Anathem is still the best thing he's ever written, Reamde is still the worst thing he's ever written.

Seveneves is a good book, a boring but mercifully short interlude, and a bad book (in that order), so I guess it is exactly in the middle.

could only do really specific things because hiv only infects immune cells. rabies targets neurons. adeno-associated viruses and filoviruses have broader applications.

So far the major complaint about this is "it spoiled the movie"

like if you thought the film would go any other way than "Batman & Superman have a beef, fight a little, team up to stop something from Lex Luthor", you're a dumbass

how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
remember the part in Jessica Jones where she's like "they say everyone is born a hero" like wtf. nobody's ever said that. what poo poo writing.

I still enjoyed it more or less, Krysten Ritter wasn't a good Jess and the plot holes were ragged and large. but Hellcat and Cage were good and they really got me to pull a 180 on the creepy twins. I felt so much pity for Robyn even though I also wanted someone to knock her loving block off

it lost traction after episode 3 where they spent the first half of the episode explaining that they needed reliable witnesses and video evidence to help with hopes defense and then at the end of the episode when they had both they forgot what they were doing.

Deep down Jessica loves killgrave which is why she is incapable of doing anything to harm him up until the very end when she kills him for hitting on her best friend. its a bad show.
