Oh, and if the whole journey of the Battlestar was some kind of divine destiny, that would mean the nuking of billions of people on the colonies was the manifestation of divine will as well. Nice one, BSG god.

+1 to you, Astral Weeks. I don't know if it was the "spirituality" so much as the Deus Ex Machina, literally, that ruined me as a fan of BSG and Ron Moore forever. And that was before the product placement for toy robots.

Mr Jonse, you're probably right in that it would be hard to continue the series with Michael having killed Fredo… But I would say that killing Fredo was the perfect end to Michael's character arc.

As Count Baltar! Take that, 1978! Colicos-Vision!

What a bout Blechhulas?

"Armageddon" seems to have a lot of the Mutually-Assured-Destruction cold war philosophy ticking around it; the big board and computers that Kirk destroys are certainly like the War Room in Dr. Strangelove.

Invisibility is possible
This article deals with a computer simulation that shows invisibility 'cloaks' are possible: http://www.sciencedaily.com…

I think there was also quite a bit of shoegaze-stealing, at least of the sonic heft of the heavier buzzy shoe-gaze bands like JAMC. The multi-tracked guitars on Smashing Pumpkins and the Butch Vig production on Nevermind come to mind; not to mention the fact that Vig's group Garbage ended up sounding quite a bit like…

They decided they were better off dead.

Only 30 seconds for the song clip?!!
Not that I'm complaining really, but it would be nice to know if all of that repeated stuff kept on repeating. (love it, though!)

Oh sure, the guy wearing 300 dollar shoes is going to listen to something recorded in somebody's living room.

Impromptu J, explain this:

"God" != The Laws of Nature
"God" is an unfortunate linguistic construct that gets changed all the time, while leaving in some of its previous meaning. Biblical gods of the bronze age and deist gods of the 18th century have nothing in common with the pythagorean theorem. In fact, discovering the workings of the world…

I don't think anyone else mentioned it, but there is a really excellent interview with Alan Moore in Salon. http://www.salon.com/books/…

I'm with you Meanderthal. For me, the most important thing is actually the tone of the book, not the plot. I wouldn't mind seeing the book radically cut down — into say, the story of Rorschach — as long as the contemplative, ironic tone of the book showed up.

It should be called Heroes, and take place in Berlin in the late 70s. David Bowie, Brian Eno, Iggy Pop, and Lou Reed gain superpowers from sharing the same heroin needle. They lay down clangy art-rock tracks by day, and then fight crime and fuck each other by night.

HBO League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Animated Miniseries!
Hey, they did it for Spawn, which also had a crappy live-action movie accompaniment.

Doubt! DOUBT!
