@avclub-e2fb52675e06ed2b9c143270ad44bdc2:disqus , I don't disagree that sci-fi could use more exploration of religion. I think that DS9 pulled it off very well - the prophets could be looked at as both sci-fi and religious elements, and they didn't shy away from exploring the tension between those perspectives.  
BSG,…

@drdarke:disqus , I'm not sure that taking down the DOJ's public webpage really qualifies as bringing them to their knees. Similarly, I'm not sure that arresting people who were pretty obviously breaking lots of laws qualifies as fascism.
In fact, it sort of undercuts the whole argument for SOPA - they can already do…

Totally SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

Well, it's obvious that he loves jesus the most. Many experts in the fields of christoformatics and christianalytics believe that win/loss records are the easiest way to measure Christ-love (which is generally expressed as jesus boners per touchdown).

@avclub-ecda3877c5e8e669117f90140b683b0e:disqus : "Evolution explains a lot, but in no way answers where it all started."
Along the same lines, special relativity is pretty great, but it no way explains why hot dogs come 6 to a pack but buns come in packs of 8.

Hey everybody! We're all gonna get laid!

I have Li-Fraumeni syndrome. It really started off the whole anti-apoptosis movement. You've probably never heard of it.

In the hour of Southland Tales that I paid attention to before losing interest, Scott seemed like the only actor who had any sort of handle on what was happening. All the other performances had a "I have no fucking clue what's going on, so I'm going to recite my lines as generically as possible" vibe.

If there's one thing that pot heads are known for, it's their unrelenting demands for punctuality.

I have no clue about Peter Jackson personally, but his on-screen depictions of non-white folks have always been … somewhat awkward, let's say.

Nolan, Jackson, and Raimi = indie, low-budget filmmakers who, when given ridiculously huge budgets, went on to make successful, high quality blockbusters. He spent like 3 paragraphs talking about this, so I'm not sure why it counts as "name-dropping".

The explanation I've heard is that it's not the FAA, but the FCC that doesn't want your phone on - when you're in the air, you have a clear line of sight to hundreds cell towers, and end up using an insane amount of bandwidth.

It's probably for the best that it doesn't sound like Vern Schillinger is narrating the introduction.

FUCK YOU @avclub-ba9fab001f67381e56e410575874d967:disqus

@avclub-5a1c0dcc8243c086c74ee944052f6f0f:disqus , just that fact that you said "I like Last Christmas." is enough to make me irrationally angry. It's not fucking catchy, not only do the dumbass meaningless treacly lyrics not rhyme, they don't even have the same fucking rhythm as the music, each section of the music…

Seven of Nine's tits caused Barack Obama to become president

@avclub-c32c385098594487a303db83e33f2ea1:disqus , you do realize the incredible irony in what you're saying, right? My sarcasm meter might be on the fritz, so I'm just checking to make sure.

I miss @GherkinstheManservant:disqus . I wonder what his response to this comment would be?

Anyone who dislikes Christopher Kimball gets a like from me. He's like a human-sized package of smarm held together with a bowtie.
