So today is the Winter Solstice and the days will finally start getting longer. I'm hoping that this is the reason behind me being so sleepy and tired all the time. This and the weather change. The season started with pouring rain and the beginning of heatwave (for winter). It's 10 pm and it's still 16oC (60F) outside and it's only going to get ( Read more... )

And now I go to deal with my headache

Another shows that finished on last Friday was Defiance.

The thing I always liked most about Defiance is the moral ambiguity of it's protagonists. Nolan is called butcher of Yosemite and in other shows it would turn out he didn't do it but not here. He did it an doesn't even feel too bad about it. It was a war and they were fighting against an ( Read more... )

I'm sorry this is very, very long but I didn't write anything after other episodes and I have feels.

I enjoyed the whole line-up of Syfy's Fridays this summer but my favourite turned out to be Dark Matter. Yes, it was cheesy and cheap - the same factory with different lightning woks as almost any place (yellow for mining colony, blue for zombie ( Read more... )

I didn't hate everything on TV this summer. In fact I liked a lot of it and this post is about things I enjoyed (the things I loved will get their own posts).

I like this season of Dominion even better than the first one. It's still cheesy in many ways but it also pretty entertaining, has good visuals, nice twists and I like this new thing of ( Read more... )

For some reason this time zone switch really messed up my sleeping. Maybe because my final flight was so late. Maybe it's because of the weather heat makes me extra tired and before storms I get extra sleepy. Anyway, I'm unable to stay awake. I sleep for 10 hours. I spend 8-9 in work and travelling to and from it. I have no time to left to live ( Read more... )

The winner of this year Clarke Award has been announced. The award goes to Emily St. John Mandel’s Station Eleven. Somewhere out there Puppies are very Sad now ( Read more... )

I just watched the 12 Monkeys pilot and it was fun. When they announced this series it seemed like a horrible idea but they did pretty well at making it interesting.

[Spoiler (click to open)]There are a lot of changes of course. The dates for now and the future are obviously different. Cassandra is a virologist and the 12 Monkeys leader is a woman. The future people are ( Read more... )

I spent last three evenings watching the Ascension miniseries and it was more fun than I expected. I wasn't really sold on the whole interstellar generation spaceship from the 60s. I was thinking maybe it'll be some kind of alternate reality where they used Roswell alien technology to explain why they were able to achieve it so early. However, the ( Read more... )
