Walk on the Dark Side with This STAR WARS Tattoo

Since I’m still in Star Wars Celebration mode, I figured highlighting an impressive (most impressive) Star Wars sleeve would be appropriate for this Inked Wednesday. Tom, a member of the 501st Legion Neon City Garrison, has just the tattoo for the occasion. He has a black and white sleeve that mostly features dark side characters. I say mostly because the fate of Captain Rex foiled his theme. Tom told me, “My plan was to do a dark side theme, but shortly after I got my Rex tattoo it was revealed that he wasn’t part of Order 66, so that ruined the dark side theme, but it still looks cool.”

It still looks damn cool. Check it out:

Tom’s invested 50 hours in the tattoo so far and thinks he’ll have it completed with one more session. The art was completed by tattooist Robert Pho out of Skin Design. I love the use of black and white with these characters; the shading and layers makes the villains especially intense. Drop to the gallery below to get a complete view of Darth Maul, Boba Fett, Darth Vader, General Grievous, and more.

If you have nerdy ink on your skin or you’re a tattoo artist that applies pop culture, STEM, music, or other nerd-inspired ink (tl;dr: I want to see practically all the tattoos) on a regular basis, then please hit me up because I’d like to highlight you in a future Inked Wednesday gallery. You can get in touch with me via email at alratcliffe@yahoo.com. Send me photos of the tattoos you’d like me to feature (the higher resolution, the better) and don’t forget to let me know the name of your tattoo artist if you have it, as well the name of the shop he or she works out of. If you are the tattoo artist, give me links to your portfolios and/or Instagram accounts so I can share them with our readers.

THE EXPANSE Recap: The Season 2 Finale Goes Out with a Nuclear Bang

Fair warning: this recap includes spoilers for The Expanse that may lure you outside a spaceship—don’t say we didn’t warn you ahead of time!

After a tight season of brinkmanship and a murderous Protomolecule, The Expanse finally delivered what we’ve been dying to see: a cameo from Adam Savage descending to Venus.

The finale episode of season 2, “Caliban’s War,” was a surprisingly contained tale of two thrillers. One set in Jules-Pierre Mao’s (François Chau) rumpus room; the other set aboard the Rocinante.

Holden (Steven Strait) and Naomi (Dominique Tipper) reunited, and Holden took responsibility for the obsession that almost sacrificed his friends and lover. Captain Ahab no longer hungers for the white whale.

After an awkward bit of normality, where Naomi and Alex (Cas Anvar) checked on what repairs needed to get made, the Proto-beast from Project Caliban popped up jump-scare style on their monitor, forcing a newly clear-eyed Holden into a more personal showdown with the super soldier. It was also another chance to witness the rift between Dr. Meng (Terry Chen), who viewed it as a human victim and Holden, who viewed it solely as a weaponized threat.

Holden and Amos (Wes Chatham) jumped right into Plan A, with Plan B being “make sure Plan A works.” After a quick scratch, the Proto-beast threw an incendiary device out the airlock. Was it a weapon? Was it a control device? No time for questions, they started shooting at it, which seemed to do a little damage (or at least irritated it enough for it to throw a cargo container with a mag-lock against Holden).

With Holden trapped, and his air running low, Amos had to escape. The beast was then free to dig into the bulkhead to try to get to the reactor to feed off the radiation. So, no big deal, right? Except that if it breached the reactor plating, everyone aboard would die horribly.

What could they do? How could they kill it? Alex said they should bounce it out. Dr. Meng said they could try electrifying it. Fortunately, Amos knows a lot about how people die, so he came up with a beautifully scientific solution: to pressurize the cargo area until the door and the beast were blown out like Mentos from a coke bottle. The obvious problem with every solution was that they all doomed Holden to martyrdom.

Amos became one of the most fascinating characters this season, and it was in this episode where he reached a point where he admitted struggling with autonomy in a profound way. Beyond serving as a grunt, he ached to understand his own mental and emotional freedom, but that freedom came with a cost. Autonomy and power mean making difficult decisions, and sometimes making the wrong ones.

