See, you've hit on exactly what is so much better about Canada:

Klaus is the worst original. The only good thing I can imagine about him getting a spinoff would be him not having time to be on TVD anymore. Give me Rebekah and/or Elijah any day.

I've always been in the GTA and I've never heard the term.

Do you watch the show or are you just familiar with the basic premise? Every other episode references familiar content from the genre. The setting may not be science fictional, but the source material most definitely is.

Grammar win. +1

I was actually shocked at how much I enjoyed it. Going in all I'd heard were horrible things. I had to drag a friend kicking and screaming to go see it at all. We both thought it was a perfectly enjoyable, standard Saturday night at the movies.

You obviously didn't even see Battleship.

There's an even less confusing way to illustrate this. Write something on a piece of paper and try to read it in the mirror. The text is reversed, obviously.

That was my first thought as well.

I genuinely don't understand why I watched all four minutes of that.

Yes and no.

I'm not all that familiar with education in Europe. In North America psychology is one of the flakiest undergrads you can take. It's full of those kids who went to university because it's expected, but they don't have the focus for anything difficult. You always get the impression that they're taking psychology…

The fact that you're research is falling under MA rather than an MSc somewhat reinforces my perception. Historically at least, psychology relates to human behaviour. Any dictionary will give you that definition. Studying behaviour has inherent flaws that make it unreliable.

Direct stimulus response would fall more under neuroscience or neurobiology, which I would say are more on par with physical sciences.

I disagree. It's not splitting hairs, and it's not just an issue of hardness.

Science is all about why and how things work. Why not? We study attraction, aggression, happiness, love, rage, and all kinds of social and physical development.

This movie is all about people jumping off things

Maybe this has been covered in the comics, and if so: do tell.

I really hope they lose that idea. It was cute in the 30's, but the more we move towards gritty realistic comic book movies, the less you can suspend your disbelief on that.

Don't use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice?
