Yeah... no. Shitty behavior and conflicts of interest aside, this really doesn’t have much to do with gender: this is about who gets credited for the discovery and who will be awarded the patent on a technology that has the potential to revolutionize gene editing and be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The fact…

If they’re going back to the early 90s, which is really when I remember all the Ravenloft stuff, they should revive Planescape!

That’s probably the single most asshole move I’ve ever seen a Gawker person make. It’s only been out for an f—-ing month.

Yeah, Sisko balking at playing early 20th century holosuite programs because of the whitewashing of racial history stands out to me. And “Far Beyond the Stars” of course.

I’m officially old, because I have no idea why this guy’s videos are so popular.

Can I get a tl;dr version of this somewhere? SOme sort of card or box that gives me the general idea?

He’s probably remembering the events we never saw in the films, there’s a few times they reference stuff that sounds way more interesting than what we see in the prequels.

Although I thought that John Williams Score for the Force Awakens was pretty decent. Rey’s Theme and March of the Resistance are excellent in particular. I can’t help but feel that they lacked the epicness of the music scored specifically for the trailers. I had hoped that Williams would mix the epic choral motifs he…

Yeah, I get what he’s saying and I’m sure he believes it, but I don’t buy it. I don’t think the movie needed to be so similar to A New Hope. It certainly didn’t need to be to be successful: the prequels made loads of money even though they weren’t very similar at all (or as well liked). Star Wars is one of the most…

Even pretty good would be cause for celebration. And don’t forget Assassin’s Creed is in December, so we’ve got two shots at it.

But there’s still the problem of Finn telling her “Turn off the shield so my friends can come in and blow up the planet your on!” If I’m dead either way I’m not turning the shields off. Or better yet hit an alarm button “yes that was the shield off button!”.

are you saying it’s not? You probably thought avatar was a profound, totally-new story.
anyway, I liked the first three quarters of TFA, but the death star ending was really... Meh! Tell me, why did you like I so much? I want serious points.

The decline in quality of the show I think is pretty accurately mirrored in the decline in quality of the books. AFFC was an absolute mess and ADWD was only a little better. He needed an editor to get those down to one book in the first place. There are definitely elements of the show that I don’t like as compared to…

Honestly it’s a half decent action movie with some great set pieces but other than that it’s a complete mess and mainly serves as an example of style over substance.

No chance. Books are now irrelevant. Plus let's be frank, there will be no book 7, 50-50 on book 6 in next two year.

The first three of the series are really good, have great plot twists and things happening in them with a pretty good pace.

Murray Gold’s music is part of what I love about the show. It’s probably the only television show, besides Game of Thrones, where the music stands out in a way that makes me want to listen to it outside of the episode. If there’s any complaint I have about Murray Gold, it’s that “All the Strange, Strange Creatures”…

Donna is the best companion.

I’m OK with Charlie speaking for me as well.

Ever since the merge, io9 is basically trash (with a couple of exceptions). I remember when it used to be something of substance. The merger is probably why Annalee left.
