"There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened."

Aside from being a not-too-shit movie adaptation, the Wing Commander games are fantastic and the collection is currently on sale at GOG. I'm in two minds whether to get them as I've heard the 3DO versions are better. #retrogaming

Mr Anderson... You piece of shit.

Other half is out tonight; rare evening to myself. Ordered myself a tika masala, pilau rice, and Narn bread, fixed myself and Old Fashioned, now watching Babylon 5: The Road Home. 📺🤘 #Babylon5

It would appear that St Patrick is more popular than St David... 😅 🍀

So, I've fallen further to the dark side and bought an iPad. 😁 Actually, I love my AppleTV, and my first tablet was the first iPad.

Got tired of my creaky kindle HD, which I had to sideload apps to make it functional for my needs. Samsung seem to have the monopoly, and I'm less keen on Android as a tablet. MS Surface? Fuck that; been there!

Only thing missing for iPad is something like NewPipe for YouTube (yes, I know, slum it and use a browser with ad block). 😂

My uncle from my father's side is 102:

Of course my type one diabetes would choose the first day back in work to be a complete prick. It's not like I've got shit to do; emails and people to be annoyed by.

Seen divided options of new series of True Detective, and of the new showrunner; I try to avoid anything with Matthew McConaughey and Vince Vaughan, so can't speak for that, and having not watched the other ones, but I'm enjoying this Jodi Foster one.

... I am enjoying 'The Bear', but with the dynamic range compression and volume a bit lower...

On stuff I've watched:

* Bradley Cooper: outstanding in 'The Maestro'.
* 'Nepolian': good acting, but if didn't care about any of the characters...
* 'The Bear': Unlikable people shouting over each other and a nice guy who likes making desserts.
*'Halo' S02: That's better.
* I'll watch anything with Noomi Rapace.
* 'Gladiators' feels cosy, like the 90's show, with every passing week.
* How the smeg did 'What we do in the Shadows' slip under my radar for so long; it's brilliant! BAT...

Want Sora AI can do is both incredible and scary, but the first thing that came to my mind is the possibilities of fixing and upscaling old shows, like enhancing the visual FX in Babylon 5 to hi-res 16:9, since a proper redo like Paramount did with TNG is likley too costly for Warners to consider.

Well, we got through the Mission Impossible movies. They were okay; some better than others.

I picked up the Babylon 5 blu-ray set on sale (I already have it on VHS, DVD, iTunes, and Amazon Video).

I love B5, but rubbish fiddly packaging, no extras, not even a booklet. I ended up swapping 'The Gathering' and series discs with the old DVD ones with room to spare for their bonus discs.
