This. People paying to be the product.

So, basically a slightly gussied up Android TV box with a bad vpn and firewall, IPTV software, Kodi implementation, and a super high price point. Probably with a backend kludge YouTube cloud for uploads, and the current Parler, Gab, Telegraph, etc apps, and yet another barely workable version of Mike Lindell’s Freeze P…

I was just forced into switching over and it’s been a week long train wreck. I’m not sure if Surfshark is conflicting, but it’s now not connecting, the damned app doesn’t see the folder for the computer it’s running on, and it looks to me as though even set to streaming, all of the files are actually on my hard…

Doctor Strange is a weird one — the first act alone happens over at least a year, probably more, as Strange recovers from the accident, fruitlessly searches for a fix (and has further surgeries), slides downhill, loses everything, and finally gets the first pointer sending him to Kamar Taj. I’d say it’s 2-3 years.

The actual inflection point might not be Hope — as Nat is going through the Avengers recruitment files we see a file for Janet van Dyne, who wouldn’t be in those dossiers — at that point she was presumed dead for decades, lost in the Quantum Realm.

Well, the merge is happening now, complete with faintly annoying steps. I’m a l8ttke baffled by my final count, though, as I went from 1001 to 1005, and as far as I know I only had one non-MA film on FandangoNow. Unless the system is counting the three MA-connected films as new additions (which is still a wrong count,…

I wonder who at Big Finish is close buddies with Clarke? This sure as hell sounds like Clarke got the result he wanted, so I wonder who’s next on his hit parade?

Carl’s either the Guardian Of Forever, or an Organian. He could be a Q, but he’s not enough of an asshole by far, though he could be a kinder, gentler Q testing Georgiou’s development.

They may have done this because the Harlan Ellison estate might have gotten pissy about it. I know Ellison had gotten the lawyers alerted any time there was even a hint that NuTrek would revive the Guardian.

As a fellow old you ought to know that Friedkin’s film was a lesser adaptation of the very grimy French film Wages Of Fear and that the visual references are in part a reference to that, including the bridge. It follows then that the Imperial Remnant here is also a French reference, to the Foreign Legion, as well as…

There was a Ferengi in the second episode.

No Superman at all aside from BvS.

I keep telling people...this beast is going to run WarnerMedia $50 million and possibly more. They already tried cutting costs by banning reshoots...and, frankly, they have to happen or this project will be full of unpatched holes.

Man, this fell off the rails in a hurry. Alison Pill and Michelle Hurd were fantastic, though.

Apparently you have no idea who Michael Chabon is.

We must agree, Zack, to disagree here. However:

What an odd accusation to raise against Michael Chabon. I’d wager he’s read more and better books than you have.

I’m surprised neither Zack nor anyone else seems to have landed on this idea. As soon as Clancy seemed to acquiesce to Picard, and Picard got so naively happy it seemed like a gimme that anyone being sent to DS12 was there to arrest the Motley Crew or blow them from the sky.

“It turns out that the Zhat Vash stumbled on the complete Battlestar Galactica box set.”

Enjoy.
