Well, in my own experience, our choice was to terminate under controlled medical circumstances, or face an extremely risky pregnancy with an overwhelming chance of third trimester miscarriage. In the 1-in-a-million chance my wife was able to carry to term, our child would have had a life measured in hours, not…

I'm really hoping that somewhere, he's been secretly filming dozens upon dozens of short clips of himself in different costumes, delivering one-liners related to various Marvel properties.

I really enjoyed it, but could never stop thinking that it would have been SO much better if they'd just ponied up the royalty fee and gone directly with a Dies the Fire series.

Yeah, I'll give you that. I really would have liked to see another 2 or 3 seasons, but all in all, it was a good take on the "brave new world" resolution.

Well, there's always the adrenaline rush- If a normal person under exceptional stress can accomplish a superhuman feat of strength like lifting a car, then what could you expect of someone who can do that to begin with?

Now there's a matchup.

Yeah- With the kind of subtext the original movie had (haven't read the book) I can't help thinking that's maybe a little too dark for TV.

I believe everyone did.

There is no reason for Oklahoma or any state to be involved in marriage.

The controlled demolition stuff is ridiculous- But there's one thing that I was never able to reconcile about that day.

We had an awesome drinking game that revolved around Zima.

I'm a scotch man myself, so no biggie. If it turns out there's a shortage of Laphroaig or Macallan, then I'll be worried.

Nobody ever seriously discusses the music of Charles Manson.
Nobody ever brings up Adolf Hitler the artist.
Nobody thinks about the joy and laughter that John Wayne Gacy brought to children when he worked as a birthday clown.

Right here:

there's always talk of the spin-off, and the Beeb would do it in a heartbeat… but… I dunno.... I always kind of feel that nothing should stay in the Doctor's life. You can have River for a few years, but then River has to go...

If there's one thing that Marvel has done right, it's to recognize that "superhero" is a plot device, not a genre. So far they've done a war movie (Captain America), high fantasy (Thor 2), a political thriller (Cap 2), a space opera (Guardians of the Galaxy), and an action film (Avengers).

Fuck Apple's shitty industrial design. I say that as someone who uses a Mac on a daily basis for music, video, and design.

I'm not entirely sure where the problem is with this. I mean, don't get me wrong- It's in poor taste and laughably stupid- But there's nothing illegal about it.

You look at that, and you look at the "new capitalism" of strip mining the wealth out of companies and bankrupting the empty shells-
