I wanted to see someone put their mouth up to the dome and see if they could blow air through it.

It was pretty cool that Doug Jones got to do a little cameo as a teacher in that episode though. So you could look at it like, technically, Cochise was in Tom's 'dream' - he just put a human face on him.

By the way Charlie Jane, I think it might be 'Espheni' rather than 'Eshveni' - this was the spelling used in a…

Asuka's bed you mean.

Thank you very much, Charlie Jane. I hear that Bryan Cranston stood up and started unbuckling when the audience was told they were about to witness something special, and that he'd nicknamed it Godzilla. Also, he imitated the monster's roar? I need to hear this.

Now give us the scoop on Godzilla, please.

These two pieces of art and many more awesome ones are presented in the "Making of"/art book "Pacific Rim: Man, Machines and Monsters". I haven't read it in its entirety yet, but it's a cool book.

That was the satellite Chimpanz-III (seriously, that's actually what the ARG named it) falling into the ocean. Efforts to recover the satellite are what awoke the monster.

I sure feel like I've heard it a million times. Also, I might feel differently about it within the context of the film (which I'm going to see in just over 12 hours, as it's out today in Australia and New Zealand) but I can't say it really moves me that much. Honestly, I find the delivery sort of weird (Elba is…

I'm on lockdown now when it comes to watching footage from this film (not long to go anyway). We're getting as bombarded as we were with Prometheus. But I've bookmarked the shit out of this. I should be receiving the prequel comic and art book ("Pacific Rim: Man, Machines and Monsters") in the mail this week... I'm…

Just letting you know in advance - you may do well to prepare yourself for a dressing down. Evangelion comes up every time a Pacific Rim article is posted (to be honest, even as an Eva fan I'm starting to tire of it) and invariably it is followed up by either the fair mention that Eva didn't pioneer the aspects it has…

Interesting! I did some Googling, and found some information about an 'indigenous dog' called the kuri or peropero, that I'd never heard of before (though looking at the stuffed remains, it looks familiar somehow. Raggedy lil' bugger). I'm guessing it was brought to NZ by the Maori, and wasn't already there, but who…

Cool, I never knew about this! A bear?! Wow, so many questions about that.

If NZ was magically reset to only its native species, the only mammal present would be bats. I still feel sad that the arrival of other mammals decimated so many species of birds - despite that, I used to love looking at stuffed Huia and the…

Yet apparently it's fine for Dr. Who nerds to mention that show anywhere, at any time, regardless of the extremely slim relation an article might have to the franchise. At least you know where us Eva fans are likely to make our references, so you can prepare your eye muscles before you need to get rollin' them peepers…

Yeah, I really want more Lost Room. I wonder if they've finally got the planned book/comic under way... I'll have to check up on that.

It could even work as a video game, something like "Tales from the Lost Room", perhaps set before the series, where you are part of the battle between warring factions. Who knows what…

What is up with Henry in that picture?!!

They did give Big Dog a head of sorts in the end, so it could fling cinder blocks: http://io9.com/5987805/darpas…

The reactions are great sources for avatar pictures. I used a picture of Kuroyanagi with his head cocked at an odd angle, with flames shooting from his mouth (I believe it was his reaction to the turtle bread, spinning and breathing fire like Gamera), which was so weird looking people always asked about it.

Never mind, I linked the Twitter name to another user further up. Sorry.

Thanks for clueing me in - it's a *slight* bit more plausible now. I guess the idea is that there's still a bunch of dark Jedi out there, but only two of them can officially take the title of Sith? Yeah, guess I'll go with believing that.

Ah, was it you that followed me on Twitter? :D

After School are great, too - Flashback made my list of my top songs of 2012. Orange Caramel's Lipstick was damn catchy, too.

I love J-pop too, though I admit most of my fave artists are Korean. Right now I'm listening to Perfume's latest performance. And yeah, you can't…
