pleasantly surprised by Starcraft 2

| July 28, 2010

II admit it: I wasn’t excited to get Starcraft 2.   Yes, I pre-ordered it because… I mean, it *is* Starcraft 2.  11 years in the making.  11 years?  Wow.  I mean, I remember playing networked SC in college, was college that long ago?  *checks*  Well, shit, I guess it was. But, I was feeling pre-underwhelmed.  [...]

DS9+17: 112: The Vortex

| July 26, 2010

In which we encounter a 3rd gamma quadrant species, which is also incredibly douchey, and saves us from having to interact with them again (or the writers having to write them again) by “knowing all about” DS9 and the wormhole & having no desire to interact with them. A brief recap: species 1: hunts sentients [...]

DS9+17: 111: The Nagus

| July 25, 2010

Wow, an episode all about Ferengi!  Talk about the most interesting thing ever.  Not! See what I did there?  I went back to the 90s with my verbiage, just like I’m doing with my sci-fi TV!    Wee. No, I didn’t laugh at that.  My jokes are so bad even I don’t laugh. Let’s run em [...]

book review: Battle Cry of Freedom

| July 25, 2010

Battle Cry of Freedom by: James McPherson So I finished this like a week ago but I’ve been putting of writing a review because a) I’m not sure what to say b) there’s too much to say and c) I don’t have the energy to try and say it all.  So this will be about [...]

DS9+17: 110: Move Along Home

| July 24, 2010

Wow, this episode was really annoying. Don’t you hate it when some alien race does something totally douchey that makes you fear for your life and think all your friends are dead?  But then they just get to walk away from it because it’s a new species and a misunderstanding and uh, you don’t have [...]

DS9+17: 109: The Passenger

| July 22, 2010

I guess I’d gotten so used to the idea of Quark as an almost-main cast member that I forgot he is (or was, at this point) a “bad guy”.  He was willing to hire some guys to hijack a ship… hijacking frequently leads to hostage situations and/or loss of life, I would think.  Also, Odo [...]

DS9+17: 108: Dax

| July 19, 2010

First off, I just wanted to say how amused I am that I am (bothering to) blogviewramble about a TV show almost 2 decades old.  I suppose it’s even more amusing (to me!  I don’t care what you do in your spare time.  Unless it’s sick and wrong then you should probably stop and turn [...]

DS9+17: 107: Q-Less

| July 18, 2010

Ahhh, the ubiquitous (at least as far as Star Trek goes) Q.  I don’t know if I’m shocked that they waited a whole seven episodes to bring him on, or shocked that they brought him on so early.  Maybe I’m not shocked in the least, and instead generally apathetic.  Yeah, that’s probably it. Jen mentioned [...]

DS9+17: Captive Pursuit

| July 16, 2010

I found this episode pretty good, as far as these stand-alone things go.  Although it did manage to vaguely plot-moving in that it contained the Federation/stations first contact with a Gamma quadrant species. The species happened to be one who breeds sentient beings to be hunted, and those beings apparently want to be hunted, and [...]

Walking Dead cast photo: Where’s Morgan?

| July 15, 2010

From CBR: The show is supposed to be the goriest thing ever, as far as TV shows go.  I’m not a big fan of gore at all, but the comic series is interesting enough to make me wonder about the TV version.  I mean, depressing, bleak, & macabre all seem to be in as far [...]
