Review of 'Timeless' 2.3
A thoroughly satisfying Timeless 2.3 last night, which featured, among other good things: Orson Welles (or, at least Citizen Kane), Hedy Lamarr, Lucy singing "You Made Me Love You," Lucy and Wyatt finally together, Flynn out of prison via an inter-temporal gambit, and a surprise ending I won't mention until the end in case you don't like spoilers (which, by the way, were mentioned, literally, in this fine episode - as was, come to think it, Fake News, too).

The Xankuri Ambassador
#KuriStory #HeyKuri From the other side of the galaxy, the Xankuri observed humans through black holes with their accelerated frequency refraction devices. They received and transmitted many frequencies through this device, including sight, sound, electromagnetism, and emotion. It used the strong gravitational pull of the black hole to slingshot this information back to them on the other side of the black hole. The Xankuri used this technology to observe many lifeforms, but the lifeforms on Earth really troubled them.

Review: 'Pacific Rim: Uprising'. Top Story - March 2018.
While the first Pacific Rim film had over-the-top characters and was very silly in tone, it had great action, stunning visual effects, and was really fun. That was mainly thanks to Guillermo Del Toro being director.

Every Reason Why You Shouldn't Read the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' Series
Who hasn't heard of the book Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams? Or at least the movie of the same name? For those who raised their hands, the first book and the movie follow Arthur Dent (portrayed by Martin Freeman in the 2005 movie) and his lackluster group of...friends may not be the right word...companions? There's Ford Prefect, Zaphod Beeblebrox (the President of the Galaxy), Tricia McMillan, AKA Trillian, and a downright depressing robot named Marvin. Now, the plot of the film and book differ slightly and I don't want to make this too confusing for either of us, but both involve the end of life as we know it, the question of the universe, the answer to that question, and mice being the second smartest organisms on Earth (only because aliens don't understand that cars aren't organisms).

Kuri Origins
#KuriStory #HeyKuri About 26 thousand years ago, far, far away from Earth, a perfectly spherical transport vessel traveling near the speed of light passes through a turbulent meteor shower. The ship is moving so fast that, to outside observers, the craft appears as a long, wispy strip of white light. The meteors seem to melt away as the ship slips through the onslaught of gigantic rocky debris.

How Kuri Came to Be
Eli had been in depressed for days. His wife wanted to have a child more than anything, but obviously, it could never happen. It didn't matter how many times Eli explained to his wife that it was impossible for them to have a child, she pestered him incessantly to find a solution.

K.U.R.I: The Original Galaxy Scout
Before Earth was discovered, six planets from a faraway galaxy joined together to find a planet they could all call HOME. On the planet INOS, its inhabitants were people born of the soil. They learned through visions and messages that came to them in their sleep. The one who dreamed of finding and joining other planets, he was called Liam. Because of this vision, he was appointed leader of the planet. Not long after this vision, a man from the planet Pripensi (a planet of great intellect) came to our world and introduced us to flying machines, capable of venturing to other planets and galaxies. He later divulged that he also had shared the same vision as Liam, and the message lead him to INOS. His people had called him Linus. Linus was what you would call today, a scientist. He was also responsible for a lot of the things you have now, but it took a very long time for Earth to accept them.

Earth Hour Was a Success?
The WWF and their supporters do so much not just for the animals but for climate change. Over 55,000 promised this last week on World Earth Hour to stop their use of things that they know are hurting the environment. Their promises included: use reusable bottles, no more plastic straws among other things. So many people did their promise.

Human Species, Did We Screw Up?
The human species: supposedly the most intelligent beings on our planet. Yet what type of intelligent creature destroys their only home? You see most intelligent creatures adapt to their environment, living in harmony with nature and the other animals in that area. We, human beings, do not do this. Instead, we adapt everything to us. We don't care how much we destroy as long as it suits our needs. This is not a sign of an intelligent creature. In fact, this is the sign of a primitive being: something that doesn't understand the delicate balance of the planet they live on.
