I must admit that I liked series 2 to 4 where the Blackadder character was blessed with intelligence and a cutting wit but not luck. Series 1 - just does not work for me. It is interesting to note that one of the co-writers for the first series stopped writing to be replaced by Ben Elton from...

I don't think that I would want Dollhouse returned. The two seasons and the graphic novel covers the story fairly completely. It is a morality tale about the misuse of technology. I watch and read Dollhouse content every 3 to 4 years. Perhaps we should have another thread that asks which...

Not sure but there are 9 books plus short stories. I read somewhere that the 6th season was inspired by book number 6 and the short story "Strange Dogs". I don't really want to read the plot of the 9th book since I have only read the 1st novel, so far. Having said that there are articles...

Can I be paranoid as well? :) What if rather than a per game basis they did it on a per account basis? 1$ per month might seem ok to some people. Or even worse on a value basis though this is fraught with difficulty. I haven't been following the finances of the streamers but I remember...

"Rebel Moon - Part 1" I think that I agree with DXCHASE in that the pacing was a bit off - perhaps too fast. Also I never got to the bit were you care about what happens to the "good guys". Has a touch of "The Magnificent Seven" about it. I will probably watch Part 2 but at the moment it's...

Witcher 3 - I did play it for a while but I got to the "hanging scene" and after several attempts thought f*** this. Keep telling myself to restart but somehow it never happens. Norco is another. Did play for a while but probably required me to be a little more alert than I am at night time...

I remember playing this on Steam about 3 years ago. Took nearly 8 hours. Required a good eye, some logic and at times a bit of perseverance. You know that the solution must exist. Reminds me why I liked Maths back in the days I went to school.

Finished watching this 3 or 4 days ago. More or less agree with your comments. I did find episode 4 a bit strange - not in that what was in it, but they seem to want to tell you everything about Erin's past all at once rather than drip feeding it. A strong theme of what would you do for your...

Not even if the story is intriguing or funny or just damn weird?

It's tempting to take offense about the "many don't understand or care" but then I would be guilty of taking the worm-eye view. Making changes and/ or solving problems always costs in terms of time (laws don't change overnight), money, training and the cost of what else does not get done. The...

In single player mode - no - it's your game and time. One caveat is that you are honest in your discussions with other gamers and don't make out that you are better than you really are. Me sometimes I cheat shamelessly other times not at all. For multiplayer games - don't play them so don't...

The problem we have in society is that we all tend to have a "worm-eye" view of possible changes. We see only the benefits to ourselves and, usually, disregard the costs to others. The "not my problem" mentality. This leads to conflict as groups scream at each other that they are not being...

Correct Jim has to break the pod to get her out. She's not happy when she finds out.

Ok how about Passengers, headed by Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt, from 2016? I have watched it a few times and still enjoy it though at the time of it's release there was controversy about Jim Preston's decision to wake one of the other passengers. Let's take a step back, Earth is a mess...

I agree with you to a degree. I have both the Hunger Games on Blu-ray and the books (electronically). However reading the books almost felt like watching the film( I bought the books after watching all 4 films) though without the visual & auditory inputs. If my memories are correct then the...
