Nitpick, I think you’re referencing the unmoved mover, not the god of the gaps—my understanding of the GotG is that it says “God” is the explanation for all that man/science can’t explain. The problem there is that it posits an ever. shrinking god as man’s knowledge expands; it was actually laid out by theologians…

Agreed, and this is what I assumed they would be doing...would be a lot more convincing to have the captain as a minor character when you were focusing on the lower ranks, but when the first officer is the main character? harder to imagine deemphasizing the captain.

A lot of the suburbs are up on hills, so Cambridge will be fine, but the Financial District should be getting a lil bit underwatery.

He wants to look cool but is scared of lung cancer.

They confirmed steve is ageless in the Dimension Z arc; he lived for decades in Zola’s dimension and didn’t age a day.

oooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh yes. I was also confused by Carol being there twice, thanks for this!

Oh for a second I thought you were talking about Walter. That guy is dangerous.

Sure, if you want to appear _weak_. SAD.

BUT VETERANS is the number on thing I see as cover for everything. We can’t care for homeless veterans so then no refugees! And I guess legal immigrants who did not come through the refugee program are also basically refugees! And sure we can build a giant stupid fucking wall BUT THE VETERANS.

My cat concurs, she was just looking for youtube kittens and they are not back there either.

well sure, but your top post thesis was that epic fantasy novels as a genre take a long time to write, and that the model is broken. So I submit Sanderson. Abercrombie has written and published and entire epic fantasy trilogy since ADwD came out, plus a hugely long first law world book. The entire expanse series, 6…

You want us to worry about a hole when Hillary Clinton something something emails!!! So tired of the fake news media obsessing about holes in NYC when I won the election tremendously and bigly.

If you scroll down to his projects section, Brandon expects to publish, in the next four years, two Stormlight Archive epic fantasy 1000+ page novels, one Mistborn novel (~400-500 pages), at least one YA novel (new Reckoners universe series for sure, possibly a…

I love the idea that Alien Quentin Tarantino would throw and actual planet into an actual star because the CG version just doesn’t have the weighty feel of like, actual planet smashing.

The idea is it would boil off as a large cloud very close in to the sun. gas clouds don’t have to be very dense at all to block visible light.

And after Unity, and the entire end of season 2...this is definitely Rick, though I get not wanting this show to have character arcs.

skeptical. Neptune and Uranus aren’t visible without telescopes. The ancients tracked only 5 planets.

These songs are no Bushes of Love.

So agree. Pretty good first half, absolute shit back half. At least Daredevil waits till episode 12 to fall apart each season. I had to sit through 6 hours of post-cottonmouth garbage.

Yup, Il Douche has made it clear that he doesn’t give a fuck about ethics. So, it indeed appears we will purge the government of all dissenters. Best we can hope for is that he will be unable to find enough people to run the government after he’s done, or the people he does have are such neanderthals literally…
