Back in pre-agriculture days, humans would sit around every night by the fire and interact with the rest of the tribe. That’s what we spent 99% of human history doing. Farming isolated us from the tribe and put every family in their own house. Then the Industrial Age gave the family distractions like newspapers, radios, and movies. Currently we’ve got a phone to distract us all the time.

Great novel / movie. The 7% Solution. Sherlock Holmes’ cocaine addiction is out of control, and he requires the assistance of Drs. Watson and Freud to get clean.

Funny thing.
I did a quick search of ‘robert downey jr stays in character in dvd extras’ and got the result instantly.
I’m perfectly happy with it not being ‘Star Trek.’
I want a show where we encounter and deal with truly strange new worlds.
I’ll edit. I would have sworn I mentioned the title. Silly me

I want a hard reboot where there are no humanoid aliens at all.
No Vulcans or Klingons; hell, no bipeds at all!
I miss some of those great DVD extras.
In the movie, Robert Downey Jr’s said he didn’t break character until he finished do the DVD commentary. He was in character when he did the DVD commentary.
There was a special edition of Buckaroo Banzai with an onscreen commentary that pointed out that Buckaroo was carrying Einstein’s brain with him when he entered dimension 8
edit = the movie was ‘Tropic Thunder.’
Two options.
Chocolate covered espresso beans. Taste like M&M’s
Manhattan Special Espresso Soda. Diet option is available.

Thank you.
Is this canon or did the poster just cherry pick a few instances?

Sad, but true.

It’s not just about ‘knowledge’ it’s how people interact with that knowledge.
In a face to face conversation, a topic like Batman’s utility belt, will come up, be discussed for a few minutes, and then the conversation might shift to tear gas or handcuffs or super heroes in general.
If I’m on the web, I’ll find another idiot and spend three hours just discussing the utility belt and research the exact issue it first appeared.
By encouraging research into trivia, the web makes us less able to step back and focus on bigger issues.
In no particular order.
‘Black Sails.’ Great pirate drama. All the sex, violence, and intrigue of GOT with a much quicker pace.
‘Penny Dreadful.’ Eva Greene and Timothy Dalton as vampire hunters in Edwardian London.
‘Ozark’ If you need more of ‘Breaking Bad’ watch this
‘Lioness’ Bizarre combination of soap opera and spy show. Female agents are recruited to get close to the families of terrorists/cartel members
Free on Youtube. ‘Connections’ great history of science.
