I’m finding The Orville surprisingly good. It’s nice that Star Trek/scifi fans have two new choices this season: Discovery for serious stuff, and The Orville for something more light-hearted

Someone should tell the president that EJKs are looking into his unexplained wealth. Apparently that’s the fastest way to get him to investigate something

Imagine if the previous administration had called their critics “ingrates” or “enemy of the state”. It’s likely that the very same people supporting this administration would be up in arms

Congress:
-
This administration complaining that the CHR focuses too much on their abuses is like software developers complaining that the testers focus too much on their bugs
-
The actions by Congress and idiotic statements from the SAGIP party list and Sotto etc tell us what to expect if the current administration and their lackeys were to rewrite our constitution. Their vision for the country: no checks and balances, no accountability, no complaining about the leadership. And some people I used to know have the gall to claim that we should trust the leadership to fix the broken system when every thrust they have made so far takes us backwards. Magkakaron daw ng meritocratic system afterwards, e mukha bang meritocracy ngayon! We’ve had idiotic politicians for as long as I can remember, but as far as I can tell the current crop takes the cake. That’s my political rant for the day. Now to go out and try not to get killed by cops.

“There has to be a balance, Vin,” he said. “Somehow, we’ll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be.” He sighed. “But for now,” he said, nodding to the side, “we simply have to be satisfied with who we are.”

“Life is short and the world is at least half terrible and for every kind stranger, there is one who would break you, though I keep this from my children. I am trying to sell them the world. Any decent realtor, walking you through a real shithole, chirps on about good bones: This place could be beautiful, right? You could make this place beautiful.”

DEFENDERS spoiler-free review and episode guide:
(Okay, maybe a teensy little spoiler in that image - but I couldn’t resist lol)
- this series moves forward each of the four protaganists
- you get to see most of the supporting cast come back and maybe even get a teeny bit of development in
- the plot is reasonably tight, i had a few minor nitpicks but now i can’t even remember most of them
- Maybe it’s just the fanboy in me, but I was really excited when they met each other for the first time
- Jessica Jones still the best character
- Iron Fist still the weakest point (see the image), but it’s not as bad as it was in his own series. It helps that he’s not surrounded by the weird Meachum family and has a better ensemble to work off of. I also really enjoyed how enthusiastic he was at getting a team together
- fight scenes are pretty good (at least better than in the Iron Fist series - also it’s still weird that Daredevil fights a lot better than Iron Fist. He must have been a real slacker during that decade in Kun’Lun)
- I suspect you can come in cold without watching any of the previous series, they do bring up their backstories a lot
- I’m disappointed that there was no title drop
Episode guide:
ep1 ok ep2 great ep3 great ep4 great ep5 draggy, this was the weakest ep for me ep6 ok ep7 good ep8 great. there’s a post-credits scene

Trying to get a taxi at North Avenue, around 10pm. I hailed 5 taxis, all of them had the “FOR HIRE” sign on. Only two of them actually stopped. The first one refused when I told him where I was going (a mere 5 km away). The actual ride took < 30 mins with minimal to no traffic. This is the future #LTFRB wants. (Madali pa yun kasi nagpalipas ako ng rush hour sa mall and I knew better than to try to get a taxi inside the malls like a noob)

I find it so strange that there is actually criticism about the thirteenth Doctor being a woman. I’ve always assumed sci-fi fans would tend to be liberal in their thinking and Doctor Who in particular always felt to me that it had a liberal tendency. Once again, humanity has disappointed me lol. (Also I should really catch up with episodes before the internet spoils me on what happens with Twelve/Bill/Master/Missy/etc)

Spider-man Homecoming Spoiler-free review:
- This movie is amazing. Possibly best in all MCU so far. It’s fun, it’s exciting, unexpected things happened. Maybe not watching the trailers helped lol
- Covers a lot of ground the previous Spider-man movies didn’t. Helped along by not needing to rehash the origin story for the Nth time
- Lots of great call outs for the comic book fans
- I was worried about the Vulture, but it was handled very well. Keaton is great here.
- This movie is tightly coupled to the MCU yo. IDK how they’re going to handle it if Sony breaks it off after the two-movie deal. By they I mean Sony. Obviously MCU can just ignore him forever afterwards.
- TBH I was also really worried about the MCU coupling and having too much Iron Man in the movie, but it turned out okay. Maybe could have had a little bit less Tony Stark.
- IMAX? Probably not worth it.
- there’s a mid-credits scene and a post-credits scene.
- Magugustuhan ba ni Mama? Possibly! There’s some shaky cam footage near the start that can be a bit nauseating though

Just saw two consecutive news segments on TV about cellphones being snatched from students. In the first segment, the police advised na “wag gumamit ng cellphone sa mataong lugar”. In the second segment, the police advised students not to use their cellphones pag wala masyadong tao. Wut. (Parang Singapore lang)

Software development, 2017: “Ooh, I’ll try this [cool new thing]! It’s easy, I’ll just do a hello world app!” (Need to download and install an IDE, an SDK, a runtime, several plugins, restart your computer a few times, redownload the SDK after finding out you got the wrong version, setup build scripts and a virtual machine, checkout this sample code from github, and so on)

Wonder Woman spoiler-free review:
- First act was best, second act was okay, third act/resolution a bit weak (and really kind of super obvious/predictable)
- The parallels with the first Captain American movie, especially in the 3rd act, are uncanny
- great battle/stunt choreography, especially in the first act
- Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright gave excellent performances
- Definitely better than Man of Steel/Dawn of Justice
- Not better than TDK/Logan. Come on people!
- Magugustuhan ba ni Mama: Possibly!
- Post-credits scenes: None

Frodo: I can’t do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn’t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something. Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam? Sam: That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo… and it’s worth fighting for.”

Designated Survivor: I like the parts where Tom Kirkman is dealing with day-to-day governance issues. It’s not gritty politics like House of Cards, it’s kind of the opposite - Kirkman is very much the kind of altruistic statesman the world could use right now. And occasionally he manages to beat the system too. The conspiracy parts with Maggie Q were okay, except that the resolution turned out to be really lame. TBF, resolving conspiracy plots is difficult; the tendency is either (a) overly-complicated conspiracies with multiple layers that get drawn out until the series gets cancelled (see: X-Files); (b) overly-simple conspiracies with lame resolutions

New TV is great :D

I’m glad I don’t have to worry about this new Anti Distracted Driving brouhaha. But from what I can see, it seems the biggest problem with this law is that it is subject to misinterpretation and people need to keep confirming with the LTO or other such experts what the law does and does not allow. I expect that this gives traffic enforcers a lot of leeway (read: chances for extortion)
