some places only had one guy do it and he was the pariah. i think the last sin eater on record in the isles was in the early part of the 1900s and he was pretty much shunned. Not sure exactly where that was, but i remember reading about it in some random book in my college library.

OH...I love this movie. Guilty pleasure. I guess i just love how they actually acknowledge that he wouldn't know how to talk to these people and that common languages might crop up here and there (like greek in this case...or is it latin? I forget). Mind you the scene where antonio learns their language in the…

God, i can't believe i know the answer to this. I want to preface this with i have not finished the series. I put up with 2 books in an effort to support a friend who was getting shit from our other friends, but after a while my BS meter could only take so much, she filled me in with the rest of the story. Anyway,…

I have griped about this ever since they switched to spelling it SYFY. The teacher in me cringes at it. Anyway as much as i miss shows like farscape, battlestar, caprica, and SGU, The current shows, Eureka, warehouse 13 and alphas match up with their earlier originals like The Invisible Man and Lexx far better than…

she was pregnant when he died. It's in the comics.

i grew up in a small college town (2 colleges actually). I graduated high school with a class of forty students (no one dropped out, we started out small, we ended with the same number, albeit some of the faces had changed). our population was tiny when the schools weren't in and yeah I've been catcalled ONCE in my…

you should try sons of anarchy. Then you can have the katy sagal tri-fecta lol. Seriously though Sons of Anarchy is amazing. And it's fun (as a lit major) to figure out how it fits with Hamlet (as it's loosely based on hamlet, i stress LOOSELY).

am i the only one on here that actually doesn't mind walking like this? I mean i am not a huge swayer. This isn't like Mae West or anything, but i just walk. My butt does what it does. They can look or not look, that's their eyeballs's problem. I've got bigger worries, like deadlines, taking care of my family,…

$%(*&! that should say DART with a T...i don't even know HOW i hit the k. I erased a line somewhere around there, i'm gonna go with that excuse #headdesk.

HA! i was just thinking about that. Oddly enough the first time i ever heard of Shrinkage was during that episode. Mind you i was about 12 or 13 when it aired.

you know, for all the flack that cloud atlas got about having white actors play asian characters, you don't hear a lot of jabs at James Bond for being able to "pass" as Japanese in this film. Granted this happened YEARS ago when really you couldn't toss a dark without hitting a film that had a racist moment crop up,…

Yeah the if the question is Westros vs Middle Earth, i'm sorry but MIddle Earth wins. They have their $*&% together from the get go (each race communicates well, well except for you know the bad guys, obviously) so the fellowship would easily gather resources and be ready to go. Westros has broken up into various…

She's not a witch, she's a time Lord. ;)

it's a shame that hollywood just hasn't quite found its footing with CGI yet. it's getting there, but they just haven't quite got it that CGI is great for backgrounds, large cinematic shots and hulking creatures (like the most recent attempt at the hulk) while stuff like predator, xenomorphs and the above zombies…

wow, thanks for calling us Sci-fi geek girls, uggos. I'll go crawl back into my dungeon now. "yessshhh, mashtaaah, shoooo sorrrry." #hoorayforstereotypes!

ROFL...omg..ew..what is wrong with you? lol

yeah, that's what i was thinking. Man i was looking forward to ER rooms full of people not feeling well and then nurses suddenly realizing that the dead were walking. the running people would make more sense if they were actual humans running from slow moving zombies and thus knocking everyone and everything over in…

yup, nielsen families are the OHIO of the ratings world. I've been asked to do a nielsen book 3 times, the last two were last year (no idea why they asked me twice in one year). The book version has you fill out the shows you watch. Of course we've switched over to watching tv via netflix and hulu years ago so…

so the strip looks like a penis? No one noticed this during the plans, or did they just not care? I mean i'm fine with it, but okkk. Also, just looking at this i see flooding and tsunami issues. Is there going to be a sea wall in this bazillion dollar structure? It seems to me that if you're going to spend a lot…

interesting. So 1) this question garnered the MOST comments that I've ever received on this site, so that's interesting. Clearly people are passionate about responding to this.... and 2) the other thing i noticed was the majority of folks responded with a resounding, "it's ok... I keep hoping it will turn around…
