Leonard Cohen wasn't in the comic.

No internet hyperbole is complete without the mention of vomit.

I think Ang Lee would have been a good director for the Watchmen and Zack Snyder would have been a good director for the Hulk.

I saw "In Good Company" on a transatlantic flight. It was like being a paralytic getting an unwelcome lap dance from Dennis Quaid.

And as Xenophobic Troll points out, the infernal handbasket we're riding in is an especially lucrative environment for preying on emasculated patriarchs worried about their livelihood.

@Josh is like Germany

It was a necessary sacrifice. We can't let Zack Snyder become this generation's Brett Ratner.

I saw them right as Her Majesty came out. I'm kind of sick of them now, but that show was a lot of fun.

The Tain wasn't Victorian.

I don't really think there's any irony to Dan Deacon. He's pretty much straight musical slapstick.

I enjoyed Medulla for about twenty minutes when it came out.

I like how, since being the antagonistic redneck in season 1, Sawyer has now become the main protagonist. Josh Holloway doesn't get enough credit for how well he's carried this character.

I thought the episode was on the weaker end of the season, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The fact that Sayid shot Ben right as I thought "Why doesn't he just snap the little fucker's neck?" brought me all sorts of delight and reminded me why I love this show.

Well, it's sort of irrelevant to me whether God is good or not. It's a matter of an omnipotent, omniscient God being so… small, I suppose. The best way to put it is that all the grand mysticism of BSG boiled down to, as I saw, one of those smug, SoCal deities from Xena Warrior Princess.

And here we get to the classic arguments about whether an omnipotent deity allowing evil despite a prior willingness to intervene anyway is just an asshole. It may be the atheism in me, but it's a distinction without a difference, IMO. Who is more responsible for the ride? The guy who presses the button or the guy who…

Richeliu, I think the focus on what constitutes a deus ex machina has really distracted from what we detractors found unsatisfying. Again, it wasn't the mystical force or "the deus" in general, it was said clunkiness. To borrow a post from another forum:

More importantly, however, alternatives to this ending are not inconceivable, and certainly, a little deus would have been fine if there had been more to it than "there's an all-powerful God, he has a plan, and congrats, you survived the ride." My main problem is that Moore's Divine Mary Sue was the least interesting…

But the point is that the omnipresence of an undefined, omnipotent god controlling everything for an unknown reason has not been known since the start. It's just a bit of good fortune that, in the end, the entire series amounted to a divine Rube Goldberg device.
