The full cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation was on Family Guy last night. (Also apparently Meg gets religion.) I didn’t see it then. But I’m watching it right now. So can you! Because it’s on Hulu.
(Here at Time we’ve invented a new kind of blog where you can’t embed Hulu videos. So a link is all you get.)
I’m not going to jump into the whole Dollhouse-recapping dogpit. It’s too much work and other people are too good at it. So as usual I’m just going to offer some stuff that occurred to me while I was watching this week’s episode. Complete episode is here.
– Victor: that actor is really growing on me. When he first showed up I …
[Warning: this is what news professionals call a "soft" item, in that it is unrelated in any way to any news breaking or otherwise. Not like all my other posts.]
I don’t mean to get all Lifehacker on y’all, but I have no e-mail in my in-box. None.
I didn’t want to say anything and jinx it, but it’s going on three weeks now, and …
Posting about the Where the Wild Things Are trailer has already, in 24 hours, become the trucker hat of nerdblogging. Who am I to defy the status quo? Nobody, that’s who.
I initially held off on a post about this trailer because … I didn’t like it. I yield to nobody in my love for Spike Jonze, or at least Being John Malkovich. …
I never read Enid Blyton when I was a kid. That is because I grew up in a country called “America.” But apparently she’s a big deal in other parts of the English-speaking universe — last year in a UK poll she was voted the most beloved author of all time.
Now, I’ve eaten marmite, so I know that English people have a sick sense of …
A games startup called OnLive will be coming out of stealth mode today at the Game Developers Conference. Here’s the proposition: they take the heavy processing part of video games and move it into — and I apologize for using this hated, hated word — the Cloud. All the high-end graphics heavy lifting happens at some server farm, …
I finally got to watch Friday night’s Dollhouse yesterday. It’s currently the only episodic television I follow, and I’m a little at a loss to explain its hold over me. But that’s not stopping me from having opinions about it! To wit:
– Obviously, there’s a lot of sex stuff implicit in the whole Dollhouse premise. I’m starting to …
The new Tripwire Special is here — Tripwire being an estimable British comics magazine. The real revelation for me in this ish was a piece about Kick-Ass, a comic I had not previously heard of, but which not only exists but is about to become a movie, very possibly a movie I want to see, for a few different reasons. Reason One, the …
Hi! I’m Tim Long, a colleague of Matt Selman’s on The Simpsons writing staff. I’m subbing for Matt today while he works on next week’s blog post, an elaborate parody of X-Men Origins – Wolverine entitled, Breakfast Men Origins – Chocula.
My subject today is this:
“I can’t deny that I’m a nerd” – Katie …
– Terrafugia has successfully road-tested its ‘flying car,’ in defiance of the fact that I don’t really want a flying car. It basically just looks like a plane with big wheels on it anyway. I’m holding out for hoverbikes.
– Apparently IBM is thinking about buying Sun. Sure, why not?
Palm’s Pre is still months away from launch, but already it’s making the world a better place. Proof? Apple today announced that a raft of improvements is coming to the iPhone–including, at long last cut and paste.
That critical feature, along with a bunch of others, will help the world’s hottest smartphone (17 million sold to date) …
