For all the shows they premiere with both the pilot and second episodes, this surely should've been one of them. I was left wanting more, and not only in a Zombie-Veronica-Mars way, I also needed a little bit more context for deciding if I want to watch this again next Tuesday or wait until the whole season is over (I…

Definitely helped me understand how cool math is.

Just what exactly did the youngest sister do in her bedroom with that picture of a crow?

That is...that is kinda spoilery. Not sure I like that.

Thing is, if Clarke doesn't 'let down' Lexa as smoothly as possible she risks letting awkwardness and embarrassment into an already tense alliance. Lexa doesn't even trust Clarke about Octavia, could she ignore and rise above being rejected to continue supporting Clarke and the Arkers? I don't think Clarke believes…

She really is.

yoshi.themoto linked to this and I'm finding it surprisingly palatable in regards to making those dreaded changes.

Ugh, stupid internet...double post....now, replying to my own post. Gross.

In general I think you have a good point about how genre is determined vs. how fans use it, but I still can't help but put a little more praise on writers who keep consistent science throughout their stories.

And that might be the flaw in such a general discussion of what is required to be considered "science fiction", because as most of the comments seem to show, it's all on a continuum. Don't want to toe the hard-science line? Say it's space fantasy. Want an astronaut to miraculously survive 7 years alone in space and…

I watched the movie Sunshine recently and suspension of disbelief was a real effort because of this type of thing.

I thought the same thing! Of course, going through the movie believing she was the lead made it [SPOILER ALERT] so much more surprising when she gets taken out. Pros and cons, I guess?

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith
For a little girl who liked to read, Francie Nolan was immediately relatable, but then to experience a different time in America (and wartime, without attention to politics), how class isn't as much of a divide personally as people may think, to read about female characters who…

My attempt at this week:

80s Fringe has been my alarm for the past 2 years. Now I'm re-watching Fringe though, and there's definitely been some conditioning going on here.

This was the first show, especially because I was watching in the summer, that I just kept going until the sun came up. No concept of time at.all.
