Star Jerry O’Connell remained in the cast for all seven seasons of Sliders, in another timeline where it is the best franchise in the history of sci-fi.

I won’t pretend Sliders can hit among the real heavyweights, especially after season 3, but I think it could have. I know we’re all sick of remakes, but if there’s any show that deserves a second chance, it’s Sliders.

“It is never enough.”

Correct, you betrayed the people to such a degree that it cannot be forgotten or made up for by any means. Kindly fuck off and wither in obscurity.

Ever tried to make a hotdog-shaped hamburger because you didn’t have the right bun? Don’t.

Guess I’m never getting the anthology series I’ve asked for all these years. (Short Treks doesn’t count, but it does prove my point.)

I haven’t seen it myself yet, but I hear Station Eleven is about a traveling acting troupe 20 years or so after a pandemic-type apocalypse?

Something in sleepytime tea hits me almost like a good indica. I think it’s the valerian root, because regular chamomile tea doesn’t do it.

It’s actually based on a Native American dish called Wasupdok.

“Do you expect me to talk?”

“No, Mr. Bond. I expect you to draw four.”

I haven’t seen the movie yet, but in a similar vein I watched Twisted Metal recently, and it’s… actually good, somehow? Much better than it would have been following any of the games’ stories, or even a mash-up of them.

They’ve clearly used the games for humor, visuals, characters, and Easter eggs for the fans, but they somehow made something better than the sum of it’s parts, and it should be looked at as a great example for other adaptations, especially action comedies.

Critters is a solid franchise and until now, released normally structured and not ridiculous content.

There’s no way you typed this with a straight face.

Will you guys just admit you wanna get railed by white Jesus? It’s fine. He’s a very attractive if historically inaccurate man.

While you were dinner partying, I studied the ladle.

This is the face of a man who’s about to celebrate a job well done with a snake meat sandwich.

Yes, you can’t really appreciate Riker growing the beard until you’ve put up with a season of baby face.

In 1942, Alan Turing proved that buildings were arrays via maths, so all Brits had to start 0-indexing them by crown law.
