Which actually explains why that character doesn't say that he's the singer when someone mentions the song. It bugged me when I read it as a teenager because if I wrote a hit song and someone was talking about it, I would totally claim credit. I know he's supposed to be on a journey to maturity and part of it is about…

I totally knew about Aristotles Second Poetics for Theater History class when the professor alluded to it. Thank you Umberto Eco.

If you're an adult, the Foster and the Piers Anthony books might not be awesome. I remember that I liked On a Pale Horse and it's not giving me too many terrible flashbacks (unlike Bio of a Space Tyrant where I liked it because it was like Twilight for teenage boys - creepy sexual politics intact - especially the…

And yet, I'm still not seeing that increase in sales for She Nailed a Stake Through His Head: Tales of Biblical Terror.

Well at least there are no David Bowie references like in http://www.indiegogo.com/pr…

Oh. The Golden Calf guy is played by Edward G. Robinson who might as well have a cigar in his mouth and a bowler hat when he's talking to Moses.

But what about Mr. Big?

Well we knock him because we do love this show and we've spent a long time with it. Like the spouse that we would have married if only we hadn't driven our girlfriends away by continually talking about Babylon 5…

I remember being ok with Grey 17 is missing despite the JMS apology.

Scott Lynch's Gentlemen Bastards series would make some excellent viewing. It even has a fan-made title sequence - http://scott-lynch.livejour…

If only he offered her that cameo on Entourage

No jokes about the killer trees?

The first 15 minutes of No Way Out made my teenage self very happy.

At least this Doctor can make out with River Song and it doesn't look like he's getting too affectionate with his mother.
