Uh, Steel wasn't officially created until the 1850s. However, they do find high carbon steel bits and pieces going back to older times. The problem is until you can precisely control the heat of your furnance and understand the principals of making it, its very difficult. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/n…

One of the best games ever created. Very original, funny, clever and it doesn't involve killing anyone.

The Shire does seem out of step in a lot of ways with the rest of Middle Earth. I think that's an artifact of Tolkien writing the Hobbit first as a kids book then trying to fit it in with his grand story in the later books. The Hobbit seems to have been written as more of a lark. But since that Anglo-Saxon period…

The Ancient Romans used the word corn to as a term for grains. It does sound like he meant it that way. But Taters is another issue. Also, I believe he mentioned Pepper somewhere. That came from the far east in olden days, http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Corn

Corn came from the west. Lembas is cornbread but made with a kind of holy corn from the undying lands and is not to be consumed by mortals for too long. Tolkien has a lot of anachronisms, including Steel. If you look at his stories they seem to be based in an age like 1000AD around the Anglo-Saxon era. Which was the…

Ehh—They left out the awesome jazz bridge in the middle of the 60s Batman theme

Harsh Realm was "inspired" by my comic series of the same title which involved a pocket universe. Chris Carter decided to make it VR which was a huge mistake, among other reasons, because it debuted right after the Matrix so it came off looking like an imitation. If he stuck closer to my story he could have avoided…

He weirdly reminds me of the psycho kid from Christine, as if Stephen King has a type of dark haired teens who used to pick on him in JR high that he's now getting revenge on.

I keep asking myself why I keep watching. Car crashes come to mind.

I rewatched the Altman film recent after Robin Williams passed and I felt it would have worked if not for the director. He was tome deaf to the material but Williams and Long were doing great work. This could work since it's just a demo. I would like a little more Popeye asides which Williams did so well in his…

Rocks the size of small cars could be flying at you from that distance and clouds of radioactive ash and shards of rock fragments sharp as glass

Yes, but hasn't had the moments she's been getting this seasom

This is the episode where the New Doctor jells with the show. I love the almost Monty Python approach here, and Clara gets to be the clever girl who we know she could be. Capaldi is the stroppy doctor, which is great

Moffat delivers Sfar Trek Voyager solutions. Only smarter but the same kind of techno-babble. He also cheats a lot to get himself out of corners he paints himself into (see Sherlock's return from the dead). Let's hope they pick other Who fan showrunners but without the peccadilloes the last two guys had.

Neil Gaiman is too busy but he would be great. I would love Alan Moore to do it but we know that ain't happening.

You do realize most Arabs are ethnically white and they see themselves that way? Racism is alive and well in the Arab world, BTW

Moffat seemed to rule the Rani out in earlier interviews, He also said the Master was dead but that means nothing as he's died before.

I'm tired of Daleks but this was a decent one for the reasons stated in the article. I really, really hope Missy is the Master because he's too going a foil to just be written off like he was. And I hope when they bring him back it's not as another Joker clone, which is what Simm reminded me of, even though I think he…
