Your epic reply was awesome, no need to apologize!

Requires only hate is awesome, thank you so much for the link! Will have to check out the others next.

Ok, this was so weird. As i read this the story sounded more and more familiar, and then the hint about Lestat really got my goosebumps up and then a commenter down below mentions that its a Lioncourt who complains about his waistcoat and i KNEW that i've read this... but i can't for the life of me remember when and…

I tend to do this too, though not with as specific a placement (ie Foundation)... I just try and figure out what's up with the planet they're on and assume they got there through some sort of human diaspora from their past. I've been kind of assuming that the planet has an unstable axial tilt... it would mostly…

I am pretty much right there with you point for point. I haven't been as into this show for the last couple of seasons, feeling that they kind of dropped the ball on the apocolypse and then had no real idea where they were going this season... and the ideas they had seemed mostly silly and world-contracting instead…

First off, great post. You summed up what i was thinking really well. Second thing:

My parents always told me i was born on a friday the 13th (december) and I believed them... i mean, why wouldn't I? but a few years ago i went to a site that calculates dates and found out i was actually born on a tuesday. to this day i don't know which i should claim... i LOVED telling people i was born on a friday…

Once again, brilliantly done! And thank you for the link to the Delany paper; i'm always looking for help in defining sexism, privileged, and the tools to combat them in fiction, and i'd never read this.

right there with you. I mean, if i could sit through The Cape, i'm pretty sure i could make it through this. And i REALLY wanna know how bad it was.

Oh man, Lu-Tze is gonna be PISSED. I'm pretty sure we weren't supposed to notice this...

Ok, you all are seriously jaded, how was that not totally awesome? Robot arms, lightsaber fighting, twirly goodness, what's not to love? As for sound effects, um, IMAGINATION is really the way to go here. I mean, how can you watch two lightsabers clashing and not just fill in the sounds yourself?

I haven't read it yet (with everything going on with PTerry i generally wait for the next one before i read the current one... I don't want to read the last discworld book without KNOWING that's what i'm doing) but I definitely felt that Wintersmith wasn't quite as good as WFM and HFoS. However, i thought Unseen…

Oh man, i have to decide which i want to win more, CryoBurn or Zero History (er, haven't read the other three)... that is a very hard choice as those are two of the better books i've read this year.

Don't forget to check out the House on the Rock from American Gods... [www.thehouseontherock.com] totally worth a visit any time you're in Wisconsin. And the Ghostbusters firehouse is a regular stopping point any time i have friends visiting me in new york. [www.bigwaste.com]

I'm about a day behind but i'm reading and sending them to all my non-io9 friends to come and take a look at. So far this series has been amazing and i'm deeply looking forward to the next installment. Haven't read these books in over a decade but you're brining them back wonderfully and making me really want to…

That sounds suck-tastic, i'm glad they managed to figure out what was going on eventually. I'm going through something similar (in the non-treatment department, not in the symptom department) with my girlfriend... all kinds of symptoms but no real diagnosis. They seem awfully willing to write it off as "stress" or…

No, it's A TRAP! *snicker*

Don't let AngriestGeek get you down, you can be a true trek fan all you want. The fact that you've watched them twice, have a strong opinion and are willing to go to the mat for that opinion is the mark of a true fan, loving them is just a mark of age ;-) (For the record, i love them, but i was raised on that…

This is a perfect summation of every "good" Enterprise episode ever, well done!
