A neurotic fashion blogger has an embarrassing problem in Snotgirl, a comic series written by Bryan Lee O’Malley and pencilled by Leslie Hung. I finished reading the first two volumes yesterday, all together collecting issues one to ten, and found the series enjoyable though not quite as good as I hoped.
Well, I asked The Orville to flesh out Kelly a bit more and the show delivered last night with not one but two Kellys. “To-morrow, and To-morrow, and To-morrow”, written by Janet Lin, also showed, once again, The Orville is at its best when it focuses on relationships.
IEEE Spectrum - a publication of the professional society Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers - published a version of Gregory Travis’ excellent blog article on the Boeing 737 MAX 8 MCAS debacle. Travis has spent decades both as a private pilot and a software engineer and has an informed perspective on…
Valley of the Dragons will be the Svengoolie movie this Saturday night on Me-TV.
Poor Aeryn and Pilot suffer some terrible abuse in one of the best episodes of Farscape’s first season. One of the more effective showcases for the Jim Henson company’s puppetry, it’s also an effective bit of body horror while adding another painful layer to the characters’ various troubles finding a place in any kind…
Into the Shadowrealm!!!! We go. Welcome to Cloak & Dagger season 2 episode 4 “Rabbit Hold” spoilerific reaction thread, where you can share your thoughts on the show as it plays out or after it’s over.
Here we are again at the end once more. As noted earlier in the season the show has been renewed so we’ll be back. But who is going to die tonight!? Welcome to the Magicians season 4 episode 13 “The Seam” spoilerific reaction thread, where you can react to the show as it’s playing out or after it’s…
Hello all and welcome to WednesdayBookClub. My name is GeeseJuggler and.....I’m completely wiped. I’ve been writing different projects this week and I don’t have words. Let’s get started!!
With episode #68, Game of Thrones opens its eighth, final, season. Constraining a season’s worth of production and post-production into a year’s worth of time was not possible for this season, meaning that HBO had no Game of Thrones last year to make money off of. But now they have six episodes left to show (until the…
I looked at the news around the time I awoke at 4am yesterday and then not again until late in the afternoon. During that time, one of the things I was doing was reading Dracula again, and, has it often does when I re-read that book, the incredible amount of death impressed me. There’s so much of it that’s typically…
Confession time: This is actually the movie I was the most excited to watch. Does that make me a bit of a masochist? Of course, I’m a Star Wars fan.
Since I doubt you’ll hear anything about it on the main site. This tweet from Neil Gaiman says more than I ever could.
Haven’t had a chance to listen yet, but a trailer on tv last night looked/sounded interesting. Doctor Who’s Pearl Mackie is back, this time in an innovative science fiction thriller from BBC Radio 4 - Forest 404. This is an ambitious 27-part podcast series with theme music by Bonobo. The series is accompanied by a…
The Eighth Doctor’s first independent audio series concluded in 2007 with the two part story Human Resources. What starts as a fairly amusing homage to The Office turns halfway through into a pretty effective encounter with one of the Doctor’s classic foes.
Yeah, yeah, I know there are no more book spoilers to be had. But even if things are to come out differently than GRRM intends*, who’s to say there won’t be callbacks to stuff that was cut from the books? In any case if you’ve read the books, you can speak freely here.
I liked the new Star Wars teaser. Looks like they’re definitely walking very briskly away from the “Kill the past” meme. The name Skywalker is even in the title. But is it Rey? Maybe the idea will be that a “Skywalker” isn’t a hereditary name but something conferred on off-spring of the midichlorians? Probably not,…
Disney and Marvel have stated that, now that they have the rights to the X-Men back, they won’t be making a X-Men film for at least four to five years. This makes sense – they have their own slate of films in production and pre-production right now, including Black Widow, The Eternals, Shang-Chi, and sequels to Black…
OK, the topic for this week’s GIF Party seemed predetermined...
