Ooooh, swing and a complete miss. First thing, point to where I said I liked Gravity or actually gave an opinion on the film. Secondly, yes he is actually implied wrong on at least a couple of his rhetorical questions in areas that are outside his defined area of greatest expertise.

Wasn't he (apart from being quite a large man) on the wrestling team for high school and/or university?

Thank you but I'll be honest, I'm more craven sycophant more than anything else at the moment but I am working on being more aggressively vocal in my strident opinionated criticisms going forward.

I haven't got one yet but I'll be sure to let you know when I do so you can know when you start actively ignoring it.

I was just saying that was my experience of encountering him the first time. I mean with this obvious attempt at a burn, I could say this is also a negative start between the two of us here. However, in the same way that that I've seen a lot of stuff he's done since and hence have been trying to formulate a new…

It's basically what you're saying. Lots of public figures make the mistake of thinking being experts in one area makes them experts in many more and that's where they get into trouble.

I knew at least one of his 'criticisms' of the astronauts in Gravity was in effect wrong the moment I heard it. Not a great first impression given that's the first time I ever heard of him. That and how smug his other criticisms came across at the same time on Twitter.

My first impression of Neil DeGrasse Tyson was a bad one because the very first thing I ever remember hearing him say, even I knew he was wrong and his statement also implied at least some ignorance about the astronauts who've gone up in the past.

Tatiana Maslany wins!? I never thought I'd see the day.

I have one of those! Except I'm keeping it because I actually quite liked that story and arc.

Without giving too much away, they also have a novel solution to the age old (well, it seems like an eternity) slow zombie/fast zombie debate.

The flow of information goes both ways. Many is the time I've gotten a fine recommendation of something I might otherwise not have even heard of (from here or somewhere else).

Oh yes, I've seen that one. The zombies in that one were nigh on unstoppable. It also had the added bonus of actually being very funny.

I will do that since you recommended it (recommendations here from commenters are usually solid). I edited some recommendations of my own into my post which you may or may not have seen. All highly recommended (by me at least!)

Now I'm already on record as saying the Season 2 premiere was good fun (how could an episode which starts with a recap of an imminent nuclear explosion also showing one person's response to climb into a refrigerator not be?).

Don't worry, Tobey Maguire was really cool about all the people in the role after him.

Well, are there any federal crimes involved? If not, then there's an equal chance of a pardon (still zero, though).

Fuck yes.

This just keeps getting better and better. I missed the original IMAX screening in Sydney and was oh so lucky to catch the one day only repeat performance at the world's largest IMAX in Darling Harbour. I'd been contacting IMAX repeatedly for weeks about it when I learned they were doing an encore performance.

I don't dispute that there were other good episodes (quite a lot, actually IMO - anything with Indira Varma was definitely good value for starters and I do remember Adrift, especially the ending) but Children of Earth was an integrated block of five episodes that was pretty much top notch from start to finish.
