Much as I love Mythbusters, I can't watch it on DVD because about 5 minutes of every episode is 'last time' or 'after the break'.

It always irritates me how the HK people blame the *last* person to lose in their 4 to 3 contest.  As if the other two losers didn't also lose.

At the very least, it should get regular coverage on The Soup. 

Especially when you have to imagine they could have hired a small army of Native American actors, given them horses, costumes, make up, and guns and sent them on a campaign against General Custer for the amount of money they spent getting Johnny Depp.

Its almost as if there is a Dexter-style horrific dark comedy running parallel to the events of The Killing.

I remember being so very, very excited when the Vorlon ships finally got to show off what they could do.  I remember thinking that the reason for the reluctance of the Vorlons to join it was because of the common trope in sci-fi that the Elder and (probably) Immortal civilizations always have their great power checked…

My girlfriend got me onto S3 without watching S1&2, and I follow it just fine for the most part. 

Hell on Wheels is back for a 3rd season. 

I guess it depends…. I wouldn't mind people to make their own settings and great characters, rather than trying to re-invent something earlier, but there is always some form of reinvention or reimagination going on in any sort of authorship or performance.  And its an ancient thing too… the Old Testament has been…

If I remember her right, she was almost more like a Crusader (as in the original 1096 version), convinced that her horror is the correct way.  Didn't the AVClub just review a movie about an anti-communist genocidal maniac… The Art of Killing?  That might be another similar type.

Maybe the second dose is a substance that wouldn't be easily detectable?  Perhaps it might not even need to be ingested.  The whole thing feels like a Joker plan to me…. Refa could put on some perfume later and get that big SmileX grin.

It would have been fun if after the revolution, B5 went to business casual for weekdays, and jeans on Fridays and weekends.  And security could just have a fancy hat.

I seem to recall people having problems with The Reader and the sympathy for the war criminal stuff going on there (though I've not seen it).  That's not the sort of thing you should just shrug off, without your character seeming evil, or at least pathologically in love.

He gets a pass with this challenge…. he could only make one cake, and didn't really have the ability to cut it open and taste it.

Until that line, I really wasn't sure if the editors were just trying to make her into being a villain for being legitimately pissed at people looking down at her.  She's a bully, no amount of cooking it for her kid will change that.

The part I'm referring to actually comes from some of his later books… in one of the sequels to Ender's Shadow, Ender's parents tell Peter they would have had more kids even if they weren't given the dispensation, even though it was illegal, and the Earth was…

Indeed…. Its not unlike a bad fantasy sequel to the original.  I'm sure there are parallels between The Book of Mormon and the Dune sequels made by Brian Herbert.

Its sequels were much, much worse. 

You can't with a straight face say that Mormonism isn't deeply imbedded in his books… the Homecoming series is a deliberate allegory for the Book of Mormon, as are the Alvin Maker books too.  Its not all terrible, artists have to get their inspiration from somewhere, but there are a lot of people in his books that are…

The problem I have with it is that he is on the board of NOM.  Money you give him will directly fund anti-gay activities.  Its not like we're talking about someone who just happens to hate gays… its someone who is deeply involved with the infrastructure working against gay marriage.
