All right, I'm super confused. So, the NASA Authorization Act in 2010 was signed, supposedly to support growth in space activities. But the Constellation program was canceled. The Orion spacecraft stayed in development, however. And apparently so did the SLS. But now, they're saying all these big plans might be…

I definitely agree with you there. I'm all for clean energy, but only because it makes more sense than relying on non-renewable resources. As for global warming, maybe humans are accelerating it, but I don't think we can do a damn thing about it except attempt to stop contributing to the problem. Even if we don't, the…

Star Trek-n-Field

I definitely don't think there's a controversy here. Maybe bad timing for the Internets delicate sensibilities. T-Dog wasn't some 'black stereotype', he was just an unfortunately bad character. That's on the season 2 writers for not fleshing him out more when they could have. It seemed like they were starting to…

I thought killing Lori off early like that was a bit risky, story-wise.

Is it any worse than the 'astronaut's wives fashion shows"?

I thought that somewhere along the way they discovered that the Tyrannosaurus was a scavenger and not a hunter. Now I don't know who to believe..

Good point about Hershel and Beth, you're probably right there. I thought the same thing about T-Dog at first too, but I read this thing where the show runner made some comment about wanting to introduce Tyrese at some point. So he might be coming yet. I kind of felt like Daryl was taking some of Tyrese's second in…

Does anyone else think that the prisoner that Rick abandoned in the basketball court will either end up being Tyrese or end up taking Tyrses' badass survival story arch? Granted he didn't resemble Tyrese from the comics, but Daryl and Merle weren't in the comics at all and Sofia and Dale lasted a lot longer too. I'll…

Yeah, I love that they didn't Sam-Raimi Gwen out of this reboot, but she's gotta die at some point in the trilogy. Naturally it's just speculation, but it's kind of too bad I keep hearing it wont happen til the third movie. It almost has to happen at the end of the second. You can't kill her off at the beginning of…

I think Helium-3 is the best reason to fund NASA for a return to the moon. It's silly really, when you think about it, after billions spent developing the technology and procedures they only went up there six times. The first three were just exploration, checking stuff out, they didn't really even start geological…

Someone should pitch Warner Brother's that idea, kill them all off in the first movie. That way I wont have to read about terrible DC movies that are in production every morning here on io9. It's bad enough that they publish every production photo, interviews with no information in them, every casting call, every…

Oh, don't get me started on Superman. Easily the worst character imagined. Who cares about someone who's never really in danger. Being Superman on Earth is like me going to a kiddy pool and saying I'm a better swimmer than all of the 2 year olds in there. He's boring. Oh don't get me started on Superman.. and Wonder…

Point and case...

When I first heard of Extremis here on io9 it made me think of the symbiote from Spider-man. Which doesn't necessarily bother me. The Marvel Movie Universe has done a wonderful job of subtly setting up these plot points for the solo movies, and vice versa. You hear about Extremis and you look back at Captain America's…

There's no way a Justice League movie will be able to compete with the success of The Avengers. Not on that level. They're starting too late. They didn't plan for it. The casual moviegoer doesn't know anything about these characters, minus Batman and Superman.

Yeah, see this guy gets it. Malapropism at it's best.

I also used the word 'though' instead of the word 'thought'. Any opinion on that?

Some pretty cleaver contestants back then... it's almost as if they knew his secret before he came out and though to ask exactly the right questions that would make it appear as though they're figuring it out naturally. pretty pretty cleaver...

So much for the daily io9 speculation about this project. Now that I know it's got a release date it's like.. now what?
