Oh, so it's magic?

Why, with brilliant logic like that you could write for the show!

Lack of civil rights and food perhaps? Or constant state supervision, possibly gulags, or may be just simply not having a representative democracy.

Which makes one wonder what the machine that blocks the power runs on.

Just stop paying attention to him online. For me it was twitter, tumblr, etc, that started killing my interest. Now that I don't see his every thought, tweet and social media burp I feel much more well disposed to his actual work. As for the new book, the blurb is just marketing speak, I'm sure it will turn out fine.…

Glad to see I'm not the only one who didn't hate it. I rather enjoyed it, it's just about the most Freudian of comic book movies ever made. The whole thing is about toxic family relations and fallic jealousy. Ang Lee actually tried to make the film about something, for that alone he deserves more than the hateful…

Mueck is a brilliant sculptor, but did you know he voiced and operated Ludo in Labyrinth? He also made puppets for Jim Henson's the Storyteller.

Well, this make me feel old, but it's nice to see the show remembered. Though from the headline I thought this article was about JMS' initial plan for the show, where Sinclair and Delenn would have a magical space child who would save the galaxy from the Shadows after the Minbari destroyed the station.

The first season had lots of stinkers and having a cardboard cutout of a human (possibly a bit of exaggeration) playing the commander didn't exactly help either.

They took it off netflix last year:(

You're not the only one who'd like to see some sort of remade version of the show. But I think that to make it work they'd need to significantly alter it. At the time it was rather different from other tv science fiction, but I can't help but think of it now as being really very nineties. If someone were to remake the…

"certain aspects of the narrative read like thinly-veiled propaganda of the Christian Right "

Not actually all that good? Of all the different editions of the Potter books, I always thought the American covers were among the best. They're certainly better than the British covers, which went from overly cute and insipid to horribly melodramatic.

I think that the show only felt more relevant during the Bush years. It managed to tap into the sense of paranoia that pervaded the period and played around with themes that certainly were more talked about back then. It's kind of like Children of Men that way.

Considering that they're keeping the same writer, who has done some pretty good work, I'm really not that worried. It's not as if it's been handed over to, let's say, Bob Orci or some other hack du jour.

See, I figured that the memory wipe was because his character may have been one of those rebels. Instead of prison they get wiped and put to work.

So he should have submitted, protested, been imprisoned, eventually rehabilitated and given up his vows? I'm sorry, as sad as the life of Choekyi Gyaltsen was I don't think it would have helped Tibet a lot if the dalai lama had suffered the same fate.

Or maybe ask the people who are in prison or set themselves on fire. Oh wait, they did not in fact liberate Tibet. It's utterly ridiculous to argue that the Dalai Lama would have made a greater difference imprisoned or killed by the Chinese government than in his current function, which is basically a very effective…

Yes, but that's not really about ecology or conservationism, that's a political debate.

He was also attacking Earth if you remember. And I'd be surprised if the character Cumberbatch is playing won't have personal motivations for his attack on earth rather than political ones.
