  1. I was pretty skeptical when I saw promotion for this show, as I really dislike when shows try to be "topical and relevant" by being "this time, the while male is to blame!" (part of why STD bugs me so much) but the writing and the scenario just seems very believable and plausible, and I really like that, like in the original source material, there really isn't a good side here; look at Red Scare. It's a realistic scenario where you see violence leads to violence leads to violence and the only outcome seems to be more violence in the future. The only thing everyone can agree on is that Jeremy Irons is creepy and gross. My only real issue would be the soundtrack, it's good, but it seems weirdly out of place. Watchmen has a sort of weird retrofuturistic vibe to me and the music does seem to be on the side of too futuristic, or the score does anyway. The licensed music works fine, really appreciate "Unforgettable" coming back, that was probably one of the best scenes from the film so good to call back to it. I do really like the score, it reminds me a lot of the score for The Social Network for obvious reasons, but I feel like it will be much better listening on it's own whereas it very much fit the vibe of the story in TSN. So far so good and I am aboard.
  2. I've only seen commercials butI I assumed that was fairly obvious who he was.
  3. Mike Shanahan isn't going to get shit and any lawyer who told him otherwise is a crook.
  4. That tweet seems like the pretext for political revolution.
  5. Star Trek generally has shitty early seasons. Discovery was a welcome change in that regard in the sense that it seemed to have a lot of pieces and ideas functioning relatively early.
  6. Officially, but internally he retired after the third inning.
  7. I watched them both last night. Neither of them made me want to watch the respective shows but it did make me want to watch a spin off where Riker is a chef and makes various alien dishes for familiar guests.
  8. New trailers for Picard and Disco3 are out and my work computers don't have speakers, I need you guys to tell me what to think of them.
  9. There are no easy games for Calgary since Calgary doesn't get to play Calgary at all.
  10. I mean, this is the nature of journalism now. It's going one of three ways. Firstly is this way, where everything is about algorithms and influencers, getting metrics and social currency, with the actual content created by robots and simply designed to push site views for ad revenue. The second is heavy handed, agenda driven propaganda designed to spread commercials as journalism, and meant to play up emotions and biases to generate those some social currencies. The third form of journalism we see all the time with Lineker and I think we can all agree that's the worst kind of the three.
  11. hell a few more losses they might try playing him
  12. Man I need The Bears to score plenty tomorrow, I need 20 points from Allen Robinson.
  13. Sad news, guy did a lot with what was originally a very limited and limiting role.
  14. yet kap is still blackballed
  15. Okay guys it was weird enough with the teams swapping goalies and overpaid power forwards but whose bright idea was this?
  16. The Oilers new uniforms are so, so bad. It's like someone looked at their current uniforms and said "Listen, guys, the salary cap keeps going up. Is there anyway we can have a uniform with LESS colors? No, it doesn't have to look good, just cheaper to make. Thanks guys."
  17. He should go to the CFL next year where he can be both a highly lauded on field player as well as a personality.
  18. NFL has a huge issue when you look at Josh Gordon against Ray rice. the solution to that isn't to make a bad call now to balance it out.
  19. Come on guys, Puck is way cooler than bouncy ball.
  20. pats have to cut him now right? or are they in too deep?
  21. the whole thing is kind of cute until you see gronk break the goose's neck so Brady can use it for blood doping and Bellichek plucks it to make socks
