Powerful Slaughterhouse 5 vibes! This looks amazing. Can’t wait.

The best character in a show full of great characters. I’ll be sad when this is done.

I’m sorry but... HG Wells? It was Verne who wrote Journey to the Center of the Earth. I would have even accepted Arthur Conan Doyle, who gave us The Lost World.

I really enjoyed the first two seasons, despite all manner of hits and misses throughout. Looking forward to this.

Oh, thanks for that vampire crack, Kumail. Now I want you to guest on What We Do In The Shadows. Are you proud of yourself? :P

Sadly this is not based on anything by Jeff Vandermeer.

I have no idea what you’re saying but I want to buy some.

I’ve got no problem with this. Wonderful voice cast, some okay design work. Good stuff for kids. I just wish it hadn’t had to be tied to He-Man. Not out of some misplaced nostalgia nonsense, but because it has basically no connection other than a few random names and a kid who transforms into a muscle-man. It being a…

They’ve tried, but it kept hitting the invulnerable save.

I like the McDonald’s on Oklahoma that straddles the highway.

The problem here is with the BBC. The BBC inherently has zero interest in Doctor Who, but keeps doing it because it makes money. You’d think they would like money and the fact that they can license the show to other countries (like with HBO Max), but RTD wrote extensively in The Writer’s Tale about how he had to…

by murdering 90% of them in the first 2o minuets as is suicide squad tradition.

Season 2 worked a bit towards making the Klingons more like Klingons , rather than just Zealot Prune-Head Flesheaters..

I was going to point out that Discovery is still the best first season of any Trek series. Then I remembered that Lower Decks is a thing.

To be fair, Lorraine Williams didn’t drive TSR into the ground just by poorly implementing and promoting a Buck Rogers RPG.  There was also the massive loss of goodwill that came with threatening to sue people for talking about D&D and sharing their D&D homebrew online.  To the point that, when WotC bought them out…

Tough competition this week, but Joke of the Episode has to go to Dr T’Ana’s freakout over the crew of the Ohambra.

Besides which, if they’re planning for a worldwide release, the word “crusade” is going to upset people throughout the Islamic world just as much as “jihad” might upset Americans.  It still has bad connotations there.

Nice catch!

I assume, then, that you never read the book?

In my own headcanon, the show is not really just about the characters, but the the town as a whole. So while characters may come and go, it’s the universe we’re really exploring all along.
