Also, sorry, I'm not trying to sound like a smart arse or anything, sometimes I just can't help myself when it comes to correcting punctuation. It can be a real problem.

Semi-colons can be used in place of commas in lists where the things being listed have commas in them, to avoid confusion. So his usage is correct.

Welcome to io9, Rob, and thanks for bringing FFF with you.

It sounds to me like you're saying that if adults read YA books then fine, but it should be in just a casual way before they dismiss them as 'children's books', and go and read something more literary. But the thing is, there are so many people who don't read books at all, and if it becomes so trendy and such a part…

I'm sure we had some 70s curtains like that when I was a kid.

I remember like the 90s remake when I was a kid. I do wonder if the whole 'band of mutants' trope is a bit overdone now though.

Yeah, like The Hobbit, To Kill a Mockingbird, Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, Tom Sawyer, The Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the Flies, Oliver Twist... all those books that adults never read until Twilight came along. Right?

Oh god you're right! If you turn your head to the side so that Elena is upright it looks completely absurd.

Meanwhile Australia is aiming to use 20% renewable energy by 2020. I'm glad we're headed in the other direction.

I think the Middle Earthlings would win every fight except for Frodo vs Tyrion. I thought maybe The Mountain could win until I imagined Gimli hacking him about the knees.

It's not like NASA would just fly up to the moon with a big bag of money and leave it there. Most of the money budgeted for this would probably, in the end, go in to creating jobs and educating people.

My son just finished watching Jurassic Park for the first time about ten minutes ago (sat on the couch wrapped in a blanket with his eyes as wide as I've ever seen them).

I like this theory. It pretty much makes sense of all the things that I was thinking didn't quite make sense, like how Sam had a normal life with Jessica, and not checking his phones all year. The phones especially, because yeah he surely wouldn't have left Kevin hanging, but mostly, Sam didn't know that Dean had…

I just looked up 'stevedore' in the dictionary, and realised that Buffy's mum thinking Giles was a stevedore in the sack is so much grosser than I always assumed it was.

Intriguing, what are you thinking?

You might just have more empathy than most people, you might also find that you find yawns particularly contagious, because empathetic people are more susceptible to "catching" yawns.

Yeah they were really creepy. I wish now that I'd taken photos.

They're really not that scary, in Australia they live in people's houses, and little kids dare each other to pick them up.

One time I was visiting a cave in Thailand, up in the mountains near the Myanmar border, and around the entrance of the cave there were hundreds of daddy longleg-like spiders (I'm from Australia so my daddy longlegs are cellar spiders, I guess), they were all in clumps, walking over each other and making these…

I liked it. I didn't get any of the comic book references, but it was pretty obvious who's going to turn out to be a villain anyway. I thought they managed to fit a lot of exposition and backstory in without it ever getting confusing.
