mighty indeed

I've noticed lately how following and watching so many TV shows (Fringe, Person of Interest, Terra Nova, Homeland, Modern Family, The Office, Dexter- that's just this season) has taken me away from what used to be my primary love- reading.

There's just so much wrong in this post, so much that I disagree with and already so many replies posted to it that I fear I'll be fighting a lost cause if I reply. To put it in short I think despite the point you make your entire opinion still comes off as one-sided. To me it's clear that a fair mind would as…

Perhaps when he says "there are no good or bad guys in war" he's talking about war in general and not a specific war that you can point to. What you say might (only might) be valid in WW2 but definitely holds no ground in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq.

[edit]

Actually this show won't really disappoint me any further. I now know not to expect anything from it and am just on the ride because there's nothing much else to watch on Mondays.

Oh damn! That's an embarrassing mistake, dunno how I made it. I did actually mean pulling his leg but I'm trying to understand why you feel even that doesn't fit.

Ah, now I get it :)

I think it's safe to say that this show is being made for the everyday (undiscerning) audience, not for the serious, critical but loyal viewer. That would explain the serious lack of 'realism' in the entire show. The characters simply exist on a screen, not in our lives. I don't relate to anyone, to aspire to be…

Not really! An ordinary audience member just figured it out in 5 episodes and outed it on public forum!

I'm hating Terra Nova as much as everyone else here is but I think in this case it was valid. It's not like the 6ers in front of Taylor were the only 6ers. There were many more hidden back where Taylor couldn't find them. So maybe he didn't want to invite an invasion into his camp by gunning the 6ers present down. …

I think the writers of the show don't really have any rules for this thing. Just make up whatever story you want and we'll simply show the characters as having been mistaken if we need to (or worse, neglect to do even that and let people keep pointing it out on io9)

"And again, why trust the Shannon's at all when you've got people like the Sixers around who came through the portal and betrayed the colony? There should be a lot more distrust amongst these people towards the family and how they (Mr. Shannon, really) ended up on the colony, but they settled into place way too easy…

Why can't they use all that talent and money to bring an original space opera to the screen? I'm sure there is no dearth of new ideas. Hey, why not even try bringing a brilliant space opera from Reynolds or Hamilton to light? It's not like all that audience that would watch your BSG reboot wouldn't still give the…

A friend of mine once mentioned how he thought that evolution was just a theory. I proceeded to make him read this one and a half page section in H.G. Wells' 'A Brief History of the World' where Wells had written what I thought was the most succinct explanation of evolution and its status as a biological fact. It…

Exactly what I've been waiting for. I was going to gift my 10 inch Galaxy tab to my sister and move to the Transformer but then I held out, waiting for Transformer 2. Worth the wait, now both my sister and I can get new tablets :)

Don't go crucifying me for this, but I found and watched the Midnight Meat Train after reading Cooper's filmography on Wikipedia and watching all the listed movies one by one. This particular movie I watched first because it also had Vinnie Jones. Loved every part of it but wasn't particularly motivated to go…

Guess we were both guilty of geocentrism...

Ah, connects well with my recent (seemingly unpopular) rant on #whitenoise. That Gawker is deciding for me that I would do well with a Facebook/Twitter account.

So we've got doctors, warehouse and logistics managers, and autonomous cars covered. Still doesn't justify the trump card title for what will is essentially a flagship phone for a new OS. Also, I can't accept the "revelant data for better decisions" part without more specific examples. What decisions in particular,…
