Isn't it a bit bushleague to put the same episodes in the "best of" and "worst of" categories?

/le_grumble... Occasionally nonsensical? You're telling me. While it didn't remind me of Kraken, it did remind me of a paradox backlash once suffered by a Virtual Adept, but even at that the connection was tentative and the VA story was far stronger with things like character, plot, development and even a moral.

Nice catch... wasn't this on Odeck yesterday? :)

Not according to the creator/writer/director, every reviewer I've read, and every fan I've engaged with. I swear some of them were just making shit up to say about the drivel.

Every time I hear someone say Looper was any good, I question their capacity for critical thinking and capacity to see beyond their own fandoms. Sure, if they say it was a guilty pleasure or a good popcorn movie, but the degree to which people harp on about this truly empty effort is harrowing.

Yeah, I saw this while doing a search. Is this how the format appears in the book?

I think I was sort of clear in that I wasn't discounting the possibility of a specific process or invention. I was, however, discounting the possibility of that process or invention as described in SF stories which are not just beyond the cutting edge of known technology. As mentioned, FTL might be possible, but it's…

The healing power of magnets and a warp core have one thing in common; neither of them work in reality. Every time someone uses Hyperspace or neural cybernetic implants or time travel or pisonic abilities they are using something which isn't real, and mostly likely will never become real. At least, not in how it's…

This is decidedly selective assessment. If we presume the relevance of the Black list (posted hear yesterday) then there are still Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic projects out there looking to be produced.

Cool, good to know. If I can trouble you with another question, the book's in a script format. Can you give me an idea of what that format is, and if possible, have you encountered others using such a format for prose? I haven't seen a script format used outside published plays or for teleplays/screenplays.

I'm not entirely sure of the relevance or effectiveness of the list nor that it can bear the subtitle of the "list of the year's best unproduced screenplays". 290 execs offering up to 10 suggestions makes (at most) 2,900 scripts. This is out of the approximately 30,000 scripts registered just with the WGAw in a given…

As was made clear in the article, GW's trademarks effect different products. As such, that goes without saying. In addition, we can't assert any motive to the actions as we lack facts of the case. For example, have you read the author in question AND GW's novellizations/source books/other materiale from the 40k…

What matters here is the comparison to similar works under trademark which AREN'T used in legal action and those which ARE. The WoW/SC IPs are not only use similar terminology to that of War/40k, but they have similar themes and those themes are used in similar ways.

After working for Blizzard for several years, I may be more aware of the relationship between GW and Blizzard, how far it went back, and what brought it to an end. That said, the two companies appear to be happy (or at least less unhappy) with how things ended.

The fact that the copyright exists means that those who decide on such things fell that there was enough descriptive elements, when combined, to create something worthy of the copyright. If you have a problem with that, you've come to the wrong shop, but do speak to those who issued the copyright in the formats listed…

The question, for me, comes are the two terms describing similar things (For example, is one "space marine" a powered-armor-wearing soldier from a facistic regime and another "space marine" a holiday destination watering hole in space?)

You asked the question in the negative, so let me answer in the definitive. Yes, I've read such and I have yet to find a comment, article, post, rant, diatribe, remark or opinion all over the internets which, at its core, has anything other than a preferential whine. The fact you yourself defined the comments as…

First you direct me to read Huxley, which was something apparently you hadn't. Now you direct me to go to a bookstore to inspect how genre works? I prefer to know how genre is, ya'know, defined before I enter a bookstore. By the by, you might want to look at the level of presumption you take about things and people.…

All I got was auto(bot)asphyxiation and decided to go no further. :)

I'm simply using the terms as they are defined. I would recommend you go back and reread Thomas Huxley yourself, as you suggest doing so supports my position.
