If you ride a bike across South Korea and collect 30 stamps from different stations across the country, the give you a medal. My friend is currently attempting the challenge and is streaming the entire thing:
I think itâs pretty neat.
An interview with Otomo.
Scott gave a really nice toast to his brother at the wedding this weekend.
Some of you watched it live, but I mastered the audio and cleaned it up (as best I could considering cellcam in dark room):
So thatâs Scott without the cynical GeekNights persona.
Interestingly, a historian may have found evidence of a two-century old encounter between Samurai and Australian Pirates that had previously been dismissed as a fabrication.
Best pull:
When the ship did not raise its anchor, a cannon fired on the ship like a âthunder clap ⌠followed by an eerie screeching noise as the old deeply pitted ball flew between the two masts of the barbarian shipâ.
âIrritatingly, without sign of haste or panic, the crew leisurely spread one sail,â Hamaguchi said.
My thing of the day can be summized by two songs:
2 hour video talking about where Sherlock fails as a TV series:
(I know, TECHNICALLY speeders arenât space ships because theyâre not capable traveling outside a planetâs atmosphere).
I donât need a 2 hour video to tell me a garbage show is garbage.
All I needed was an episode or two of bad writing with good actors doing what they can with a bad script.
I used to be WAY into Sherlock when the first couple seasons came out. I tried to revisit them when I saw the 4th season was on Netflix, and ah man was that rough! I am no longer 18, and now know better. Also Hannibal hits on enough of the same notes, but is so much better of a show that I found myself just wanting to rewatch that instead.
Same, except I havenât revisited it yet and am kind of afraid to.
I have a rule that if people talk about the fandom more than the show I donât watch the show, and that ruled out Sherlock immediately.
I would just keep your fond memories, thatâs what I refer to as the Water World solution: as long a I never revisit it, it will always be as rad as I thought bit was when I was 8.
Good olâ Hbomberguy providing that video essay deliciousness. I never saw Sherlock but I think the video is good to anyone curious about how it was a huge phenomenon during Season 1/2, on shaky, divisive ground in Season 3, and completely fudged up in Season 4. Weâre talking fanfiction levels of ass-pulled backstory and tragedy around there. Moffat is a strange dude.
I really enjoyed the first episode of Sherlock, but then the second episode broke what I liked about the first episode, then Iâm not sure if we ever got to the end of season 1, which was one more episode.
Anyway, Iâm now certainly not going to watch 2 hours of why it failed for other people
