Speaking of The Orville, season 3 is to be released in june.

It might be better than STD / Picard if the episodes aren't overarching, simply because a stupid plot will be over at once and not be drawn out over the whole season. However, I still don't have any hopes at all.

It's made by the same writers, so basically it's guaranteed to be garbage.

How could anyone actually think the Ghost of Kyiv was real. Right on first day there were screenshots of how he was created on facebook or something. It was just a guy who wanted to sell t-shirts if I remember right. /Edit: It was also the time where many people on the social media sites were like "we're just going to make **** up, because positive propaganda is good and helps the cause!" ... people who spoke against it got downvoted to hell. Of course a lot of this stuff was later used by the russian side as proof for western lies, etc. etc.

First time I'm hearing about this.

The point from Lexx about Raylan was that he liked the show because it shows Raylan shooting other people actually causes others around him to react to it and not just calling it a thuesday. The Rookie is a tv show in which the same 6 police officers heroically prevent crime every 5 minutes, which makes it feel like propaganda.

I'm not saying Justified is more "real" - it was referring more to the character of Raylan within the show. If I remember right, he is the only (or one of the only ones?) in the marshal service group who has killed someone.

This is what I like about Justified, by the way. The show looks like Raylan would constantly shoot people, but his actual body count is pretty low compared to other police shows. Also, whenever he actually shot someone, it had serious consequences with internal investigation and so on.

Yeah, I was thinking about that as well. But it's still such a crass dissonance. The tv show kinda presents a perfect world police where everyone is an expert and it's just so weird if you compare that to the stuff we constantly hear about. Maybe I should give The Shield a re-watch, for a taste of the other side of it.

I recently started watching The Rookie with Nathan Fillion. At first I thought it's actually pretty nice and even binged a couple episodes. But at around half of season 1, I suddenly started to realize that ... it is kinda meh. First there is always something big going on in every episode. Even when a woman cop goes to the hospital for a blood test, because she got accidentally stung with a heroin needle (of course), she goes to the bathroom and right away stumbles over a visitor trying to kill a patient. Like, there was no reason at all for this scene to exist, but here we are. It's like there can't be 10 minutes in the show without a police officer preventing some crime. However, what's the most wild about all of this is that ... they shoot so few people. Instead of just gunning criminals down, they run & tackle even criminals with a knife. This is probably what kills the show the most for me, especially since we have stories like this coming out of america pretty much every week. tl;dr - feels like a weakly written propaganda piece. No idea if I can keep watching that.

That would have been better writing than what they actually did with the Borg.

Can't wait for the RLM review.

Well, it's playable since a few years now. Is it well playable? That's a different thing.

I've read that some Sims 4 stuff was banned in russia because it has the gay in it. Maybe they are making this guy look gay? Could also explain the weird green wig.

I thought the gas is already flowing again.

I'm still waiting for RLM to talk about it. Maybe they are waiting for the final episode?

Not exactly sure if this is funny or sad, tho.

Interesting, related tweet from 5 days ago:

For what it's worth, I'm glad that Macron has won, however, it's way, way too close for my liking. Almost the half of france doesn't seem to have issues with having a right wing, russian pupped as their fuhrer.

Meh, I don't agree. IF ukraine can get access back to the oil fields and the offshore stuff (crimea), we will likely pump lots of money into the country to get access to those resources for cheap prices.

I mean, germans are pretty much anti-war for the majority of the past 70 years. Every time a politician wanted to get into a war, it caused a major ****storm in the whole country. Most of what we have military-wise is intended for defense, and even in this area we are lacking a lot due to corruption and incompetence. Considering this, I don't think it's surprising that germany doesn't really have the military capacities.

I've read the issue with germany and sending heavy weapons is that ... we simply don't have any to spare. If we send our guns to ukraine, our military won't have any guns anymore for years(!) to come, which basically means that whole units will have to be disbanded, unless we keep training them like north korea - with imaginative weapons. The weapon / vehicle factories are also booked out for the next 10 or what years. It's simply impossible to produce more, faster right now.

I think it's cheaper to kill them like that. Also no need to show gore, etc. which gives a better age rating. Basically the bad guy just disappears and it's done.

I've heard there are already 5 high profile gazprom guys who, uh, did the suicide. Coincidence indeed. Just wondering if this really is a Putin purge like some assume, or if some other intelligence agencies are involved. Guess we will never really find out.