Alex successfully shut down the drive so the beast would stop digging…which left it free to stalk Holden, who stretched for his gun only to knock it father away. It was a clever little moment that highlighted the sheer difficulty of the situation they were in. Alex, like Mario staring down a Boo, could stall the super soldier, but no one could stop it from either going after the reactor or going after their captain.

In the struggle between the impossible choices, a death-ready Holden implored Naomi to avoid revenge, to ride out the danger somewhere safe. He claimed to regret what he’d led the team to do since discovering the Protomolecule, only because it led them to a space where Holden won’t get to spend more time with Naomi.

With Holden’s death staring them down, Dr. Meng had a hydroponic brainstorm. He used plants to science the shit out of the problem: suggesting they use nukes to lure the beast off the ship of its own accord. Like plants reaching toward the sunlight, the creature would reach for an alternative energy source if they gave it to it.

Amos gets his sentimental conversation with the good captain, saying, in his own charming way, that he hopes he won’t have to kill him, and that he’s been a good man to serve under. Then, like planting a seed in outer space, Naomi and Dr. Meng toss the nuclear core of the missile into dark emptiness with the Caliban beast chasing after its Precious. Naturally, it catches it just in time to be burned up by the Roci’s engine blast. See ya later, Smeagol.

After a knee-slapping celebration, welcoming Holden back from the brink of death, Naomi made a stunning closing argument after a season on the brink of war: No weapon ever brings peace; technology hasn’t stopped violence and war. The Protomolecule is a living reality.

She confesses her deception, that the sample (they contemplated back in the first episode) is safely not in the middle of a sun. She gave it to Fred Johnson. Now everyone has some of it to use how they will.

Back on Mao’s ship, Errinwright’s (Shawn Doyle) communique about killing both the Martian Defense Minister and the planet’s opportunity to kill the Proto-beast on Ganymede has resulted in a nice little firefight. Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo), Draper (Frankie Adams), and Cotyar (Nick E. Tarabay) got pinned behind a heavy coffee table, and Cotyar took an inconvenient slug to the chest.

Left with little option, Draper used the computer to locate a maintenance crawl space that led to the elevator shaft. Good thing Cotyar is a paranoiac–he brought Draper’s power armor along just in case things got messy.

Then they got messy.

The lead guard called for a negotiation, and Avasarala called for Cotyar to bleed slower. After a close call in the elevator shaft, Draper beat the hell out of Mao’s personal security team. Maybe he should have paid more for better talent.

Avasarala got one more chance to drop another Avasarala-ism, wrenching Cotyar wound and warning him that he’s not allowed to go into shock. The big question, with guns points in both directions, was whether there was any room for compromise. It always seemed fishy, but the head guard’s proposition is for Cotyar to get to safely and leave Avasarala behind. After all, when important, powerful people start fighting, it’s people like them that die. The grunts. The normal, hard-working salt of the earth (or Mars, or the belt).

Then, Draper reached another puzzle–a dweeb with his hand on a button that locks her out of the transport area. In that moment, her character arrived at a full 180 presaged by her seeking asylum on earth. Does Mao deserve the electrician’s sacrifice? She spun her own false lesson about dignity in noble death, a soldier’s un-considering death, to get him to let her pass. It worked.

Avasarala gambled on not being shot, and the gamble would have left her bleeding out on Mao’s nice flooring if Draper hadn’t stormed in to take out all of Mao’s heavies. Avasarala and her cohorts were left with two vital bits of information: Errinwright screwed them, and Mao wanted them dead.

Meanwhile, the exploratory team on Venus got to play a bit, recognizing the active nature of the Proto-crater. Without any more probes, they set out on an atmospheric flight, racing a Martian ship until it disappeared off their instruments. Then, they disappeared, too. Bursting into a trillion previously-intersecting parts, the crew is left floating in midair as the Proto-sprites buzz around them.

In a little taste of the coming third season, “Caliban’s War” closed with Mei (Leah Madison Jung) being closed up in the same kind of chamber that created the menacing Proto-beast the Roci team wrestled with. There were so many of them. So many pieces of brand new technology that definitely won’t stop violence or war.

