TBH... it almost hurts some shows when they lean too much on a character like that... but it works for Flash. The only episodes I can rewatch on that are any that focus Cavanaugh. Guy is a god... and that’s all I can say.

The way you say “in the Kevin Sorbo “starring Andromeda”” makes me wonder if that’s a subtle dig at the show, and how it became the Kevin Sorbo show. God... that’s a show I tried to rewatch recently and had to stop half-way during the second season when they changed the showrunner (turning one of the most complicated…

Eugh... I don’t like reading your reviews any more. You are too beholden to the past (yet ironically enough you are always making mistakes regarding information of other ST series...).

Good lord, why do I need to be the one to tell an AVCLUB writer that taking apart an HBO executive’s WORDS is pointless? To him, a definitive ending of the HBO’s golden goose could be anything. As if he thought out the potential meanings of his statements as far as you did... lol

Correcting an error in the post correcting an error on the article. I approve.

Eurocentrism is a tough subject, its in my mind the modern form of orientalism (viewing a subject through modern lens without understanding its past/origin). This article got my hackles up immediately because it starts with comments regarding eurocentrism followed by inaccurate comparisons... I’ve had to pace myself…

This is almost correct. I’d argue with some of your statements, but the closest this board has come to understanding. I would never say Plebes had equal access to high political office. Access, yes... equal, never. (It’d be like saying Any American could be US President... sure, technically that’s true, but its also…

This is almost true... and would start a debate on what is the height of the Roman Empire... because frankly I’d be hard pressed to point at one time unless we are going by pure geography.

Wikipedia can’t describe anything well because it is education by committee. It’s a useful starting point to inquire, but NEVER base your end-findings on it. Instead go to the references Wikipedia gives you and go to the sources yourself, if you can.

I see confusion vis a vis Patricians/Nobiles/equites... so let me attempt to explain. Initially in the Roman Republic you had what amounts to three classes. Slaves, Freed men, and voting class. The voting class consisted of plebes - the poor (but also effectively the middle class traders) and the Patricians were the…

A lot of these comments here mix fact and fiction. There are some worthy points mixed in these, some that I’d ultimately agree with despite relying on false information. Re: Mike Vago’s interpretation that Rome focusing East primarily because of ONE threat... which is false. The romans won and lost wars in the East…

This article (and these comments) are somewhat painful to read, balanced out by the knowledge that some interest is better than none.

Jackie Chan says wha?

Horizon reference? I think these games are indeed very similar (and it almost pushed me away from this game to be honest). The difference is in their MP components and the fact that you can pretty much just stumble into any creature in H:ZD and live to tell the tail (if you are smart.) Here... it looks like that is…

I bought this game for the cat customization. I’m not even kidding.

and thank god for it! a little flashback social justice.

Man that would make for a fantastic episode... him realizing he gave up everything that was important to him to follow his addiction for feeling like a hero... while recovering from a gunshot or something, and yet still the only hero left standing to save the rest. So he puts it all behind him and sacrifices for…

whatcha making and where dya live. I hungry.

I don’t like Klepper. This bit and his show are weak.

Have we ever seen a mirror universe HUMAN on a planet or in sunlight though? I struggle to think but all I remember from DS9 was them on DS9 or a ship... or a bajoran on Bajor. Seems less retconnish and more fill-in-the-blanks.
