This sub-plot is basically a story of how a democracy turns into a fascist state, using the basic template of the rise of Fascism in Europe in the mid-20th Century. What really struck me is how some parts of the story were very relevant to the post-9/11 world, like "Intersections in Real Time", which deals with…

It's pretty much The Lord of the Rings in space, where the younger races have to band together in order to fight a returning ancient evil, like with Sauron in LOTR. It also deals with the rise of humans as a key race in the universe, similar to how LOTR dealt with the beginning of the Age of Man. There are even a few…

It is no more of a stretch than a Chinese hacker taking down the US computer systems using a pirated version of Windows and a cheap Chinese laptop with a…

The Man of Steel vs the Iron (Sales) Man?

To me, it'll always be a prequel to Cabin in the Woods, thanks to the Deadites and Angry Molesting Tree on the whiteboard.

8) All this has happened before and will happen again?

Keep in mind that Judas was also an apostle, and was featured in The Last Supper, so just because he was there doesn't mean he is automatically a Saint.

I find it really telling that in the season 2 recap at the beginning of the episode, they mostly just showed scenes from the final episode of the season. It pretty much hammered home that no significant plot or character development happened for the majority of season 2.

Also, where is the TARDIS that they are using to stabilize the paradox of killing off their ancestors?

Scooter-stroller guy approves.

Sorry, hipster, but these dapper gentlemen were rolling without any chains before it was cool.

I just found a picture of the lead product designer for the Slingbox 500.
