Fortunately, he's had 10 years to practice.

But John Crichton is Dorothy Gale from Kansas.

I'm glad we had this talk!

Forget Nimoy's suit, I'm more interested at how Nimoy's natural accent has changed over the years, and how it matches national trends. I love watching people's voice change with the times. You should try and find old footage of Jerry Springer as a politician, he spoke in a Kennedy accent then.

I couldn't listen to the TAL radio play about the warlord. It's probably the most stereotypical NPR bit I've heard in a long time, and in a bad way.

Typically revolutions tend to end with the rebels becoming the oppressors (especially if they're true revolutions where those without power seize it). Then there's the fact that any system like that requires a strong state, because money is awfully powerful stuff. The deck is stacked in favor of corruption and…

Pussy Riot doesn't seem like a group of pragmatic types. Just a guess here.

If by "freedoms for individuals" you mean "anyone gets to keep the majority of what they can get from other people" then it's impossible. That's the whole catch, innit? That some dude gets to call all the shots just because he's the one paying the capital for something?

From what I'm hearing, the drum set was probably the only piece of musical equipment actually used at the show…

It's the same reason Teen Titans is such shit now: CN execs say they want humor that is "totally random, you know, like Adventure Time." It's a damn shame when people don't understand their own product.

There's no way PB is anything but Lawful: she not only IS the law, but her entire life is dictated by very objective scientific principles. PB abhors chaos.

Am I the only one that thinks the songs in Frozen were really bad, poorly aping modern musicals like Wicked? They could be really funny in parts (as expected from the Avenue Q guy), but they seemed tossed off, especially the lyrics. I submit that "Let It Go" is a terrible song with a fantastic hook.

Am I the only one that thinks they're starting to use "chard" and "kale" as a crutch for burger puns?

Not to mention the clear, super-obvious evidence of a cut in his uniform and belt.

They're pretty obvious: straight-up proof by intimidation (yelling loudly enough, staging set pieces that attempt to shame the viewer into agreeing with them); ad hominem attacks against their opposition by using footage (often out of context) that shows them doing or saying ridiculous, but unrelated things; strawmen;…

No, he's just a Manc.

But I think he made a good point: Moffat made a lot of hay about people being able to figure out the big mystery. He prodded fans on and then mocked them for caring. This episode is pretty meta: Sherlock forces Watson to get weepy and then mocks him for it. The show mocks the idea that Sherlock is an action superhero,…

"Do I make myself understood?"
"As crystal."

Nooooo! Not Mr. Homn!

I think it's a mistake to stick with both ends: you can't always idealize conflict and end up with a perfect solution from a perfect captain, because that doesn't let you explore the gray areas as well.
