I feel kind of dumb saying this, but Dragonborn took me forever to get through because it takes place in such a gross area.

...Uh yeah, exactly. So where do you get off telling people what they can and can't enjoy, and how? It's the same thing with GOT. To book fans, it's one property. To show fans, the books are just spoilers we're avoiding, just like with any other TV show — which includes, as usual, being berated by misguided book…

Man, that sucks that that happened to you! Good thing you're here to help everybody else out.

No, nobody cares about the fact that the books and information about the books are readily available — except dorks trying to police the conversation and show off how brilliant they are for knowing something nobody cares about.

Wrong crowd. And +1.

Go to hell. They're enjoying a television show, not establishing themselves as experts in the fucking field. It's a conversation that the entire country is having, regardless of whether or not obnoxious fanboys like you approve.

Then shut the fuck up. Nobody likes the Spoiler Police. You're not helping in the way that you think you're helping.

Again: Is that what happened to you? Is that what got you so upset?

So the game has been ruined for you. That's what you're saying: By this article's lack of a "clear and present" spoiler warning, the game has been spoiled, personally, for you. In the very outside possibility that's true, I apologize.

I want to be generous and say that was added after.

So the game was ruined for you, then, without the spoiler warning?

Was the game spoiled for you by something in the article you decided to read all the way through? No? Then shut the fuck up. Hypothetical people can take care of themselves.

Bricken's humor and intellect have really brought the site back in recent weeks. More of that. More smart people without an agenda, just bringing knowledge and humor instead of dry "10 Tips to Rewrite Your Nanowrimo Vampire Novel" pieces that just recycle the same few bits of sweetly earnest, "those who can't, teach"…

This is a phenomenal idea. Annalee's futurism and technology stuff, although I rarely agree with it, is the best writing on the site. I'd love to see these conversations. Gold star.

I did the same thing.

Defiance isn't much like either. It's more like Eureka set in Petticoat Junction, with stroppy aliens instead of those geniuses. And a lot of alien politics — Babylon 5, DS9, Mass Effect, Farscape-type alien politics. There's a head-scratcher at the end of the pilot that has a twist you might connect to Revolution,…

Michael Swaim is the best thing. He is my favorite man on Earth.

How is anonymous aggregated data an invasion of anyone's privacy?

I hate, hate, hate how much of this I identified and agreed with. It was a great and exciting experience at the time, but I haven't thought about it since, not a single time. Nicely done.

You know, this has come up a lot this week — of course — and I have a little extra something I don't think a lot of us have considered: Most of us that think she's a "space racist" lost her at Virmire because of that. So it's not necessarily a product of being too stupid or unsophisticated to appreciate her storyline,…
