This is worse than the time the raccoon got in the copier.
 
Would anyone like to go to the pants party?
 
There will be a mint julep waiting for you on the other side... Release your soul to me...
 
"This item does not ship to Canada."

Discrimination. Have Bezos killed.
 
When her husband was alive he had personal security. He passed years ago though and generally she goes without.

Again... I'm selfishly less worried about her in this context. Once she's here, she's safe. It's all us regular Joe's at the job that are the buffer between him and her that I'm concerned with.
Doesn't sound selfish to me.

If I was there, I would encourage stalker to show his love by going to the top of Empire State Building, it's a romantic site, he should stay there and wait until she shows up to see him.
And hope he stays there for weeks, experiencing excruciating hunger.
 
It's like watching a graphing calculator try to learn to tell a knock-knock joke.
 
Is Altered Carbon even worth watching this season? I've heard it was terribly dull. Which saddens me. The first season had that perfect combination of sci-fi madness and hardcore nudity that I look for in a show.
 
But then how do we get rid of the rampaging army of roos, moose, koalas and beavers? Plus... Well... The koalas spread STDs and we're already bracing for this coronavirus.
I had specified just one of each animal so they can’t reproduce. Still makes the protection unit 8 strong. That added to your martial arts skills and scary face have been deemed sufficient to take out this target. The koala is half skunk so one direct facially-focused-fart (FFF bomb) will chloroform this bastard without the need for too much commotion for your building’s other guests.

Well...

I so ****ing loved the first season but I am stuck trying to get past episode 4 on this one.
And it's for a few reasons:

1. I'm sorry but... I think that not only is Mackie not right for the part but I don't think the show runners and episode directors gave him the right take on the character. I kinda was hoping for him to bring the swagger he has as Sam Wilson to the role. Sam is severly underwritten so far in the MCU and Mackie I think for sure decided to fill that deficit with just swagger and it works quite bit to offset the writing for Falcon. On AC Mackie is so far to me really dull in the part. Kinnaman was for sure doing the whole jaded cynic thing in season one but he was also wryly humorous and you could feel his inner tension as he was on the razor's edge of total nihilism. Mackie is just doing (so far for me...) Stoic Badass #375.

2. This season takes place decades later on a whole other world... But everything looks the same as the previous season. Yes... I get that visual continuity in genre work is important but for real... This isn't a trip to another town in the same country in the sam era. It's a long time since we last saw Tak and it's taking place out in space on another colonized planet. But nothing is distinctive. Nothing pops. Nothing says or makes one feel "This is a whole other environment from the previous season." It's a missed opportunity.

3. At least four eps in and it's playing like a more boring and slower paced version of the first season. Maybe the first was more engaging because it's all new and as a viewer you're getting the lay of the land so it's all fresh. This time out there seems little new on the table outside of maybe including some more about the Elder Civilization but even then that's more back drop to the first four eps I've seen.

Point blank... It's so far a rather big letdown compared to the first season, in my opinion.

I mean, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom ended with only a handful of dinosaurs escaping into the wild, and they were all different species. And yet apparently that's going to lead to them taking over the world. Life finds a way.... Somehow. Frog DNA.

These are superior specimens. They would have found a way to reproduce without life. Them taking over the world is of course a fair price for taking out Krypton’s stalker.
 
When you're right, you're right.

This all feels like one of those situations where a time traveler from the future comes back to convince you not to go through with this.


What I'm saying is... I might be the Edith Keeler of the Hype.

So, is Reek the drug-addled McCoy screaming about assassins?

When you see this moose’s face you understand why you need to ignore the advice of, heftily slap and forcibly detain this heretic time traveller. You will willingly allow this dark future to play out and you will fall hard for this moose.
