Veteran character actor Shane Rimmer. He was the voice of Scott Tracy on the Thunderbirds, was in Three James Bond Movies (The Spy Who Loved Me, You Only Live Twice, and Diamonds are Forever), and was in Batman Begins, and one of the best movies ever Twilight's Last Gleaming (1977). For those conspiracy buffs he was in Alternative 3 (1977) playing Astronaut Bob Grodin.

It always takes a while to figure out what the Story even is for any given season of DIScovery. But with Episode 9 out on Netflix yesterday, we now finally have enough to theorize. So let us do that. It is nothing less then the Destruction of all Sentient Life in the Galaxy they have to prevent. I guess it is Tuesday in Starfleet again The Red Angel: Somewhen in the Future something will wipe out all live in the Galaxy. This could be something local or something that wandered in from outside. But it missed one spot - the Red Angel! Now the Red Angel has a powerfull exosuit with flight and time travel capabilities and it starts altering the timeline…

Welcome to the Rip the Umbrella superdraft, so named as we will be ripping off the Umbrella Academy (Both a comic book and Netflix show) with serial numbers filed and niches filled by personal choices. For those of you not acquainted... the barebones of the premise we are stealing from is this: Years ago, on the same day, forty-three infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven of these infants are adopted by a well to do individuals, who trains them as they grow to save the world. You will decide who their benefactor/mentor/parent was, and fill the roster of the adopted siblings.…

So why have "...Explained" videos become such a big thing on YouTube? Like, "The ending of <fill-in-the-blank> explained," or "Every ending of Love, Death + Robots explained," etc. Today's movies and tv shows aren't that complicated. They--and in particular, their endings--don't need to be explained to us like we're idiots. Why do so many video makers on YouTube think we're so stupid that we need this stuff explained to us? I find the insinuation rather insulting.

Spring Training games are going on, and baseball is resuming. Let the thread start! And on a personal note ... the Seattle Mariners have signed Ichiro Suzuki to a contract. Again. While it is the same person as batted leadoff with the Mariners for the 116-win season in 2001, in all honesty, it really is not the same Ichiro as hit .350 in that year. Most people figure he'll get a week or two of playing opportunities and then will retire in a Mariners uniform. Being a sentimentalist (and there's a vast amount of sentiment for sports in Seattle, though the moments of sports greatness here have been few and sparsely spread), if that's how it works out, I'm OK…

Over the years authors have developed many different ways of getting around the censors, especially where it comes to swearing. In Red Dwarf, everyone used the term smeag whenever they wanted to swear. Other authors went with ancient words that most people will not recognize. How do you prefer to make these non-swears?
