   Recent movies and TV.

   Afraid (2024): A not-bad entry in the Haunted Home Assistant genre. If you're like me the first hurdle you have to get over for a movie like this is that idea that artificial general intelligence is possible at all (it is not)...

     @jwz say what you want about enterprise, but at least when it was bad it was "more chliché and more boring than average TNG episode"-bad, not "we don't understand the franchise, so let's just make a generic modern action sci-fi show, only the colour blue is allowed, everything must be gritty and grimdark"-bad

     @jwz I'm surprised you liked Dark Matter--we just finished it and found it to be incredibly dumb! I will admit I'm interested in season 2 where, presumably, Earth 1 spends some time scratching its head over the hundreds of dead Jasons scattered around the woods, discovers the box technology, and every possible reality simultaneously tries to genocide all the other ones.
