  1. Also if movies count, do the versions of characters portrayed by different actors there count as different picks?

     

     

    I think you have to do TV and movie-of-TV stuff. I think we could skip JJ Star Trek though.

  2. Do you need someone to organize categories and make picklists for Star Trek? I'd volunteer. I think you're going to want Ships, Captains, First Officers, Engineering Officers, Doctors, Helm/Conn, Security and I'd lump Navigation/Ops/Communications together. Also Foe/Individual, Foe/Species, Love Interests. What else?

     

    1. Your hired. Should we do a Google sheet or something?

    2. Ship?

  3. [posts snipped] Well, that was fun, eh? So a couple things here.

     

    1. 4x4man88 has been banned for abusive PMs
    2. If you get an abusive PM, please report it via the report post on the PM (triangle ! icon) and don't post it. As a matter of principal we can't have people posting PMs here. If people do that then the whole PM global industry collapses and we're back to carrier pigeons.
    3. I totally understand the compulsion to post that shit but see #2.

  4. Last few posts are exhibit A for why Debate Team should still be a thing in school. Make your point about the issue at hand without resorting to ad hominem attacks and if you won't do it for civility's sake the do it because it weakens your agreement to do otherwise.

  5. First he advanced a pro-raisin agenda, then he shrugged at Tennant's Kilgrave.  I hope Tara is taking the Thankgiving hiatus to get poor Dave the help he clearly needs. 

     

    I stand by it all!

  6. Like Dave I went "The Simpsons!" in response to "To Serve Man".

     

    That wasn't me, I'm the jerk who stepped in with the correct answer.

    I'm enjoying "Jessica Jones" so far, but I agree with Alan Sepinwall's article today about recent TV relying too much on serialization.

     

    Jessica Jones? Sure, like I said the Alias stories PI cases were fun and could have been in a 13-episode season. TV in general? No way. I'm old enough to remember when everything on TV was procedural and it suck-dilly-ucked.

  7. About the credits (wow we are talking a lot about them, eh?): The organic feel they were going for seemed, to me, to be at odds with the too-fluid, too-computery output they ended up with. It created a credits version of The Uncanny Valley.

  8. Hey I've been thinking: it might make Game Time slightly easier on Dave if you just use the same rotation every week--say, Tara-Joe-Sarah-Guest. You could still let PICCI randomize who starts, but if you then proceed from there into the standard rotation it'll soon become second nature and you won't have to think about who's up next.

    (That particular rotation also groups people by location and nicely alternates Girl-Boy-Girl-Boy when the guest is a boy. I've thought about this too much.)

     

    Making things easy for myself is not in my stupid nature.

  9. I would love to hear you all have a discussion about that post-9/11 Sorkin West Wing episode sometime. I think your perspective on it would be really interesting (and potentially funny in its scathing-ness, LOL).

    I'd like to know what Joe thinks the worst episode is. I&I is the worst I've seen since, as I mentioned, I pretty much bailed after that one.

  10. Standard disclaimer: this account above is not verified.

    If you want to do a Reddit-style verification of a photo of yourself holding a sign with the current date and Previously.TV on it (so everyone knows this account is owned by the real person it reports to be from) then please go ahead.

  11. Dave, have you proposed Grosse Pointe Blank, the series? I would watch Grosse Pointe Blank, the series. That could be great.

     

    Have I? I will admit that I have never seen the movie. Didn't they make a series out of it?
