I have more notes which I will eventually get around to retiring into these pages.

This was a project to understand why live streaming is so popular.

There is also very little information out there which targets males, so I decided to do some digging to learn more. I ended up needing to adapt female-centric writings to extract things which are gender-neutral, rewrite things so they are more presentable to a male or just write my own stuff.

While interesting, this was a side-project I lightly researched ending in August 2015, but never pursued.

A stargate is shown to connect to another galaxy, but the trip proves to be one-way and fraught with new evils.

Fairly good, I guess. It’s definitely not as good as Stargate SG-1 – (1997-2007 show) but is a mandatory view if you like that show.

After a stitched-together corpse is found, it is determined that children have been going missing.

Featuring a Sean Bean who is restrained from acting, this plodding may as well-be documentary features people with an English accent doing stuff and caring about things. It is neither captivating nor even interesting.

Having discovered an interplanetary teleporter, humans bumble around by sending teams through to other worlds.

Pretty good. It’s definitely got the “TV series” feel to it, which explains how many seasons there are.

  • See Stargate viewing order. This series follows from Stargate – (1994 movie)

    • Watching that movie is not mandatory to watch this series.
    • This series has different actors.

  • The stylized “A” in the title (with the middle bar missing and the circle over it) is a reference to that symbol representing the Earth when programming a stargate.

A detective is haunted with hallucinations that include his dead partner, who was killed under mysterious circumstances.

I think some would find this movie slow and boring, and I did at first, but it very quickly revealed a depth and character that I haven’t seen in any television show before and I doubt I will again.

This isn’t a classic cop-and-mystery show. All I can say is give this a good chance, at least until the end of the second episode.

Article Two, “section five” of the United States Constitution is unveiled to the vice president, who keeps it secret and uses it as a leverage for extrajudicial power using one agent and a dude in her basement.

A mediocre show. It started episodic with no story arc, but then grew a weak one.

  • This show was cancelled after one season. I can see why.

The world, having gone to shit for some reason, has no guns for some reason, and, in a world nothing like Mad Max – (1979 movie), things happen for various reasons.

It’s a manly man man show, with fighting and stuff, though it does have some sort of fantasy fiction quietly woven in. It seemed fair, but I struggled to get through season one and just didn’t care after a couple of episodes of season two.

Though an author tags along with the police because a particular detective is particularly hot, it turns out he’s actually helpful.

I adore this series, even though it gets repetitive later on.

If I get to re-watching things, I’ll add notes.

  • Abandoned – ABC doesn’t list it any more.

Following a womanising business consultant.

Supposedly comedy. It’s not.

I find this really strongly uncomfortable. It has a whole lot of immoral or awkward assholishness. Maybe this would develop later, but there’s no way I’m going to get through this show’s growing pains if it’s full of more of what I’ve already seen.
