All we have on that is the word of a character that has strong motivations to lie or see him as an exile. The Story Group has been dancing around that for years.

Killjoys in particular also feels a lot smaller because they don’t seem to have the budget for a ton of exterior shots. It’s amazing what they can do with service corridors these days, but it’s clear they can’t manage stuff like the outdoor scenes in New York.

Add to that, it seems like they’re more in a “make things…

Neither are as good as The Expanse, for me, but I definitely agree that they’re great.

None of them deserved their deaths, since none of them had enough screentime to do anything. I can see the joke the film was going for, but it wasn’t really worth the time it wasted, for me.

Nah, I didn’t care for it either. But that’s more because it dialed the already cartoony gore to extreme levels for an extremely pointless gag sequence, which I am never the target audience for.

It’s a scene that adds almost nothing to the movie, and one I’d be okay with never seeing again.

Bernard actually says it was a copy of someone else when he’s recalling the memory, so James is pretty much the one person we know it isn’t.

I’m pretty sure London still deals with it now and then too. Unexploded bombs don’t just go away on their own.

Yeah, that doesn’t really seem like something cons will be happy to see.

I don’t think the reason he’s struggling with the sixth book has anything to do with lack of modern software, that’s all. He may be just sticking to WordStar out of comfort and fear of change, but many writers are pretty plainspoken about needing exactly that kind of comfort in order to get their work done. I don’t…

I can totally understand that; I’ve never liked those types of interfaces either. But it’s hard to deny that for some people it really does work better.

A modern GUI based environment isn’t inherently the best way to compose long-form works of literature. Do you seriously think that interfering with his tools of choice would improve his ability to create? It’s like telling a painter which brushes to use. He’s written dozens of books this way; why would it now suddenly…

It seems possible that he’s running it on DOS because it’s easier to get a DOS machine running (or run it in emulation). But I don’t know much of anything about trying to run CP/M these days.

As far as someone saying they continued to use WordPerfect in 1998... that happened. A lot. There was a ton of resistance to…

I do want to jump in here and point out one thing: “modern” computers running MS Word are often substantially less capable of doing what some authors like. Ars has a great write-up on WordStar, and it’s entirely possible that Martin would work much, much slower with a modern machine. There are some good modern…

Trump even represented hope, and Hillary only represented fear.

Good ol’ mythical “silent majority”. Impossible to disprove, because the moment you speak up, you disqualify yourself!

Citing the “silent majority” is saying “A lot of totally real and not made up people agree with me.”

Terry Crews is a TV and film personality. It’s perfectly fit for the site that discusses TV and film.

They don’t just teleport around the city in Blues Brothers. The freeway ramp the Nazis fly off of was in Milwaukee.

Ohhh, got it. For some reason I was thinking about when they went to investigate the Anubis.

I was definitely annoyed by his not liking to be held publicly accountable, but the change in motivation and added uneasiness with holding rank definitely worked well. In the book he was a bit too comfortable with it already;…

I’m curious, because I can’t remember what they changed there: could you explain what changed about your opinion?

This is wonderful. Gold Star.
