For the Doctor Who fans.. While for the Breaking Bad ones.. Oh, and Ros, yup, that was a general push on current "yoof speak"

Well when it was put out first, it was battling against ..I think it was the Baseball (or one of the other big American sports) playoffs, and the first season of American Idol. That and Fox pretty much had put out no advertisement for it. It's like it was set up to be killed.

A little over-rated, yes. And absence makes the heart fonder. But there's so little decent sci-fi TV series (imo) to pick from, it always sucks when they cancel one of the good ones. Sci-fi shows rarely seem to find enough of an audience to stay on air for long. Sometimes, perhaps, because they can be more costly to make than yet another Law and Order or reality show. Sigh. Heh, Joss Whedon has gone on record saying that Firefly actually had a smaller budget then either Buffy or Angel, even the pilot's of both series, let alone later seasons. But there does seem to have been a lot of weird office politics going on at Fox on how they threw Firefly around and put it out without advertising or a regular slot.

Just watched through that Firefly 10th Anniversary Browncoat Reunion that got shot at last years SDComicCon. When you see the cast and writers just chatting back and forth with each other, you really get the feeling they're practically family, even 10 years after the show was cancelled.

Update #63: Stronghold!
Raithe replied to BAdler's topic in Pillars of Eternity: Announcements & News
From what's been said, everything about the stronghold is purely OPTIONAL. If you're only interested in the main story, you don't have to do anything related to the stronghold. So you get offered the chance for it, but it's not something that's demanded of you, and you can breeze past without worrying one bit about any of all of these features. If you do want to spend time exploring some of these sidelines, that's fine. If you do spend time, effort, and potential wealth you've gathered from your adventures on establishing a stronghold, you will get benefits. Both passive ones, and even more content that's available for you to explore and adventure with. But again, that's if you choose to do so. You don't have to. -
Seriously, no. If I'm not wearing my glasses and you're more then about a foot and a half away from me, I wouldn't be able to recognise you. You'd basically be a [insert appropriate skin colour] blobby head on a body. Dealing with somewhat steamed up glasses and scatter of water across them is something a lot easier to deal with then complete lack of sight.

Hey, to be fair, I wear my glasses in the shower. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to tell what's showergell, what's shampoo and what's something else..

Heh, for that random interest.. Everything Wrong with America in one single graphic...

The weather has definitely turned past summer here. No sunlight, lots of greyness, and its pretty much been pissing it down with rain all day. Also noted I hadn't had anything to eat today. So I went in the kebab shop and picked up a super burger. Which is a rather delightful, if incredibly unhealthy, but tastey collection of just over 3/4 pounds of cooked meat, slathered in assorted sauces, slices of cheese and fresh salad between some oven-toasted baps..

Hm, well the whole future-flash of "Walt buying the M60 and returning home" happens after he turns 52.. So since Hank found the book when Walt was turning 51, only a little time has gone by. There's going to be some gap of almost a year happening.

A chemistry friend of mine always said he got best results with a piece of cheese and a box on a stick with string. Or using the line "does this cloth smell of chloroform to you?" He even says that's how he got the lady he ended up marrying. Hm. Realised I've gone through the day without actually checking my email. On the one hand, that's a good sign of not being net-addicted, on the other it could mean I missed anything related to serious work...
-
Well, as I said, its a pretty faithful adaption of the style of the book.

Well, not so much weird but still.. BBC News - Voyager Prove 'leaves the solar system'

Had an early morning doctors appointment. The wheels of the NHS grind steadily..but slowly. It took three weeks from attempting to book it for there to be a slot open. Of course, then I had to set the alarm for earlier then normal and went to bed thinking to myself "you have to get up early" - so I found myself waking up on the hour, every hour from 3am onwards. Then after the GP listens and pokes, she decides she wants me to have an ecg and fasting blood test, so I go to the nurses station to book that..and get told it'll take two weeks before I can have that appointment.

There was a reason I said "If you like those slightly kooky supernatural tinged thrillers." I've actually read the book it's based on this week, and I have to say they actually did use a lot of the dialogue from the book, not just the usual Hollywood adaptive screenplay. Sure, some of the lines were shifted in scenes to suit a movie rather then a book, but they were still pretty much as is. And that "character talking to the audience" is how the books are written.

For the slight difference in this thread..

I have to say, I think Benedict did Khan well as he was written. It's just that the character as written for ST Into Darkness is purely that solo "genius" figure, and not the sweepingly charismatic one that could persuade people to follow him and inspire loyalty. On one hand, it makes sense becase as LadyC says, it's the embittered Khan trying to get his crew back rather then the leader with a crew and casually capable of turning his enemies to his side. In Wrath of Khan, he was embittered, but he had a single focus (Kirk) and he still had crew and family that helped stabilise him a bit - at least until Kirk really started punching his buttons. In Into Darkness, he's alone, he's been alone for a long time, and he actually thought the Federation had killed his crew earlier.

Indeed. Well, it's Odette Annable, and she did voice Amata. -
Hm, managed to carve out some time to run through my first Bounty mission. Spend a fair bit of time running around shady characters before I finally managed to get four of them to talk. I think I ended up interrogating about 27 shady characters to get those four successes.
