Ed will be known as the Tiger Woods of the integration business, followed closely with the renaming of his company to "Hotties A/V". The tag line will be "We like big racks and tight holes"...

My wife and kids drove through the area while they were shooting the river scenes. It was on the smith river along the Oregon/California border near the coast.

We watched the show and it was a bit odd as to what was happening
There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

Man in the high castle was okay but got better in season 2.

I haven't seen that one yet, but have heard it was good from several people, including you :-)


My favorite scifi show on right now is The Expanse. After finishing the last season i started watching it again. This time i make sure im at home in the family room with surround sound...loud. I cant get enough of it. It feels like what real space travel would be.

The Expanse is one of my favorite shows, period, sci-fi or not. Well worth a re-watch. There are so many little things going on that are hard to catch with one pass.


I watched Nightflyers. Scifi series created by the Game Of Thrones author. It wasn't that great.

I was highly disappointed with Nightflyers. I wish I could get that time back :-)

I’ve concluded that Netflix is doing a horrible job promoting their content. Their “cover art” and descriptions don’t do justice in conveying what the shows are about.
Civil War reenactment is LARPing for people with no imagination.

Started watching Altered Carbon on Netflix recently. VERY good Scifi.

The OA is interesting, but it didnt hold my attention so I never finished it. need to go back.

I binged the f(*& out of Dark Matters... Loved that show. So pissed we're left hanging ike that now though. Still.. Worth the watch.

The whole premise makes me want to push "next".

Was there an explanation? All i saw was pencil drawings and the wikipedia educated grocery store managers vague ramblings.

I just watched Bright. Someone explain to me wtf I just watched. It’s like they filmed some D&D geek’s wet dream.

I think the concept is cool. What if all the magic/fairy tails were real and continued to exist into modern times. Bright was an "End of Watch" meets "Lord of the Rings" mashup.

The movie IMO was just okay...especially since they spent $90 million making it. That wasn't a typo. $90 million....and....They have a green light for part 2. New director this time.

I’m not saying I didn’t like it. It was an interesting concept. I think it would work better as a series than a movie. Sort of like Once Upon a Time kicked up a level. (I watched Once Upon a Time with my girls). A series would allow to explain the world more.

I think it had good tone and good production values.

But, there's essentially NO story and NO actual explanation of what's happening. They just float a few wild ideas and show you various disconnected things happening that aren't answered by any one of those ideas. And no, I don't think leaving absolutely everything vague is artsy or "designed to make you think"; it's just poor writing.

It's basically like the pilot episode of a TV show: all questions, no answers.
