Not really: the EC was introduced as an appeasement to southern states which had a much higher percentage of a non-voting population — i.e. slaves — compared to the northern ones.

The older you get, the more chances you have to do something bad that offsets something good on the scales.

apparently, he just kept it and nobody told him to return it.

aaw, so you're the only other person who watched Ghostbusters 2!

it's not Episode I-III levels of bad, but yeah: it's still pretty bad.

"Harlan Ellison really tore this movie another asshole in one of his books" - I'm shocked. that never happens with Harlan Ellison.

actually, I don't think you know what masterpiece means.

shut it!

It's finished!

it's probably the greatest 22 minutes in the history of television.

I am so, so, sad. the concept of a police procedural with magic instead of science sounded such an obviously good concept that I was surprised nobody thought about it.

I really liked the Virtuality pilot: the cast was excellent, the execution was really good, and the production values were pretty high. on the other hand, the story was utterly ridiculous, and I strained my brain just to keep up with it for the length of the pilot: I would have probably lost the will to live midway…

somebody on the internets needs to make this happen.

I enjoyed it. the first two acts were pretty much in solid A territory, and the representation of mental illness (and its effects not only on individuals but on families as well) was pretty much spot on: I've been witness to too many discussions on drug side effects to know that the dinner scene with the first meeting…

@avclub-5751693536add9cb4b813590b0fedbf9:disqus you probably want to watch a bunch of episodes from Season 1: the Pilot; Safe; Ability; Inner Child (but mostly because it becomes relevant to the end of Season 5, which is by and large one of the greatest moves the show has done); The Road not Taken and There's More…

SyFy UK; the ads were on the sides of many a bus, especially central routes.

halfway through they'll get into the meaty part of the overarching plot; the last four episodes are particularly good at being part procedural and part mythology.
