Happy Pi Day, people! I wanted to put this on the “Are women smarter than men?” conversation, which I only discovered yesterday, but I can’t find it now.

“A Google employee just shattered the record for Pi calculations. Her name is Emma Haruka Iwao”

To claw back a shred of relevance, I’ll ask: Does the show relate in any way to the infamous Umbrella Corporation of the Resident Evil series?

I dunno, a bunch of unlikable characters so tied up in their interpersonal conflicts that there is no time for actual plot development? Honestly, they make a good case for letting the human species end itself. The monkey is the best character but after two episodes he has not been developed much. The pace is sooo slow as time is wasted on pointless goth angst.

Only seen two episodes so maybe it will pick up. But I do grow tired of the dark moody hero.

I watched the first episode a few days ago – it’s weird and different enough that I’ll go back and watch the whole thing.

Not being particularly keen on the super-hero yarns, with some reluctance about 10 days ago, I lay back on the floor with a pillow propping up my head as my wife tuned in The Umbrella Academy. Now, I must admit, I am a fan.

Interesting. I’ve seen the title listed but haven’t paid it any attention. Now I’ll check it out.

This has become one of my fav Netflix series too. Just discovered it last week. Like all good series, the best thing about it is you can’t even remotely figure out what’s going to happen next.
