I generally hate all keycaps. Keycaps are for poofs. Real men touchtype on stems. Non-functional artisans are awesome, I use them for the ESC key ... escape is for cowards anyways, real men go frontal assault.

Started watching The Good Wife because I wanted something that there were loads of episodes of that's sort of undemanding. It's not great by any means but fulfills its function.

Halt & Catch Fire is back and brilliant as ever. Two week wait between episode 3 and 4 is making me itch. Mad Men is my favourite show of all time and while this isn't quite as good it compliments things quite well focussing more of the business and female characters instead of male antihero formula. Plus with all the old computers, keyboards and sets It's something any geekhack user would enjoy.

Still have an episode or two left of Preacher. It's consistently decent but I'm finding it hard to get that excited about.

My memory of Enterprise is it started off a little hackneyed, repeating well worn star trek episodic stories. It had started to really find its legs by the time they cancelled it so it was kind of a shame. The new Star Trek series is probably going to be a mess so might as well go with Enterprise if you want some 'new' trek. Thought they did a great job with the sets, uniforms and general style of the thing make it less daytime network TV looking, cept Bakula or whatever his name is who overdoes the schmaltzy, gee golly gosh business. Spaceship captains shouldn't be down to earth!

My favourite spaceship book recently Children of Time got optioned for film so that's one to keep an eye on. That said the book is huge, takes place over hundreds of years and half of it is from the perspective of characters that can't talk  so whatever they come up with will hardly translate very directly.

Looking back through thread lol at ppl saying Mr. Robot is cerebral. It's the cheesiest thing ever I don't know how I got through a season and a half of it.

I don't have the time to watch anything since quite a while yet... Halt and Catch this I take the time to watch. I love it. My gf loves it. It's an amazing way to relive the eighties and nineties and it's all based on true stories. Season 4 is going to be the last one: I'm enjoying it while it lasts.

Watching Midnight Texas.  I think there are only 3 episodes left.  Not bad but after watching Game of Thrones you can tell there is a budget in place.

Viewership #'s are down so who knows if cancelled.  Either way I plan on picking up the books after the finale.

Recently gave in and 'discovered' H3H3, Filthy Frank, and idubbbz so I've been binge watching all those channels for like almost two weeks now. There's a lot of content to get through. I'd watched George before a bunch, but never really went through all his videos/channels.

Enterprise.. honestly,   if trekies didn't take being a social-outcast so seriously,  they would see that the show has much greater mainstream appeal than all the previous shows..  This is important , because that pays the bills for all them space-ship shots..


Tpol, is a great vulkan, with very expressive eyes.


And we've only gotten to really know male vulcans until Tpol,   so perhaps, the vulcan females have somewhat more emotives than the standard,  I don't see why that's such a wrong direction to take the character..


Also,  count the number of ugly women in film and tv,   making her unattractive was not an actual option..

Technically not still watching it as of a few hrs ago, but I binged on the first season of Stranger Things this weekend, after having it recommended to me multiple times. I really liked it.

Ok this makes no sense..


If they want to destroy an enemy super weapon..

And it's been determined that this target is critical..


Why not just maximum warp,  and xplode all over it..   that makes the most sense,  and yet they're trying to come up with a weird suicide plan.. if it's suicide all the same..    Shouldn't a mass moving at warp speed easily be able to destroy a planet..

They should really take the parallel universe episode into consideration for future starfleet regulations


There should be 50% male and 50% female on board at all times..


Just in case there's a spatial anomaly causing the ships to travel back in time,   everyone will haz a partner..



Unless all starship occupants are tp4s,  in which case, i guess #ronery4ever starships would work ok.. hahahahahaha

She didn't gain a single pound for the entirety of trek-enterprise

didn't eat anything for 4 years basically..

I mean, that's dedication.

Narcos S03.

It's fun to see the cartel bosses having a meeting in a restaurant where I've had a work lunch.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.
