what Dave thinks about movies, books and everything
{4.5/5} “And then one day, launch Piffland, the Piff the Magic Dragon-based theme park. Imagine a whole world just for dragons like me. Any time you see a knight, just punch it in the face. It’s like Dollywood, but for dragons.” Piff the Magic Dragon: Reptile Dysfunction, aired in 2022 This is a 1 hour […]
{4.5/5} “Of course, her mind, as she sat, was not immobile. She looked as though she were trying to solve the conundrum of her life. She longed for independence and adventure, yet she was a prisoner — a comfortable, well-tended prisoner, but a prisoner nonetheless. Independence required money. Her father hadn’t money to give her […]

{4.5/5} “Research teams had been working on time travel for decades, both on Earth and in the colonies. In that context, a university for the study of physics with an underground passageway to the police headquarters and countless literal back doors into government made perfect sense. What is time travel if not a security problem?” […]
{4.5/5} “Ever since we discovered that wormhole, it’s been both a blessing and a curse. Without it — frankly, and nothing personal intended — things would be pretty… boring around here. On the other hand, it’s the equivalent of staring down the barrel of a gun. Any time at all, something very large and very […]
{4.5/5} “Eliminate the impossible, and you’re left with the unlikely truth.” Miss Sherlock season 1, aired in 2018 Sherlock is a consulting detective for the Tokyo police department.
