I've recently checked that show out, but only saw the first three series and the Christmas special (which we saw between series two and three and is actually after Anniversary).

Well they didn't technically die then.  They just awaited the impending doom.  The next few seasons could have been their society on a slow descent into extinction.

He can write a book because he one can do so.  It doesn't have much to do with his resume.  We're all free to write books, and it's getting easier and easier for just about anyone to publish it.

I became vegetarian in 2010 and am very lucky to be one now.  But some things still require a bit of compromise.  I've been thinking of additional things I could do, like be more conscious of where my clothing comes from.  My most recent pair of boots were made from recycled materials, but in the future I may choose…

Exactly.  He's on vegan literature, but as far as I know he's still vegetarian.  He had a rippin' good recipe for mashed potatoes that included dairy products.

@Martha (ETA I replied to the wrong post. Not only that but degrees are important.  It's mostly the phenomenom of factory farming, only a century old, that had done the majority of the damage (and which is specifically the kind of treatment being referred to here).

This review is one of only two negative reviews by a critic on Rotten Tomatoes.  I'm kind of surprised a B- is considered negative though.

It was the way Sheldon pitched the game to her that threw me off then.

I agree about owning what one likes.  I don't apologize for liking stuff.  I'm just glad there are others that feel the same way.

I'm in a fan animated series that I eventually started to co-write and the last three episodes are basically Star Trek: JAG.  But the problem is the animation takes forever so there have only been three episodes so far, none of which are the trial.

My uncle used to nickname me and my brother after them.

I've thought this for a very long time.  Cable networks started out showing reruns of stuff, then there were niche networks that catered to a specific interest, then those networks (even the ones where the interest was non-fictional), somehow shoehorned original narrative programming based on that interest instead of…

I really dislike that about the 21st century.  A couple of years ago I was poking around on Wikipedia and found that there's something of a backlash movement called New Sincerity that has formed to react against post-modern irony.  It seems like the only movement that could actually replace post-modernism.

The computer version of the Encyclopedia was called the Omnipedia and had an animated warp scale chart.  It also had lots of quicktime clips from the show.  I'm trying to remember how I got it.  I think it came with Star Trek: Borg, or I just got both that year for Christmas.  Simon & Schuster made some Trek products…

Are you saying we should…KEEP reading?

I liked the idea of a pop song because it was supposed to be about how much closer to the present day this show was.  But the choice was definitely wrong.

Now I have to check mine.  The cases in the episode looked very slim, like they were part of a set, but it could be a bootleg release, ultra obscure with super-secret special features.  Maybe it's even a different region release.  I could see them having either a region-free machine, or even going as far as getting a…

Also, the squirt gun seems like the type of thing that would have a price tag on it already.  Did Stuart slyly tear it off before "negotiating" Sheldon to $200?

Yes, but how intuitive is 3-D chess if all one knows is regular chess?  My guess would be that it's not, and based on my own limited experience I'm not sure I know how to transfer the rules.

I liked both episodes pretty well because I think they've learned how to tweak Sheldon's character to work better.  He's still basically the same, but I get the impression that we actually get to see things from his point of view, especially when he called Penny out for not taking his confession seriously.  I took…
