Title: "Scientific breakthrough"

the 100 clips that the computer program decided were most similar to the clip that the subject had probably seen were merged

I'm not sure where you're getting any of that - the article gives "the ball costs five cents" as the correct answer, which it is. The incorrect ("intuitive") answer is that the ball costs $0.10 and the bat $1.00

The headline should really be: "Scientists develop way to harness useless people."

There must have been a stage between apes and homo habilis that really looked like this.

You realize this is about real life, right?

Sometimes being (relatively) good in crap movies is more likeable than being in good ones.

This list desperately needs Marton Csokas and Karl Urban - they've both been in a ton of really crap "genre" stuff, and always make it more awesome.

Michelle Rodriguez and Chiwetel Ejiofor have to come out.

Alien: Resurrection is a pretty decent movie. It's quite cheesy in places, and it may not measure up to its predecessors, but those were a couple of the best sci-fi movies ever made. Admittedly, for a movie written by Joss Whedon and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet it leaves something to be desired.

I think it was established a few seasons ago that the show just borrows a rough outline of the characters and a few vague plot points from the books; it's not trying to follow the books in any meaningful way.

I'm not sure why you need a diagram to explain "science is evil, here's some pseudo-religious pap to give you the warm fuzzies".

Problem is, it was "actually bad". Sure it wasn't "V bad", but that's just "reprehensibly bad" - very few things are that bad.

I loathed Jilly too, but in a really good way. I think of all the love-to-loathe characters, she's the only one that worked - Oswald was too random to really connect, Rex was too obnoxious.

Would you prefer that no one die on the show, or that it have no women?

Farscape was simply amazing, and it's a damn shame they rescinded the order for a whole season and just let it die.

"hard scifi on the Sci-Fi Channel is almost like this double whammy. Now that we have a brand that is a little broader ... it also gives us a lot of freedom to do more hard scifi."

They get those time slots because that's what people want to watch. If more people wanted innovative programming, the slots would follow.

Could been worse - they could've gotten this guy.

I don't really see the problem with cop/lawyer/doctor/nurse shows - people who like them watch them, people who don't, don't. It's not like those who make (or watch) them would be making (or watching) awesome sci-fi shows instead, if those went away.
