Welcome to the TV Soup podcast, home of drinkfive.com’s television review series. In this episode we continue our discussion of Netflix's Daredevil with episodes 7 & 8, "Stick" and "Shadows in the Glass". We finally meet the man who helped to shape young Matt Murdock after his father's death and we get some great background history on Wilson Fisk and why he is the way he is. Scary stuff. Daredevil is really shaping up to be something special as it winds down toward the season finale.
TV Soup Podcast: Daredevil, "Stick" & "Shadows in the Glass" Review
Just as a reminder, we're going through this series 2 episodes at a time so there are only a few weeks left before we move on to something else. We would highly recommend that you watch Daredevil in a similar fashion, since the whole thing plays out more like a movie than a TV series. Although there are a few gaffs that always come with a show based on a comic book, Daredevil has been put together pretty flawlessly in our professional opinions and we're looking forward to breaking down the rest of the episodes in the series leading up to the finale.
At least for right now, The Patriots will be without their #1 guy due to the 4-game suspension just handed out to Tom Brady by the NFL earlier today.
In addition to Brady's suspension, The Patriots will be fined $1 million and are being forced to give up two future draft picks, including their first-round pick in 2016. The statement from the NFL is available here: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000492190/article/nfl-releases-statement-on-patriots-violations.
This has been the big story for a few weeks now, and indeed the NFL did not back down despite many pundits thinking that the penalties incurred would be more slight (similar to past repercussions that violated NFL policies, such as Spygate and the Chargers use of Stickum). Players have indirectly admitted to NFL policy violations for years but when cases such as this one become very high profile (and considering the extra-bright spotlight that the NFL has been under after this past season's events), they have started to crack down more heavily.
From my perspective, this seems like a little too steep of a penalty for the crime (proportionately), but let's not rule out some kind of appeal that could bring this to more of a middle ground. Regardless, I'm sure we'll all hear quite a bit of debate about this on radio and television sports programs. So get ready for that. I guess it will also give us another window to see how far along Jimmy Garoppolo is in his development under Brady.
A subject that has fascinated scientists and science fiction enthusiasts alike as far back as the 1950's, artificial intelligence is a field that counts on the rapid development of other technologies, like computational power. With the current exponential growth of technology, it is estimated by many reputable scientists that work in the field of AI that we will begin to see some semblance of artificial intelligence become a reality in the next few decades.
Retrospectical Podcast ep10 - Artificial Intelligence & The Kurzweil Singularity
Ray Kurzweil holds a fairly shiny, optimistic view of how humans and technology can come together to both become more than they already are individually. There are plenty of negative voices on this front, though, such as Elon Musk, Steve Wozniak and Stephen Hawking, all of whom have expressed caution and even distress over the rapid progress in artificial intelligence. It is certainly something to keep an eye on, especially since it seems there are new developments in the field every time you look away to watch a cat video on YouTube. I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords?
Welcome to the TV Soup podcast, home of drinkfive.com’s television review series. In this episode we continue our discussion of Netflix's Daredevil with episodes 5 & 6, "World on Fire" and "Condemned". The Marvel Cinematic Universe has never felt darker and more violent than in this Netflix series, and we love it! Congrats, Netflix - certainly looking forward to the other Marvel properties that they are developing.
