Lest we forget, Transparent Aluminum was brought to our world by a certain Scottish Engineer back in 1986.

Wasn't The Martian supposed to be a comedy? It sure wasn't a musical.

May I remind everyone again that AVClub initially gave Scott Pilgrim a C+.

As much as I respect Mt. Takei, do we still have to stick with Roddenberry's vision so tight?

One of the astronauts actually destroyed a camera by pointing it to the sun. Why would they cause such an accident if it was all staged?

You ought to check Morrison's New X-Men run though. And maybe Whedon's run too.

The eleventh Doctor story The Beast Below featured a spaceship with entire UK population (minus Scottish, allegedly) leaving Earth and wandering in space. I bet half of British people want that technology now.

There was this back up feature in New Teen Titans #20, with both Marv Wolfman and George Perez meeting the Titans. It was a short parody, but fun.

Simply ask I-ching for the guidance next season.

I've only seen the pilot, but don't they introduce a new character as Jesse's possible love interest? I felt the chemistry between him and Tulip was more like work-buddies.

Also that image of Kuchisake-onna is Korean!

This was so sad and so soon after the news about his cancer. The New Frontier and Parker books were amazing and I was looking forward to his upcoming titles. R.I.P.

Simply start with his short stories. Some are maybe better than his novels.

Wasn't the novel like that in the first place? I thought the movie captured the essence of the novel pretty well.

The awful thing about Closing Time is revealing Yossarian couldn't successfully run away from military, making the whole ending of Catch 22 kinda moot.

Nerd question: is Enterprise D capable of defeating DS9's Defiant, which is basically a war ship? I know Borg kicked Defiant's ass in First Contact, but it probably didn't use the cloaking device.

Technically the astronaut's not ORBITING if he/she's traveling directly to Uranus or Aldebaran or whatever, no?

Simmons' JJJ was one of major factors that made Raimi's Spider-man movies work, yet Sony keeps wanting younger Peter Parkers so that they can build a lasting franchise.

I beg to differ. MacGowan sings like he lives - if he sounds like someone at a shitty karaoke bar, then he is living and drinking at a shitty karaoke bar at that moment in his life.

If you count co-singers, Beautiful South went through 3 frontwoman.
