Out of the Blue

Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating, and here's hoping you have what to be thankful for even if you aren't. I'm feeling gratitude myself, and that you are reading these words is part of the reason. We have a pretty low-key gathering planned at the BlueTower, and I've completed my chores well in advance of the festivities, so my plans for the rest of the day involve eating, drinking, and watching tackle football, all causes to be thankful as well.

Grateful Links: Thanks Ant and Acleacius.
Play: Wrassling.

Stories: Every Thanksgiving Weekend Movie and Marathon.
More Thefts Happen on Black Friday Than On Any Other Day. Thanks HARDOCP.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours too, Blue, and all the rest of the denizens that hang out in this corner of the interwebs. With three NFL games on today, it's time for another round of Limbo with my picks.

I was thinking about this for me the other day, my PC is 3.5 years old so it's probably due... but it seems to be holding up pretty well.

I've almost finished reading the Expanse series of novels. I'm not sure SyFy can do it justice, but if they can keep the show going until the Ring Station is discovered, they could turn it into another Stargate franchise.

seems like the highest budget yet... had some zero-grav scenes, also some "fully nude" scenes

you can tell they are serious about it

Is it just me, or does China and Japan have a hard time managing emergencies? I mean....supposed the most intelligent portions of the world, and they fail time after time dealing with human life and emergencies. Putting water (and it looked like a slurry) on a highly volatile chemical is instant no no. I am sure hundreds died - that was BAD!

China yes, Japan no. China has no real infrastructure. Couple that with the rampant corruption and bureaucracy and it's a major clusterfuck.

i hope it's better than that. stargate was mildly entertaining at best. if there's a scifi series it should aspire to, it should try to be babylon 5.

Happy Thanksgiving (somewhat belatedly), Blue and everyone! Have way too many leftovers to last me a few days.

Yeah, that was cool. Nice world building: BSG grittiness meets Firefly multiculturality. And a nice story hook to keep you coming back. Definitely want to be watching more of that.

I just finished reading the fifth book the series is based on. One of the best space operas I've read in the last decade. Great, great series. Highly recommended for you SciFi bookworms out there....
