A portmanteau of "before" and "foreigners" (if that wasn't obvious).  I subbed to HBO Max to watch the new Matrix movie and I stuck around to see what else existed that I didn't know about.  I guess that's how they get you! There are spoilers, so stop reading now if you don't want things spoiled...Beforeigners is a Norwegian production that follows Lars and Alfhildr, two cops in

DC Star Trek: TNG: The Pilot by Michael Jan Friedman My rating: 3 of 5 stars Pretty good follow-up.  This collection collects DC TNG 7-12. At least in this one, everyone's not a bodybuilder and the characters seem more true to themselves. I read these separately, but it's easier to mark a collection than to add 50 different entries into Goodreads :-).

This one is back from December of 2021. Once I finished the first ZoE, I thought I'd jump into the second one.  After about 5 hours of game time, I reached section 6.3 (of this walkthrough),o r 70% through the game, I ended up rage quitting 🤬🤬🤬 (also 😂 because I don't often rage quit).The thing that finally did me in was trying to bring Ardjet up to the surface and the stupid

Star Wars: VisionsI recently watched Star Wars visions, which is an animated anthology series that takes place in the Star Wars universe. The stories use different styles of anime, and the visual aesthetics (at least in some of the stories) really reminded me of Japanese Samurai stories in told in anime format and story. It is really appropriate given the origin stories of the original Star Wars.I

Alright! I think I made it to the end of the gamepass games that I tried (and attempted to finish) before my gamepass expired in 2020 😂. It only took me a year (and a half) 😂This is the Director's Edition of Giana Sisters (which I always expect to be spelled as Gianna but anyway...) Plot (from wikipedia): Maria is abducted to the Dream World, where the wicked dragon Gurglewocky holds her

Acts of Contrition by Kirsten Beyer My rating: 5 of 5 stars I rather enjoyed this one. You start off on a diplomatic and negotiation meeting, only to find yourself wanted by Delta Quadrant powers... I am, so far, enjoying the episodic nature of the relaunch novels. I hope that they come to a smooth conclusion, with no dangling threads.From the blurb:Admiral Kathryn

Καλό μήνα σε όλους. Ο Αρκάς με παρακολουθεί μου φέναιτε... κάπως έτσι άρχισε ο μήνας και η μέρα χαχα 🤣.  Σήμερα με την τσίμπλα στο μάτι όλη μέρα...😴

DC Star Trek: TNG: Return To Raimon by Michael Jan Friedman My rating: 3 of 5 stars This was OK.  You can definitely tell that DC didn't really know what to do with the characters and the universe. Everyone is really jacked - which is funny because Picard looks like a bodybuilder. Somehow data can feel, and Troy can feel him having feelings, and there is

 We recently finished the relaunch(?) of the series Dexter, titled New Blood (works on a variety of levels, I guess). When the original series ended, Dexter was last seen logging in Alaska. That ending wasn't really all that satisfactory. Not that I wanted to see Dexter dead, but it didn't really fit the character.  Now, years later, we see Dexter in upstate New York (without much explanation

Tried in gamepass in May 2020This seemed like an interesting game - at least in premise. You arrive in a city that's just totally gray and devoid of any color, and you bounce around and make things more colorful.  In premise, it seems like a   nice game to get into a zen zone and just enjoy it, but in May 2020 I was working on finishing up my dissertation (or was I done?) and I
