  • Very few people WANT a war in Ukraine. But as China keeps adding dashes to their map, it’s pretty clear there’s a reasonable chance to be an even bigger war around the corner, whether we want it or not.

    The Ukraine war woke the west up from its slumber, and it has allowed us to put the old stuff stuff cluttering our closets to good use, as well as test some new weapons concepts, and to get ourselves ready for the bigger conflict on the horizon.

    If we are really lucky, China is looking at Ukraine and having second thoughts about kicking the hornets nest at all, saving a lot of lives on both sides.

    If we are not that lucky, then Ukraine has allowed us to be much better prepared for the coming conflict.

    So am I glad Ukraine happened? Not a bit. Can I see the silver lining thru the clouds? For sure.










  • Dunno if Lexx is really worth it tbh. The original movies were worth watching just because it was so weird and different.

    But if you were on the fence after those, well it doesn’t really change. Just season after season of the same sort of plots…if you like that, it’s great. If you don’t, it’s gonna get old really fast.

    I rewatched all of Andromeda recently, and after a season and a half is was mostly awful, but it was occasionally entertaining.

    I rewatched the first Lexx movie, remembered why I never finished the show the first time around, and moved on to something else.
