what Dave thinks about movies, books and everything
{5/5} “A deep cover job changes you in ways that are hard to describe. To become another man for months or years, it’s impossible to go through and not be affected at the most basic level.” Things have changed. Jesse is back at work in security, Fiona is back collecting bounties and has a new […]
{5/5} “So many battles waged over the years… and yet, none like this. Are we destined to destroy each other, or can we change each other and unite? Is the future truly set?” In the future sentinels — immensely powerful robots — were created to kill mutants but now they’re killing everyone. Some of the […]
I went to the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony’s performance of “Superheroes!” I didn’t know what the exact lineup would be but I expected it to contain many familiar pieces. The selection of pieces was a bit more eclectic than I expected, but it included some less familiar pieces that I’m glad I got a chance to hear. […]

He should’ve walked out on Lockwood when he had the chance. But he’d […]
{4.5/5} “Does this couch make me look fat?” Richard is a writer — he’s temporarily moved out of the city in order to have a change of scenery for writing his next book. His wife Claire is a doctor, and she comes out on the weekends. Richard has made friends with Abby, a teenager with […]
All of these shows had more than one season, and they’re either 4.5 or 5/5. Angel Some spinoffs struggle to be as good as their parent show, but this one used the fact that it was a spinoff to its full advantage — taking place in the same universe as Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Arrested […]
