So, I have what are probably some dumb questions.

Science is not a fucking movement. It needs a symbol as much as it needs a mascot. Further, creation of a flag or banner to represent it makes me feel like we're rallying for battle against... who? The non-scientists? The information discovered by the scientific community is a boon to all of humanity. While there may…

Lol, I can accept that. Apologies for being so literal.

I'm not sure if you're just trying to get a response. If so, please ignore me and continue, agent provocateur. However, if you made that post in earnest, it seems nonsensical to refer to your subjective opinion about a work of art as fact.

Did Richard K. Morgan borrow from both of those?

"You have to give up some of your mass to change velocity."

Yeah, I'm not the most sensible person.

Is it sad I find beauty in that dystopia? I'd want to live there.

I also work in the game industry and have been a gamer all my life. My views on piracy are quite contrary to yours. Neither fact lends any weight to your arguments.

I really enjoyed this first film, but alas I think the Sherlock series might have ruined me for this one (not that I'll miss it). That just wasn't Mycroft.

Well, it may have predated fish, but it definitely slept where they are now.
