First Impressions: Foundation

If Isaac Asimov and Frank Herbert had had a baby it would look like Apple TV’s Foundation…No, that isn’t it. How about, if Apple TV’s programming chief wanted to buy Dune and it wasn’t available it would look like Apple TV’s Foundation? Yeah, that’s the ticket.Foundation by Isaac Asimov is one of the most over-rated books in the history of science fiction. It just isn’t as good as most people think it is. The idea of a galactic empire falling, with an ensuing Dark...

Life Hacks

Remember the toilet paper shortage?I actually used the one below when I was in the barracks. We weren't allowed to have hotplates back then. At least not in CONUS. Although you need to put foil over the iron or your service shirts are going to smell like pizza.

Good News for Doctor Who?!?!

Yeah, I know. Trust me, I know. Chinballs reign of terror over the franchise has resulted in such complete and utter devastation of sixty years of canon that there really can't be any genuine hope to be found anywhere. How can there be any good news for the most broken franchise in all of pop culture (and that's saying something)?Regardless, I am obligated to report this news to you. Russel T. Davies is returning to the show to...
