Season 2 of The Expanse, and reading the rest of the books in the series.

Episode VIII

Kimba has a lot of influence from human characters; there are no humans at all in TLK. TLK is basically Hamlet with animals; Kimba is about culture shock and two entirely different societies trying to get along. Also, Tezuka’s entire theme for Kimba was “love for all creatures,” and The Lion King was far more about

It was the god awful Robin Hood episode. I muscled through the rest of the season. But Kill the Moon cemented my decision.

I’d love one of those...for other reasons.

brb, kicking 2016 in the balls on its way out.

I’ve loved Doctor Who since the 80's and I’ve never liked the crummy effects. So no on that one. That’s just Doctor Who fans trying to excuse the c*** parts of the show.

I had kind of a big bulky armor in mind but then in Caliban’s War she was talking about how her Goliath 3 armor specialized in ship boarding so this interpretation makes sense to me. I’m with you though I had something beefier in mind.

Yep. Here’s the cast photo where you can see how large she is compared to everyone else. She’s huge, and polynesian, and hot, just like the book described her:

Is anyone else really looking forward to when the images and video clips of Vader’s Rogue One moments hit the Internet? I really want to A) obsessively study the one flipping frame we have of Vader in his bacta tank and B) repeatedly watch *that part* from the end of the movie.

That’s complete and utter horseshit. Nobody’s ever been made to hand over land because they accidentally or incidentally used seed and it contaminated the genetic identity of the entire crop.

This is such a perfect example of the anti-GMO propaganda I’m talking about. Thanks for the illustrative example.

Anti-GMO propaganda is right up there with anti-vax nonsense.

Unless you can point to a situation where you’ve consumed a scorpion-cabbage or a jellytomato, their analogy is more accurate than yours.

Those are extreme (and not real/used in consumer products) examples. Inserting DNA from onr similar plant into another is basically the same thing, just without all the trial and error.

Hey man, don’t blame me, blame the people who seem to think that any modification done to any organism is on the same scale as “breeding a tomato to a jellyfish.” The small stuff being discussed here (Golden Rice, etc) is much closer to what we’ve done for thousands of years, but people see “GMO” and immediately think

Anti-GMO propaganda is right up there with anti-vax nonsense.

It would also help if Nigerian media stopped promoting anti-GMO propaganda, such as claiming that “eating GMO rice is as bad as eating rice laced with rat poison”. Golden Rice and BioCassava were designed for exactly situations like those found in Nigeria, and while they are far from a magic bullet they can

It’d also be rad if they picked a big bad that WASN’T a speedster. There’s only so many times they can dip into the “evil speedster” and “run faster via the power of sheer will and love!” well before it gets terribly old.

For every awesome moment like animated Mr. T punching a shark, there were fifty moments of bad animation, cheesy dialogue, threadbare plotting and general don’t-give-a-fuckness. And I watched all the shows religiously when I was a kid.
