Westworld is lighting up, guys. Watch it.

Best episode yet. This has become a great show.

Although confusing as all hell.

Very true.

Watched the Netlix series on Commodus.  It is an interesting mix of the HBO series Rome (complete with nudity so Josephus will approve) and narration with interview clips with historians like Anthony Everitt.

Is it any good? I saw it pop on my Netflix recommendations list, but I wondered if it's decent of just some History Channel-level dross.

A bit of both, but they have Everitt on every once in a while which is worth it.

Thanks, I guess it won't hurt to watch the first ep and see. I'm a sucker for Roman history stuff anyway.

Watched the first 2 eps of The Expanse. Liking it so far.

Thanks for mentioning The Expanse. I don't know how it slipped past me before.

Westworld  -  [spoiler]So Bernard as Arnold. Saw that one coming. But not quite how I expected, I thought one of the two guys in the photo would be replaced by the actor we know. As things are....who is the 3rd guy? And how come nobody recognises him?
Delores killed Arnold. Well damn. Wonder how many others she killed. And how she is still hanging around.
If Billy as future evil guy is indeed true a lot of questions are there.

Billy being in the past is also pretty much confirmed with the very robotic hosts around him.
Makes me wonder though. There are these special sentient hosts... but that means they're the old robotic models and not the new organic models.... strange for the robots to be less sophisticated than the organics.[/spoiler]

Is 'Hateful Eight' worth consigning 2h40m of my life to?

I saw a promo for it on HBO and I'm going to watch at least a bit.  No way I'd pay to watch.

Watched an episode of Big Love.  Sure are a lot of white women.

Oh year it's free, but the time consideration is the thing.

No guard shacks or gates to lift in it. So solly.

11B doesn't like the lack of historical accuracy of the turret traverse speeds.

[Ed Anger]

Base cop doesn't understand the hilarity of dead SS. So sad.

[Admiral Yi]

Tigers were notorious for their underpowered turrets.
