I think they tested the outer limits of tedium by leaving that ghost show for what seemed like 20 years.

I like it: The Outer Limits of Tedium

Yep,  1000 episodes of doing the exact same thing.  (1) Visit owners, (2) Turn out the lights (3) Act like drama queens mind projecting spooky shit,  (4) Provide the owner pointless. evidence that never proved any paranormal activity.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Let's hope this is real. The cast implies a pretty cool storyline (it is a flashback to the 90s movie if you were wondering about how that cast could fit into a movie after Infinity War).

Looks real as far as the known cast goes. The only quibble is the release date; the poster has March 14, while both IMDB and Wikipedia show the release date in the US as March 8. That poster may be for a foreign market with a slightly delayed release date, though.

Cool! The first time we'll be seeing Skrulls in the MCU!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Tonight's episode of The Expanse ended on a 'Trip'. You have to see it to believe it.

Hopefully they'll wrap it up when the season/series ends.

Colony is really starting to get good this season, so I suppose sifi will find a way to cancel it.

I didn't understand any of it. The first and second seasons were Great, high-action, great plots. But season 3 has me more confused than amazed. It turned into some kind of psychedelic trip, like Space Odyssey. I don't know what is going on anymore?
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Lets put it this way. Once the Roci entered the Ring, they left normal space. If you haven't figured it out, the protomolecule is an alien intelligence, and it gathered what it needed on Venus to build the ring, which is a gateway (speed limits strictly enforced). We are seeing this as the characters do, and figuring it out with them.

The recent hard deceleration burn maneuver, flipping end for end instead of swooping around like a fighter plane, was a breath of fresh air. Finally, someone 'gets it'.
