Please tell me it was the episode where Cindy Sanders doesn't like The Jerk.

I co-own a comics and games store. I'm amazed by how many people love board games, but treat it like a dirty little secret. I swear, we need a Masters & Johnson-style study about people's true geeky habits to prove how much of it is actually mainstream.

I think they're underestimating how many of the book's fans are a lot older than its actual target audience.

All the descriptions of fashion and hair and stuff was actually important to the story. That stuff usually bores me to tears, but it helped explain exactly how they were executing their strategy with the players, and it also helps inform the reader about the decadent culture of the Capital.

I say give it a try. I know plenty of adults who love it, including me.

It is! I've only read the first book, but it made me cry a couple of times and I'm dying to see the movie. If I'd read this in middle school, it would have been my worldview-bending Catcher in the Rye. But I'm 35, so mostly it just made me realize how deeply my own childhood experiences of near-poverty and government…

It's not really girly at all. My 10-year-old cousin (a boy) loved it. There's a lot of adventure and survival tactics and hunting and killing, and I would think Katniss (the main character) is the kind of girl that a lot of boys would be very, very into.

That was one of the biggest laughs of the night, and so simple.

I'm not sure she's planning to continue the pregnancy. In the earlier scene, they mention that she's only seven weeks pregnant, and she's talking about having a beer, which makes me think she's going to have an abortion and try to make a clean break from Raylan.

I also like The Darkness.

I also don't play cards, and I HATED this movie when I saw it because I found it 100% impenetrable since I didn't understand WTF was going on most of the time and also didn't like the characters and hoped bad things would happen to them. I also hoped I would be able to understand whether bad things had happened.

It probably depends on what kind of comics you're offering them, and how old they are, and whether they like to read in the first place. I co-own a comic book store, and we have a nice all-ages section. Kids love it! The trick is to help a kid find a book that interests them personally. (That trick also works for…

I wouldn't GO see this movie, but based on the still above, I might watch it on mute on cable. Not my usual MO, but I'm not made of stone.

Thank you! I guess my 9-year-old self was not paying attention at all. Probably multitasking, drawing a picture of a horse or something.

I remember watching this as a kid, but given my family's religious and economic situations at the time, I'm not a bit surprised it didn't seem particularly dark to me. Hell, watching FRAILTY is like going home.

I saw him at a convention not long before they started shooting this season, and I got the impression he'd signed on only knowing a basic concept for the story. (If you get a chance to see him do a con appearance, go. HIGHLY entertaining.)

He was the perfect TV boyfriend for me when I was 17-18. Now it would drive me crazy, but listening to him back then jumpstarted my ability to look at things in a different way. And the episode where the town holds their election deeply informed the way I ran our precinct when I was an election judge. It's a sacred…

Nice write-ups! I've added your blog to my RSS feed.

I actually quit towards the end of the first season, as it didn't hold my interest enough, but I caught the first couple of episodes of this season on On Demand and got hooked. I need to go back and watch Season 2, but it's definitely a stronger and more interesting show than it was back in S1.

Like any show, Farscape has some flaws, but it's still one of my favorites for what it got right. I disagree that Ben Browder was ever dull; I was always very engaged by his performance, and he had ample opportunity to play just about every possible beat on the emotional spectrum.
