Yep, it’s confirmed, wonder woman will have boobs that catch the light. Her face, not so much.

Well, it is Syfy, after all...

Counterpoint: The Expanse was great. Killjoys, unfortunately, just failed to hold my interest after the third episode.

At least The Expanse is a step in the right direction.

Damned shame about the quality of the show itself, though.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Make up some on clear tape, and throw in a scanner bed. Perhaps on April 1st.

Jack McDevitt shakes an angry fist.

Ted Chiang may be the greatest living sci-fi writer working in English.

Eh, they’re both versions of “Flowers for Algernon.”

Yes, it’s sadly too late for a version of “Understand”, although it was a far better take on super-intelligence than the trite “Limitless”. “The Life Cycle of Software Objects” could be heart-breaking if done right, though.

I posted the title change three days ago on io9's original story on the movie, but my comment never got approved:

Based on the stories about this film I read on io9, I tracked down this Ted Chang short story. It is fantastic, and my interest in this film has skyrocketed. I so hope they do the story justice. Nice to hear that it exists and will come out at some point.

Jesus Christ pal, if it were a “really good tool for finding criminals and solving crimes” then it would have been able to solve a $50 chicken-wing caper in thirty seconds flat.

Counter-Counterpoint:
They can easily be abused, especially in the hands of local law enforcement who don’t take to kindly to the laws.

The outrage over the “bullshit Sansa rape episode” was absolutely absurd to me. It wasn’t even close to the worst thing to happen to someone on that show, and it was entirely off-camera, which is rare for those kinds of terrible actions on that show. I mean, I didn’t enjoy it, but the first thing I thought after the…

Every country does it. The guilt that we as Americans are expected to have for doing it too is ridiculous.

Light speed.

Except it was written before Snowpiercer. High Rise was released in 1975, while the comic that became Snowpiercer came out in 1982.

Well, sure, if only because Snowpiercer was influenced by this much older, culturally well know book. :)
