God that was good. He’s so desperate for an in and they couldn’t give less of a shit.

That’s a shame but I echo what everyone else is saying - it doesn’t work without Cage. 

Well, that’s unexpected but I’m glad this will finally come to fruition. 

I watched the shit out of that show circa 1995.

Season 2 is one that I binged the week after it finished while I was on a few days off and I thought it was totally fine. Not as good as Season 1 to be sure but even at the time I thought people were overly critical and prone to weirdly intense levels of hyperbole. 

Oh yeah These Days is great too.

Yeah I’d largely agree with all of that.

Another super underrated REM track is Texarkana from Out of Time. Great, great song.

That was exactly what it was for me when I was a teenager.

REM’s early 2000s are very weird.

Love that one. My fiance and I were separated by borders during Covid with her overseas at the time that travel stopped. I listened to that song so much during 2020.

Stipe still hates it.

I wasn’t born until the mid-late 80s, long afterward but I’ve always adore the song. Finding out that it was about the decline and end of Stipe’s romantic relationship with Natalie Merchant made it even more poignant.
