Some notes on how I prepare and eat Soylent.
I haven’t experimented with Soylent flavouring for my own use.

A meal replacement beverage.
A hands-down spectacular idea and implementation. I ate Soylent for months, and have even eaten it both as a snack, then a meal, and then as my only food. Highly recommended, not just for diet or general health but for lifestyle.
- These notes are for the from-powder 1.5 version.
The show was cancelled after two seasons, at which time I stopped caring enough that when I learned it had been un-cancelled I continued to not care.

A psychologically-disturbed young man’s fantasies spiral out of control as he pursues a lunatic’s dream for economic anarchy.
Fast and loose. This is one of those shows which tries to cash in on this generation’s theme of general discontent. It generally fails. More-or-less entertaining.
For everyday people this is somewhat recommended. For fans of psychological stuff, and anti-corporatism, this is somewhat recommended. For people who know enough about computers but don’t like psychological stuff or anti-corporatism, I do not recommend this.

Mr. Robot seems to be made as an homage-sequel to Fight Club – (1999 movie).

A disturbed child convinces a complete stranger that she’s his mother, embroiling her in a town-wide fantasy with his sociopathic mother as an adversary.
I guess this would be entertaining for little girls. This didn’t grab me in the first few episodes. It needs more explosions, or maybe a male role model.
- Abandoned – ABC doesn’t list it any more.

A great MMORPG with spectacular mechanics but no endgame.
I had a lot of fun with it way back when, but my most recent visit had me wandering around in circles for an inexcusable length of time. An utter failure. Still highly recommended.

A lawyer who shouldn’t be one does lawyering in a law firm.
I watched two seasons before getting bored, but it has its moments. All in all.. meh.

The surviving humans of a war against angels garrison themselves, and one of them is said to be their saviour.
Recommended. It’s got a lot of religion in it, but it’s generic.
I never did take notes for this. I probably should have. Maybe if I re-watch this series I will.

A man gets a package from the future, whose contents predict events.
An adequate miniseries that I didn’t get through.

People at various times are abducted by aliens only to be returned in an extremely showy way, but with amnesia and superhuman abilities.
A series about as impressive as this sentence.