SOME STRAY THOUGHTS:

Can you blast a nuclear missile core with a spaceship engine without it vaporizing everyone?
Interesting to bring Fred Johnson back into the mix. The show left the OPA drama by the wayside a few episodes back, but there’s no chance the larger plot can be done with them.
Holden’s willingness to die for his crew, particularly the way he was stuck, mirrored the way Miller thought he’d go out before having to fly into Venus. R.I.P.
Naomi’s speech felt like a warning for the show, too. It’ll have to evolve into something completely new or risk death.

What do you want from season 3?

THE MAGICIANS Season 2 Finale: Where One Apocalypse Ends Another Begins

Warning: the following recap contains spoilers from Wednesday’s episode of The Magicians , “It Begins.” It is a recap, after all! Don’t say we didn’t warn you …

Another season of The Magicians has come and gone, and thank Ember and Umber that Syfy has already greenlit the series for season three. Because if it all ended with the season two finale, I would riot. Like, full-scale, world-ending riot—Ember ain’t got nothin’ on me. But we’ve got a whole new season coming next year, so there’s no need for yet another apocalypse on top of the one our favorite magicians stopped, or the new magical one they accidentally caused. So without further ado, let’s get to recapping the season two finale!

Just like with last season’s finale, this week’s hour, “It Begins,” kicked off with a high-concept structure. Whereas Quentin got to narrate last year’s finale like a Fillory and Further book, it was god of Fillory Ember who got to host the narration this time around, shining a little bit more light on why he made the world the way he did …and why he’s so intent on killing it. It ceased to be entertaining for the chaos-loving god, so the magical world is officially on its way out.

That’s where our plucky magicians came into the picture. Determined to save Fillory, Eliot, Margo, Quentin, and Julia worked together to come up with a plan to save magic, the world, and themselves by pitting Ember and Umber against each other. When Ember angrily killed his brother after learning he didn’t actually die battling the Beast and made a deal to save his own life, Julia used the energy given off by the god’s death to make a god killing sword for Quentin to use to stab and kill Ember. Two birds, one stone, right? With both gods dead and gone, Fillory was now safe from Ember’s apocalypse. So that meant the Great Blank Spot was fixed, right?

Not quite.

You see, there are consequences to killing gods—just like Persephone tried to warn Julia about last week. Because gods have parents, who are responsible for the creation of magic itself and thus, can shut it off when people misuse it. So when Quentin killed Ember, he set The Great Blank Spot in motion. The Plumber of the gods shut off magic everywhere. In Brakebills, in Brakebills South, in the Library, in Fillory. Everywhere. No wonder everyone’s books in the Library ended in 20 blank pages, there was no magic to record what happened.

That’s when the finale jumped ahead to two months later, to a time where everyone was still learning how to get by in this new, magic-less world. It was bleak, dark, and depressing, to be honest. All over the world, people were desperate for any kind of magical surge, any reemergence or a spark. But it was no use: magic was gone. Even creatures who drew on the power of the Wellspring like niffins were dying. Friar Joseph came to give Alice a heads up before he died, though, warning her that one of the enemies she made as a niffin was looking for her. The lamprey wanted revenge for something she did to its family, and it knows exactly where she is and that she’s weak. She tore off running, and that’s the last we saw of her this season.

And in Fillory, while Margo and Eliot were arguing over how best to rule their new magic-less world, Fen reappeared after giving the fairies her toes to warn Eliot that the fairies were coming. Except they were already there, in attack formation outside and inside the castle. What were they after? And why did they want Eliot and Fen’s baby daughter so bad?

But perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope going into season three amongst all this gloom and doom. Back in NYC, Julia found Quentin to let him know that she quit law school (again) because she started to get actual magic sparks. Magic isn’t dead after all! And of course Julia is the one who can bring it back. This girl finally gets some good in her life after everything she went through. It couldn’t be more deserved.

And that’s a wrap on season two! The stakes have never been higher, and all our heroes have never been more splintered. I really want to see all the magicians come back together next season, although I don’t see that happening anytime soon as they’re all dealing with their own personal problems.

MAGICAL MUSINGS:

– During all this chaos, Kady and Penny tried to make their grand escape to Tahiti and enjoy Penny’s last weeks of life left, but the Librarians didn’t let Penny out of his contract even facing certain death. So Kady was sent back to Brakebills South and Penny is still dying, but in the care of the Librarians. This sucks, man.

