Swamp gases.

Oh man that was the best moment....a Graboid crashes through the wall of their basement and their friends over the radio on the other side of town think they're dead....only to hear gunfire, and the camera then shows that they crashed into the *gun room* of the crazy survivalist couple. It's the size of an elephant…

They figured out from fossils that the "graboids" are prehistoric animals, though their exact evolutionary path is hard to determine. And their life cycle as developed in the sequels is pretty interesting - sort of like the Piggies in Ender's Game.

I realize you need to write about it, but I'm stunned that you're still willing to compliment Ron Moore on any level. If the man isn't a pariah yet he should be. Ron didn't "succeed" with Outlander finally. He had a string of original projects for five years that all turned out to be massive flops. So what was the…

Okay, I *had* a Creepy Crawler oven, but we only ever used it under strict parental supervision. We realized how dangerous it could be if left unattended.

The books don't "structurally" have flashbacks. Chapters are told from alternating third-person POVs. One chapter will follow "Eddard", third-person but also describing his inner thoughts. The next chapter will then switch to "Cersei" etc. But within these chapters, Eddard might spend five pages reminiscing about…

I am the new head Administrator for Game of Thrones Wiki. You've covered this pretty well; at the same event, Benioff and Weiss also confirmed that Volantis will appear in Season 5, and that they are filming Volantis locations in Cordoba.

I've seen this movie before, it was called "Daybreakers".

I think they pretty much implied that Bail Organa and Mon Mothma WERE the heads of the nascent Rebellion, since the moment the Empire started (from Episode III deleted scenes).

Okay, I *did* learn Latin, and here's some thoughts: 1 - as an inflected language, word order is fairly meaningless in Latin. Yes, "Subject, Indirect Object, Direct Objact, Adverb, Verb", and Adjectives tend to go before the noun....but this is just a trend and not a rule or even a guideline (verbs *generally* go…

This Wayne Tech/Queen Inc merger bodes ill for my LexCorp stock.

I had no interest in watching this, and I have less now.

Well at this rate, by Season 5, the Penguin will be demanding a piece of *our* action!

I'm so sad. My first thought was, you know, instinctively, "Why not just ask Michael Clarke Duncan to come back as the Kingpin? He was pretty good at it."....then realization struck me. I'm sad now.

Larry Niven's Known Space series: Aliens didn't actually "create" humans on purpose. The ancient Slaver civilization would seed planets with yeast that the Bandersnatchi (giant slugs) would eat, as domestic livestock. Then some of their thralls rebelled against the Slavers, who faced with defeat used their…

I think we should take out some Animated episodes and put in the "Vulcan Reformation" arc from Enterprise: the show was utter crap by that point, but with new writers, it was the first new three part storyarc at the beginning of Season 4....and dang it, if it didn't put the past three seasons TO SHAME by using a…

Well these are generally fine picks (everyone will disagree with each other within a ranking or two, something at 5 maybe at 3, etc.) but *the Animated Series doesn't count*

Yes, yes, book fans were actually really upset that tomatoes appear throughout the Lord of the Rings film adaptations (not just Denethor but also Sam Gamgee makes some with bacon in FOTR).

Just because the Numenoreans brought tobacco and potatoes to Middle-earth from other continents doesn't mean they also brought pumpkins and tomatoes. The tobacco and potatoes were stretching it as it was.
