The Orpheus/Eurydice parallel really got me. Even though it has a twist: in the Myth, Eurydice dies and goes to Hades. Orpheus loses her because he looks back - breaking his promise to the gods. Clara loses Danny because she looked back to her old life and then goes to the Nethersphere. The whole thing makes me wonder…

Hi, I'm Kirk. 22, (Space) Brasília, Brazil. I'm currently an intern at a PR agency and finishing my Communications bachelor. I like io9 because of how people write about what they appreciate and because the community is one of the nicest I've ever seen - maybe that's because of how many comments don't go through the…
The Morlocks could make an AWESOME TV show. They'd only need good make-up and character based stories. It could begin with a baby being dumped in the sewers and being rescued by one of them, which would be an easy way to present the characters and shock the audience and then show how they are inside. There are a lot…
I liked this episode, but the abortion metaphor was a bit lazy.If you want to approach this kind of themes, your position must be clear and sound. I think it would look better if they managed to remove the abortion theme, maybe saying it was some sort of cocoon instead of an egg.
Did he? I wasn't aware of that.
The map is entirely different, the world is different. It's another planet. Arguing using earth standards will probably lead to wrong conclusions. You can make some assumptions on what would develop based on climate and this kind of stuff. Anything beyond that, like saying "New World" in every sentence, would be damn…
I thought Star Wars already did it by itself.
My problems with this episode:
Elsa just looks badly photoshopped. Also, I feel bad for Georgina Haig. Fringe was great, but Once Upon A Time is now a convoluted mess that only endures because of cosplay and fanservice (hence Elsa).
Lucas¹ is an outstanding student. Like, a freaking genius. The audience has to buy it in the first five minutes, it's very important that they see him as some kind of Tony Stark. Put him in MIT or something along those lines. The lead actor has to be marvelous, someone that could make you believe in anything. This is…
Actually, the more you watch it, the more you see how bad it is. It's just a pile of concepts trying to mean something and failing with enough style to still look deep.
Now playing
Yeah, they're really futuristic and some of them are gorgeous, but they also have a lot of structural problems. I live in Brasília and we know how much trouble his work brings us on a daily basis. For example, the Cathedral has structural problems that make its glasses break once in a while. My university, also one of…
Just to be clear, I'm talking about the studios.
Why is it so difficult to try something new?
I really dislike how pessimistic people are about robots, the notion that machines will overcome humans and take over the world is nonsense. This is so biased by the notion of the western Judeo-Christian mythos (the whole creation betraying creator thing). People think that machines will do it because they are a…
So... Kamen Rider was a bad or what?
I've always find so amusing how people call Star Wars sci-fi. To me, it's just fantasy with magic people who bear shiny swords... but in space!