– Remember in the season premiere when Quentin found the candy witch in the forest and gave her his blood? “Don’t worry, that will pay off,” Ember promised quite ominously in his narration.

– Things Ember did and was quite proud of: stole from the River Watcher so he’d be angry when Penny didn’t pay him; hid the Wellspring ball in plain sight; made the rainbow bridge bloom; made Fen ovulate on the right day so she’d become pregnant, leading to the deal with the fairies and repeatedly broke the filtration system so the Wellspring would be unpredictable and “fun” (meaning all those pesky brownouts were actually just Ember fucking with the Wellspring more); cultivated massive sudden climate changes killing off entire species of wildlife; turned people into rats; birthed babies without mouths. Heck, even the Great Blank Spot that’s been freaking out the Order of the Librarians was Ember’s doing. Ember’s idea of entertainment has been killing Fillory, and this was his opus. Holy shit. As much as I feel bad for him and his brother getting killed, they both kind of deserved it for all the trouble they caused and lives they ruined.

– Kady made a deal with Harriet to somehow save Penny’s life but also use him as a mole inside the Library without his knowledge. It’s a move that makes her kind of a shitty girlfriend but also one that might save his life, so it balances out? Kind of? But what’s her game plan here? That’s going to have to wait until next season.

– Quentin and Alice are back together! Kind of! She’s slowly getting back into the life of being a human, and that meant sleeping with Quentin. But considering that she’s now on the run from an enemy, her relationship with Q will have to wait.

QUALITY QUOTES:

Ember, narrating the “previously on” segment: Hello glorious audience. It is I, Ember, God of Fillory. Feel free to bow and grovel. I’ll wait. Aw, but I’ve got so much to tell you. I, with minor help from my brother Umber – RIP – created a world intricate as filigree. And that is what I called it. Except, I was a bit drunk so … Fillory.

Ember: The danger of sublimated trauma is a major theme in our story.

Penny: I take that to mean I’m improving?

Professor Lipson: Well, your skin’s healing. Obviously your lungs are, to use a technical term, f-ked.

Kady: I don’t want you to die.

Penny: Of course not. I’m the best lay of your life.

Kady: Shut up.

Eliot: What do you say? Want to put some pants on and save all of magic?

Eliot, enlisting Quentin: We have a plan, but we need someone who speaks fluent fanboy.

Margo, sporting a new eye patch: I look like Jack Sparrow if he were played by a man.

Eliot: I was actually thinking more of a fembot Nick Fury.

Eliot: Wait, is your good eye crying right now?

Margo: No. … Yes! And it’s not my good eye, it’s my only f-king eye. It’s not funny, you d-k, I’m a Cyclops!

Eliot: A mythological monster at last. Box, checked.

Eliot: I guess we’ll just have to live with this strain until the future reveals itself. Meantime, that future is going to be a big, blank, post-apocalyptic nada unless we do what we do best.

Margo: Act out with a total lack of empathy and impulse control?

Eliot: Party like the world depends on it. Because Bambi One Eye, it do.

Margo, surveying their big Fillory orgy party: Oh my god.

Eliot: I threw better orgies when I was 10.

Ember: Didn’t I banish you?

Eliot: Yes, you did, but …

Ember: I love it. A genuine twist. A true surprise. When was the last time that happened around here?

Eliot: Q, I think you just saved the whole world.

Eliot: We are officially a land of godless heathens, making today the first day of our societal adulthood. I for one am slightly terrified and equally excited and trying not to break into Hamilton.

Alice, upon learning that Quentin killed Ember: Gods like Ember have parents, you idiot!

Quentin: Welcome to the new normal, you know, because I killed all of magic f-king everywhere.

Julia: Sorry, that was definitely a two-hander. I’ll definitely be burning in hell right next to you, but hey, at least we’ll have each other.

