I really liked their last three albums actually. The Bedlam In Goliath was maybe too much of an onslaught, but individual tracks are great. Octahedron and Nocturniquet I thought were both quite tight, with little fat and some strong hooks. They lost a little of the grandeur of the first two albums, but wrote tighter…

If it wasn't for this reissue craze, tonnes of great albums probably wouldn't see the light of day. I thought I'd never own a copy of Hawkwind's Warriors On The Edge Of Time, then the prog revival hit.

These are all excellent choices.

With most other movies, I'd agree with you about the possession angle taking over the film. But in The Conjuring's case, I think they managed to give the possession real emotional stakes, due to the past experiences of the ghost hunters, and because the mother was sympathetic enough, and they kept most of the…

Nice to see The Ring on here; most horror fans are sniffy about it being a remake.
I think Drag Me To Hell and Wolf Creek are overrated. The former because the 'twist' ending depends on the character acting like an idiot, and the latter because it's just unpleasant in an unfun way.

They aren't all that light and breezy, but the first one, 2008's Iron Man, definitely is.

The Dead Weather are the only Jack White project that, for me, hasn't produced a bonafide 5 star classic album. Yet. However, they were one of the best live acts I've seen. in a dingy uni pub no less. Mosshart was so dynamite that it was easy to forget that White was even in the band!

This just sounds awful. Sounds like it jams in every trope I despise in modern youth-oriented media: "oh-no-they-didn’t punchlines, act-break shockers, and hashtag-friendly title"

Millennium deserves to be on here. Sure, it changed formats every season, but when it delivered it was amazing. The season 2 finale with the setpiece set to the entirety of Patti Smith's 'Land' is seared into my memory.
(tried to find a video of it and the internet failed me)

Hannibal is one of the only times I've actually felt a palpable sense of evil when watching something.

Yeah, like the really unimaginative stuff, where everything is a metaphor for something else. I call that the 'X-Men effect'.
This is best illustrated by how every adaptation of Asimov's robot stories, or similar old school sic-fi about robots, turns the robots into an oppressed minority, rather than trying to imagine…

It's especially inurating seeing as at the time, DS9 was doing the sort of Maquis episodes Voyager had promised!

In the original PKD story, Precrime wasn't 'bad' or 'good'. It just was.
The idea that we should always interpret hypothetical scenarios through the lens of our current cultural concerns, like civil rights etc, is pretty limiting, especially in the sci-fi genre.

"they reminisce about how they don't get along - which hadn't been true for the last 3 years"

Equinox was the episode that finally made me give up on Voyager. Not because it was a bad episode, but because it was so obviously misplaced and demonstrated how little the writers had planned the show.

An ad for this was on the back of EVERY comic I bought last week. I grew fascinated by the header image. I felt like I could predict the entire show from just the way Pizazz is looking at Dazzle: He's a cocky asshole, she gets annoyed at him, but there's still sexual tension.

I get most upset about progressives using specious and straw man arguments, because we're supposed to be better than that. All these weak arguments do is give ammunition to those maintaining the status quo to dismiss all the arguments.

I don't want to be that cynical, but it's getting harder.
Reading some of the messages sent to Joss Whedon after what seemed like a wilful misinterpretation of the film was a harsh blow to the ol' ideals.

What if you love the Ewoks? Can you still be a Feminist?

Not to be a dick about this, but by focusing on that one tiny aspect of this article, it's easy to ignore the larger point it's making.
