Oh, the Riza episode.  The worst episode of Deep Space Nine there ever was.  Though I still joke with my wife whenever someone gets uptight that it was because they killed a boy playing soccer as a child.

Wait, so there is a Rise of the Planet of the Apes sequel, and it is not in a surprise twist that "Tom Cruise is the last man on Earth (or IS HE!)" movie?

I'm sure this has been mentioned elsewhere in the comments, but if so, I just have to repeat. . .

Torpedos Against Tornados
But hey, he's actually done something respectable in the last week too. Assuming it is not just a front to score extra coke money (and really, don't you have enough Charlie?), the website he started to raise money for tornado victims is good of him. Heck, even if it is just a desperate grab…

Speaking as someone in that are (who luckily did not lose my home/loved ones, but knows plenty of people who did), I appreciate the sentiment, but Japan is still hurting pretty bad too.

Sped up Baby
So, the pregnancy was accelerated and a fetus became a baby in a day. I don't expect it to be the case, since the whole thing is mostly just a plot speeder-upper, but can anyone say Advanced Aging Disease? What happens if next season opens up with Fauxlivia dropping Robin Williams off at school?

I liked it
Glad to see this review. Probably one of the best films I saw at my local film festival that year (though that isn't necessarily saying that much). A solid B. Though I couldn't help but be a little bitter and jealous towards the filmmakers, since they seem to be a couple of rich Brentwood-Nashville kids…

Well, as for the hospital bed in the safe, it is the mark's subconscious that puts the whatever it is in there (the architect builds the world, and the mark's subconscious fills in the gaps, such as the secrets in a safe, since that's where secrets go), so it could hardly be the architect's fault. I guess you could…

I did my part, I listed it on my Nielson survey! Along with Futurama. Fightin the good fight.

The beauty of this episode to me was that "the South" wasn't really that important as a specific region. Really it could have taken place in any city other than New York. Seriously, in the world of this show have there been any normal well-adjusted people? Other than the gun thing (which is fine by me), there were…

Hippie parents. That's the honest answer.

You see, its like Inception! Only nothing like that!

Going back to my point about not doing atheists any favors, I certainly exaggerated the level of vitriol occurring in most of these posts, but I still think my basic point stands. As an atheist who has no problem with other people believing in religion, it seems to me that the smugness with which atheists talk down…

Jeez people…

Geo-duck
I can't stop playing Geo-Duck! I highly recommend finding the porta-potty (somewhere on the street level I think). Much reduces (i.e. eliminates) the frustration of searching for a save-point for 30 minutes only to fall through the ground into the gray-zone of death.

Me too! So we're like Dublin? Or the UK? And no bad teeth analogies? At least that's a step up from our usual comparisons.
Actually, I'm actually proud that we seemed to beat his expectations. Sounds like we were better than Dublin at least.

British TV?
But its still ok to pirate British television isn't it? That's not hurting us, and its only fair after what BP did to us, right?

Yay
That is all.

Oh, and also want to give a shout out to Vandermeer's Finch, which, unlike much of his other stuff, literary aspirations aside (and I'm kicking myself for continually adding that as if its a bad thing) is totally readable and enjoyable purely on a weird-ass crime novel level. For more extreme weird-ass surreal…

Sounds like we're mostly on the same page, though I obviously don't have the same trouble with the overuse of words like vertiginous and grotesquery.
Mostly I just posted again to be obnoxious and point out that I just so happened to pick up Wolfe's books of the New Sun for a re-read, coincidentally just before…
