Star Trek: Section 31 uses an excellent cast of fun characters and impeccable visual aesthetics to bravely ask: what if Katniss and Peeta had to compete for replacing President Snow and also had a universe destroying bomb???
Is it good? Weeeeell…
Do I want another one? Yes.
I’m nine episodes into Twelve Monkeys, and it’s so weird… Because it feels like… watching the half of Dark that would be left if you subtracted Fringe?
(In Twelve Monkeys, Cole is Jonas; Katarina is Claudia. Whereas in Fringe, Walter is Tannhaus; Nina is Claudia.)
I started work on my third “Chronicles of Tri-Galactic Trek” this week, focusing on the arctic fox android. Last night, I made cover art for it. Then this afternoon, I sketched out vague plans for 12 more sequels, each focusing on a different character. Should be fun to write!
I did not expect trying to learn Danish on Duolingo to become my new favorite game.
Just Star Trek DS9 out here predicting how comforting and healing talking to an AI can be with Vic Fontaine in “It’s Only a Paper Moon” a quarter of a century ago.
I always did love Vic Fontaine.
I’ve started watching some Danish shows to supplement the Duolingo in preparation for my trip to Copenhagen — The Rain with my kid who loves horror and Borgen with my spouse — and I’m realizing…
…part of why I loved Dark so very, very much was that it stretched my brain with reminding me of the German I learned way back in high school.
Thought I emailed to myself at 4:41am…
“Richard Linklater should make a movie set on the day of a solar eclipse and call it Before Totality”
(Clearly, this would be a fifth movie, following the obvious fourth movie, “Before Midday,” which he should also make.)
