    ...she wasn't exactly a prominent DS9 Writer. She's a Whedon hanger-on who can't really write well beyond that narrow milieu.

    The last rule is that if this is your first night, you *have* to fight.

    Her name was on BSG seasons 3&4, Caprica, one episode of Game of THrones which was riddled with continuity errors, and MIracle Day....how is any of that a plus?

    "compassionate"? He seems boring and dopey stacked up against the wonders of the universe.

    Yes.

    I also loved how subtle Karen Gillan's performance was. They pointed this out in the special afterwards, but its great when you're looking for it: she didn't over-act this, but tried to subtley change old-Amy's body posture and movement; i.e. she had a slight limp from past battle damage.

    I saw it more as that they were presenting that Amy 1 - spent a harrowing 36 years in solitary confinement dodging security bots, 2 - no time loop or "hey the TARDIS brought Centurion-Rory back to life!" — that this Amy had lost 36 years of her life and she wasn't getting them back, was 36 years closer to death.

    Jane openly, I mean openly and casually, waved her hand at any continuity errors in Torchwood: Miracle Day. I mean, flat out said that she knows she introduced continuity errors but doesn't care and you should just consider it an alternate continuity, or something.

    As a medievalist, I have to point out that it wasn't the main cause of that.

    Its not that the writing for Rory, or his acting, has been forced.

    I hope people will finally realize Jane Espenson isn't all she's cracked up to be

    You forgot Red Dwarf's quite innovative concept of "positive viruses" that actually do beneficial things for the body...until your immune system fights them off. I.e. the "Good Luck virus" that temporarily gives you the ability to randomly guess the 9 digit security access code to a prison door; or the "Sexual

    Blade didn't cure Whistler with a "vaccine"; the first movie actually had a big subplot about that: a hematologist he meets figures out the cure: given that they've established that Vampires are caused by a virus (all of that supernatural crud doesn't mix too well with the overall style they had, blood god and

    Logically, an alien species would camouflage in its environment to hunt better; this means that it would be difficult to see....I mean, how many land and sea predators even on Earth, blend into their surroundings or look like rocks?

    What choice do they have when they just cancelled their free flagships series?

    "Misery loves company"? Typhoid Mary? It would be morally blameless to shoot infected people *on sight* rather than let them spread the disease. I mean seriously, "I have a hyper-plague...so I'm going to go into public places to spread it to other people?"

    That music video *actually won* the Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation Short Form.

    OKay, Brooks has ruthlessly teased dozens of times that fast zombies are as idiotic as a werewolf with wings: pointing out that the "but fast zombies are scarier!" argument 1 - makes as much sense as a werewolf with wings (yes it might be more deadly, like a shark with a laser attached to its head, but its also

    Leela's eye is supposed to be the size of a softball.

    How can this even be legal?
