The best thing about Castle is that they're not just suddenly revealing their character's nerdiness. They actually develop it over time. OWN it.

There's argument to be made that fandom (and geek culture) is a religion: people with a common set of beliefs values, common rituals, and in a certain way a worship of fictional characters and canonic texts.

Surely that's the Unabomber, yes?

That's probably where this going, yes. Although it seems that the first guy that reported it actually was with his wife at the time.

Actually my understanding of the whole "legitimate rape" statements was that they come from two misconceptions some people seem to have: 1. that a lot of women who have sex with a guy and then regret it cry rape as an excuse as if it being a rape victim is all fun and games and 2. that all rapes are…

To be fair, such political "contracts" seem to be a popular election ploy around the world. Evidently, no one actually sticks to them after getting elected.

Oh, DUH. I should've looked closer.

I actually figured it had something to do with the terrain. But how do you get in and out of the farm? Does it have a special exit on the highway?

So many times I've wished I could just cut off…

Very nice!

Gives "jumped the shark" a whole new meaning, doesn't it?

Very nice! That's an Christian Orthodox church, where was the pic taken?

Tesla invented alternative current! We owe him affordable electricity in very home, on the street, and just about everything that relies on a power outlet!

And that that day comes soon enough!

What I don't get is - why start earlier and not just extend into Saturday?

The Giant's Drink is pretty essential, isn't it?

I imagine some of you folks are worried that I might bring io9's level of discourse down. This is not true. I will simply expand io9's level of discourse in a downward direction.

I can't find an official source anywhere, but I'm pretty sure it's MG, several other sites mentioned it.

I think the differences are a bit too wide for it to just be statistical noise. Of course the turn may not really be so dramatic, but 10% is way out of error margins. Most electoral polls were under that.

Last show? But whyyyyyy?