AMERICAN GODS Introduces Mr. Wednesday in Teaser Clip

Based on the bestselling novel by Neil Gaiman, the Bryan Fuller and Michael Green-produced TV adaptation of American Gods will surely drop jaws and blow minds when it finally premieres on April 30. So far the wait has been excruciating, but at least Starz is kind enough to drop us little bits and pieces of what we can expect from the series, including some extremely iconic moments from the book that are finally being brought to life.

As we learned in last week’s exclusive clip, the one thing you absolutely should not do is mess with the people who work at airports. But what’d you do when your fellow airplane passengers start trying to mess with you? That’s the position that our protagonist, Shadow Moon (Ricky Whittle), finds himself in in this clip, which you can watch below:

In this new clip from the series premiere, Shadow has what he believes to be a chance encounter with a con artist in first class (Ian McShane) who totally has him pegged. His name? Mr. Wednesday. Or is it? And is his dead-on accurate reading of what Shadow’s mom was just a lucky guess, or is there something more mysterious going on here? The show isn’t called American Totally Normal People Who Happen To Be Good At Reading Each Other, so I’ll let you figure it out for yourselves.

Fellow bibliophiles, does Shadow and Wednesday’s first meeting play out exactly as you pictured it? Let us know what you think, and which scene you’re excited to see next, in the comments below.

This is the First Giant Shipworm We’ve Seen, and We Regret it Now

Since the 1700s, certain collectors have sold long, calcium-hardened shells that looked like hollow baseball bats or elephant tusks. Scientists suspected that giant mollusks made these shells, but a live one had never been recovered inside. It wasn’t until three centuries later—when researchers dug up a few inhabited shells from the marine mud of the Philippines—that we got a look at the owners of these ancient collectibles.

We kinda regret it now.

A study in PNAS outlines the creature inside, Kuphus polythalamia, and found that though the animals are colloquially called “giant shipworms,” they are more closely related to clams, as bivalves. The slimy tubes are around a meter and a half long (it is the longest known bivalve) kind of like a baseball bat you’d never want to swing.

The shipworms belong to the family Teredinidae, which bore into submerged wood (like the hull of a ship, hence the name) and use symbiotic bacteria to breakdown the wood’s material into food. K. polythalamia is now the only discovered member of this family that burrows into mud instead of wood, using their symbiotic bacteria to break down chemicals, like the chemicals that make rotten eggs smell bad, hydrogen sulfide, into sustenance. The giant shipworms’ ability to feed in this chemoautotrophic way is what sets it apart. It also slides out of its calciferous shell very grossly, which is notable.

While this newly described burrower may look like a sarlacc, its method of consumption is far less sinister. It burrows deep into the mud, secretes a protective shell over itself, and then sifts that mud over its gills where the symbiotic material break down hydrogen sulfide in the mud. K. polythalamia is less like a Star Wars monster more like a plant and its chlorophyll converting carbon dioxide into sweet life energy.

I want to touch one, what about you?

Will GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 3 Be ‘The End’ of the Team?

Three years ago, only Marvel comic book fans had any idea who the Guardians of the Galaxy were, and yet their MCU debut went on to become one of the biggest hits of 2014. Next month, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is likely to be an even bigger blockbuster, and Marvel isn’t taking any chances! James Gunn has already been locked up to write and direct Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, but that film may be the end of the team as you’ve known them. Today’s Nerdist News is coming straight outta Knowhere as we tell you what it means for the future of the Guardians!

Join host, and cryogenically preserved astronaut, Jessica Chobot, as she breaks down Gunn’s announcement about his MCU future. Earlier this week, Gunn said “Vol. 3 will conclude the story of this iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy and help catapult both old and new Marvel characters into the next ten years and beyond.”

The funny thing is that the current Guardians of the Galaxy team hasn’t even been around for a decade in the comics. But the Guardians do have a long history, including the original team from the future of the Marvel Universe. Gunn’s statement clearly leaves the door open for future sequels with a new team of Guardians, but we may lose some fan favorites along the way. That said, we shouldn’t be too surprised if Rocket Raccoon and Groot end up with their own spinoff movie.

But who should leave the team and who should remain? We’ve got a few ideas about that, including members from the original Guardians. That’s right, we’d love to see Vance Astro on the team! Although he would probably be declared an Inhuman instead of a Mutant, because that’s how Marvel rolls these days.

