It's called The Pandorica because Amy, as a child, had a book that called Pandora's Box the Pandorica. Or she mis-remembered it. Anyway, the crack in the wall soaked it in and made it real, just like Plastic Romans.

It would've been amazing. I loved season one a lot, but season two was goddamn magnificent and intense in terms of the plot unfolding faster. It pains me so to think about that show, because if it had aired today HBO would've never cancelled it.

Or something being the operative word; they never said.

Yeah, but it can't just be that. That wouldn't take a thousand years to figure out.

It's suggested, and I have my own little theory on it, but it was never said. I refuse to believe that the loophole was "make someone else do it for you", because that seems like a simple enough plan that shouldn't take a thousand years to come up with.

Everyone keeps shouting Game of Thrones, Doctor Who (the storyline's not over, guys) and "What is the island?" on Lost (which was explained). Me?

That's what you get for trying to be nice! :P

That's fine.

Those two would be amazing to read!

Not making fun, but it's... it seems blunt. Like, "you can't do this, this is preposterous, no, no, NOPE, no". It seems like the article is missing the point of science fiction, sitting on its high-and-mighty chair of science.

If the movie isn't about how the technology works, and they say things that don't contradict other things they've established, I don't care. Science can be as factual or nonsensical as it wants to, unless science is the point of a story.

Ah, yes! Now I remember that.

Thank you! I made this exact point, but in too many words.

If you discuss Fight Club with a group of people, I guarantee you one of them will say "What if Tyler Durden is the original?". The theory doesn't really need the science to work.

Of course I'm overreacting. io9 is still a wonderful site, filled with great people, both those writing and those commenting.

Science fiction is about looking at humanity, at ourselves, through a different lens. It doesn't matter if the lens they're looking at us through is plausible or implausible - all that matters are what the characters are feeling.

Oh god I hate this stuff so much.

It's also an Arrested Development joke.

Now THAT's how you get a stew goin', baby!

See, this sounds like an interesting film. Sad they had to make it a book instead.
