While Microsoft proves Brian right about the Ridley Scott series, but Netflix is being a little trolly and Web video becomes a heritage play.

Dispatches from the Front

Thanks for the show again. Any chance you could section one a week or month where you guys add a show to have people check out. Kind of like book of month from sword and laser. Since your show I have been binge watching and watched all seasons of the shield, archer, and just finished season 1 of arrow. After I watch season 2 of arrow going to start orphan black. Good option would be picking shows on streaming services like I going back to watch the sopranos on amazon prime.

I just tried to watch episode 22 of Cordkillers in the same way I have for the last 5 months, by streaming it on YouTube from my Nexus 5 to my Chromecast. Tonight I got an error saying this video is unavailable on this platform. I was able to stream it from a Chrome tab on my PC to the Chromecast. Did anything change?

Watching Cosmos. I agree with Tom, I have hated the external views of the “”ship of imagination.”” Clearly someone involved with the production either couldn’t grasp the idea (that if the ship is imaginary, the only image of what it looks like from the outside should exist in the minds of the viewer) or they thought the viewers wouldn’t get it. You can almost see someone rolling their eyes and saying “”oooh-KAY”” as they slapped the lackluster image image in to placate an unimaginative superior.

I really enjoy the show. Feel like it is hitting it’s stride as of late.

Any chance you guys could keep the Star Wars spoilers off the regular show? Maybe discuss it only in “”It’s Spoiling Time””?

I’m trying to go into Episode VII with as little background as possible and it is hard to do so if you guys are reporting on all of the leaked photos and such.

Just a suggestion. Keep up the good work.