Who do you want to see on the next iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy after Vol. 3? Let’s discuss in the comment section below!

What If Other Planets Were as Close as the Moon?

Many people have tried to visualize how big the planets are in relation to each other and to large objects we’re more personally familiar with. Space and the objects in it are unfathomably big, so this type of contextualization is helpful for us to understand just how large celestial objects like the moon or Jupiter are. Many of these illustrations and videos have accomplished their goals pretty well, but this video from yeti dynamics does a great job at showing how big planets in our solar system are by placing them in a context we can easily understand: our sky.

We have an idea of how big the moon is compared to Earth — its diameter is roughly a quarter of Earth’s — so when this clip replaces the moon in a typical daytime sky with other planets, it really shows how surprisingly big these bodies are. The video shows Mars, Venus, Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter, and Saturn, and the planets start out looking pretty normal until we get to the final two, which cover up the majority of the visible sky.

The maker of this video did more than just create the stunning visualizations, though. The video description also explains his process deeply and gets into a bit of trivia about what it would be like if these planets actually were as close as the moon. Our tides would be messed up, our atmosphere could be destroyed, and our planet would actually become a moon to Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune.

Check out the video on YouTube for more facts, and let us know in the comments if you feel bad that Pluto was left out of both the solar system and this video.

Hero Dad Builds DIY Millennium Falcon Theater for His Kids

Do you suffer from TFOYFD (Tablet Falling On Your Face Disease)? Do you love Star Wars, but hate boinking your nose bones with heavy gadgets? Then you may want to follow the lead of YouTuber The Beardless Man — no wait, The Beardless Man! — and build a DIY Millennium Falcon tablet theater that can keep your face safe from the Force… of gravity! 

This debut video for The Beardless Man channel, which comes via Laughing Squid, features a man that has a face a lot like Mister Rogers’ conscience: squeaky clean. For his first man-dad creation, the man-dad-creator turned to something he both literally and metaphorically eats for breakfast: Star Wars. In particular, The Beardless Man wanted to celebrate his first chance at seeing the entirety of Rogue One. (There was apparently an incident that disallowed him from doing so originally; who has their money on issue with the kids?)

Perhaps the best part of the build occurs when The Beardless Man and his beardless progeny go toe-to-toe in a duel for the ages (4-6)! Look at this father-son stare off with lightsabers! All you need now is a puppy dressed like Chewbacca… Nay, Chew-barka!

What do you think about this Millennium Falcon tablet theater build? Is this how you want to represent Falcon pride in your home, or would you prefer that bed that lets you sleep in the Falcon’s cockpit (and could totally fit full-size adults no problem, probably). Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

This Pizza Box Robot Lasers Your Eyeballs No Matter Where Your Face Moves

Warfare is changing fast in the early 21st century, with cyber sabotage evolving at a good clip and even the establishment of a defense program that is literally called SKYNET (really). But April 17, 2017 will surely mark the day that everything changed—the day somebody would come back to if they were sent back in time to alter the future. The day that Michael Reeves, a software engineer and YouTuber with one video, changed the art of war forever with… his eyeball-lasering pizza box robot.

It will find your eye, and it will laser it.

The Robot That Shines a Laser in Your Eye, or TRTSLYE (perhaps Ocular Ultra Careful Hurter or OUCH would work as an acronym?) is a project that Reeves made and posted to Reddit. Apparently he made the robot to answer one of the age-old questions of this existence: “Can I have a robot that recognizes my face and shoots me with lasers in the eyeball?”

Clearly, Reeves has achieved his goal, even though it looks like… RoboCop and a Dianoga mated and sent their progeny to burst, Xenomorph-like, out of a pizza box.

TRTSLYE uses a camera and facial recognition software to track Reeves’ face, and a laser attached to a couple of servo motors, which are used for pan and tilt. The result of Reeves’ work, despite it looking literally like something you’d find in the bottom of a Family Bros. Pizza restaurant dumpster, is a bot that’s excellent at executing its core function:

What do you think about this form of ocular light lashing? Would you subject yourself to the little Three Stooges laser-bot? Let us know in the comments below!
