You guys should watch The Expanse. It's very, very good, especially if you're a no noise in space kinda sperg like me.

P.S. I just watched TNG's The Inner Light and I'm depressed IRL now.

This is a very good recommendation, the first couple episodes started a bit slow, but by the end of the first season it's gone full bugfuck awesome.

Handmaids Tale is pretty good but lol at everyone wearing Handmaids Tale stuff to protests. The woman who played Poussey was really good & so were Elisabeth Moss and Yvonne Strahovski.

Yeah I know what Ops is and how its calculated, but its not like you can explain it like BA which is just "how many hits per *** appearances" Its basically just "closer to 1 is gooder I guess?"

Slash in a nutshell: plate appearances is every time a batter goes to the plate. At bats is player appearances minus walks and hit by pitch and sacrifices

Batting average is hits per at bat. On base percentage is times reaching base per plate appearances. Slugging is bases per at bat

Slash is displayed as ba/obp/slug

And now I'll stop cause no one here cares

Yeah it took me a while to get into Breaking Bad. Kinda slow start then got to be just downright uncomfortable a few times and I just didn't really feel like going back for more. Glad I did though. It really ended up being something.

Walter White's metamorphosis from suburban high school teacher and dad into an amoral monster is one of the best things I've ever seen in any media.

Saw homecoming last night. It was good. Maybe I was expecting too much because it's getting such good reviews but I thought I was going to love it but it was it was kind of just a good movie. Funny in parts but nothing really new besides the actor.

Wish I would have seen WW instead.

WW was fun. It's a good action flick and I think it does a great job setting up femininity as a distinct source of strength and perspective for WW. When I watched it, there were big groups of women in the theater, all of whom left with smiles on their faces. The people (MRAs and the Tumblr set) who didn't like how WW was handled were never going to be happy under any circumstances.

You should know though that the ending goes off the rails a little bit. It's going to turn into a Dragonball Z episode out of loving nowhere.

Just a warning in case your daughters are small: theres a sequence where they're wading through WWI trench warfare and while it's not actually as horrific as the real thing, it's not appropriate for small kids. The film has a lot of violence and death in general.

It's PG13 so I mean it's rated as such

Leperflesh
May 17, 2007

Yeah but ratings are often total garbage. At least for me, they tend to be much more stringent about sex than about violence, which is the exact opposite of what it should be. I only said anything at all because I think a lot of parents make the reasonable assumption that a wonder woman movie is gonna be a kids' movie, and it really isn't a kids' movie. Teenagers, sure. But when we went to see it, there was a mom with like a seven year old girl and I think they left after the scene where the nazis gas the village where all the happy people were the night before and they're all now loving dead

Yeah like I said it wasn't bad...but I didn't enjoy it as much as a lot of people apparently. It was pretty funny.

It did make Michael Keaton look like a bad rear end so that was cool.

I like that they didn't try to tell the origin story again. We all know how Spider-Man got started at this point.

Also, seeing him as a high school kid again works really well.
