I'm not sure which was tougher, Twin Peaks vs. MST3K or DS9 vs. Pushing Daisies. It's hard to choose between serialized dramas and quirky comedies!

I'm not sure it's meant to, though, is it? It's not the Anthropic Hypothesis or the Anthropic Theory. It's use to us is there in the final section of this article. It's more of a philosophical concept than scientific one, meant to give the misinformed or unimaginative the proper sense of perspective. Because…

But if it DOES state it, whimsically or otherwise, then it's not really something that you can hold up as an argument AGAINST the WAP, is it? As far as I can tell, fine-tuning isn't an integral part of the WAP. The basic idea of it is pretty much what Adams said. We observe a universe that allows for the existence of…

But as far as I can tell, and maybe I'm misunderstanding the WAP, the Adams quote is pretty much a statement of the WAP. The universe only seems tailored for life to observe it because, if the universe was any different, humanity wouldn't be around to observe it. That is to say, if the hole wasn't there or was…

But isn't that quote (a quote I've always loved and have used often) in itself just a statement of the Weak Anthropic Principle? Or are you just arguing against the SAP?

It seems as if they choose these bands based on what's on my iTunes. I am okay with this.

This looks awesome and all, but it's a Shane Black Iron Man movie; where are my quips? I demand quips!

I will give J. J. Abrams everything I have in the bank if he can find a way to make "Mofferences" canon.

Rocky Horror references are too obvious, so I'll go with a Clue:

Statler: There sure are a lot of bad guys in The Amazing Spider-Man 2!

Yeah, that makes sense. I'm just expressing bafflement at the idea that there are people (commenting on this article and in other places) for whom giving up on food doesn't sound horrific but appealing.

I totally get the arguments for it. It makes all sorts of sense. I'm just sort of surprised by the amount of enthusiasm for the idea, which I've seen voiced in other places besides this article. To me (and I get that this is totally a personal, subjective thing) giving up on food as anything beyond sustenance is…

Color me shocked that there's such a demand for this. I couldn't even imagine eating the same thing two days in a row, much less all the time. This is one of those sentiments that I understand in abstract, intellectual sort of way but seems alien to me when I consider it practically.

This really is a bad day for Oklahoma and science, isn't it?

One of the TV reviewers on The AV Club suggests that the best way to get into B5 is to just go ahead and skip a whole lot of the dreck from season one, offering a helpful guide as to which episodes are worth watching and which to avoid. That's the way I did it and it worked for me.

Not only is this super clever, but the artist clearly has the same music taste as I do, which makes the whole endeavor more fun on my end.

Alternatively, "Fred Armison Quietly Waits For Carrie Brownstein To Realize That The Man She Really Wanted Was Starring In A Sketch Show With Her The Whole Time".

You know, I never realized before how much Hugh Jackman and Garfield have in common.

You're obviously forgetting about his important discoveries in the field of star formation (they come from burning trash).

I don't think most film criticism tries to justify itself as anything other than informed opinion. Criticism isn't about "I liked/hated this and so should you." It's people who are well-versed in an art form sharing their response to a work and trying to articulate what it is about it that creates that response. It's…
