Fodder Fodder

The final season of “Mr. Robot” was compelling, if a little too enamored with itself in spots (the episode with virtually no dialogue was fine, but it wasn’t necessary).

I love everything about “The Expanse.” The books are delightful. The series is delightful.

There are parts of this movie that are quite good: Tessa Thompson, Michael B. Jordan, and Sylvester Stallone all give strong performances.

This book took me a little while to get into, but once I did I was all in.

I think Isaac Asimov said this is his favorite short story (of the ones he wrote). It’s cheeky, which I like. And I’m pretty sure some variation of this is included in one of the “Foundation” books.

I heard somewhere–probably on the “Binge Mode” podcast–that Isaac Asimov’s “Nightfall” is one of the best sci-fi stories ever written. So, I read it. And it’s good.

It’s been a very long time since I read a Tom Clancy novel, but my take on Jack Ryan is that he was always the smart-but-reluctant analyst who, by nature of his strong moral compass, found himself amid action (but maybe I’m wrong – or, maybe Ryan evolved into something else in the novels I didn’t read).

This is the final season of this show. I watched every episode in every season and I honestly don’t know what this show wanted to be.

I adore the “Expanse” series. I re-read this book–the fourth in the series–in advance of season four of “The Expanse” TV show coming to Amazon in December.

I thought I watched every episode of “Fringe” when it originally aired, but there were a lot of things I forgot (or missed entirely).
