This became quite the long conversation, and I don't really want to jump in in the middle somewhere, I just want to add:

For everyone mentioning regeneration being a factor in what makes Doctor Who all one show, or anyone who says Star Trek series have separate ships, crews, stories, etc., do keep in mind that TOS,…

I'm pretty sure I only voted in two rounds... is the io9 March Madness over yet? I don't even know.

And where can you go to bitch and complain?! Why your own personal blog! Everyone has their own personal blog which, thanks to the Kinja system, will be fully integrated with io9, so it'll be like your blog posts are…

200 years? http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Docto…

On the one hand, yes, The Doctor is centuries older than Rose, but on the other hand, The Tenth Doctor was "born" in Rose's presence, so she knew him as an "infant". Trying to put a proper age on The Doctor is difficult when you factor in regeneration, just judge him on maturity, and if they get along, fine.

Yeah, but I have to figure buying all those machines and setting them up across the province couldn't have been cheap; throwing them out just seems like a waste.

I agree with your points, but it was a bit wordy, so here's my advice:

...I think I would have voted for Angel. I mean, we all love Buffy, but... demon lawyers and rarely a scene without at least one character in a sweet duster? Gotta go with Angel.

No offense to Twin Peaks, but how did it get the second seed when it went out so early?

And while I did vote TNG (it simply came down to which show raised me, which show deeply influenced the core of the person I am today), I kind of do hope it goes out here, so that I can unabashedly vote for Who in the final and not…

That's the show! I was thinking it was 1800s, for some reason, but given that I'd watched two episodes back-to-back, and it would seem logical that they were in order (the other one was definitely the World War II episode), I would have to conclude it was the Restoration episode.

Does this mean we're out of the uncanny valley!?!

I like having a list of everything that's there, everything that exists, everything that's possible, all in one easy to access, easy to look through place, yes.

Wait, what!?

Couldn't the government have done, like, all of those things?

On the one hand: it worked for Worf.

I have never had a computer that properly worked with wireless stuff. I had a laptop that could connect to a wireless network... never did unless it was a few feet from the router. I have a desktop with some sort of wireless receiver thingy... doesn't work unless it's a few feet away from the router. There's a…

Yeah, but then they can't charge you $50 when you lose your cord because you have no other option, it's not like all the other cords you own for other devices will work.

I don't know if they did DMV renewals exactly, but the Ontario had ATM-like kiosks in malls and what not to do some sort of automated stuff with licences or vehicles or whatever. Then they got hacked, or something, and now the government has shut the entire project down. So while having to go in person might be…

More interesting question to ask: If you could have one smartphone for free, how many of you would select the new BlackBerry?

I would actually much prefer a Windows phone over the new Blackberry. I mean, I know I would fucking hate the thing, and it would infuriate me to no end, and would ultimately end up being pretty useless, but... it's just so pretty. The bold, clean colours on the tiles... mmm, I just want to touch one.

Every teeny-bopper I know (or at least close to it) has or wants an iPhone or iPod Touch. They think of Blackberries as old-timey crap their parents use, and I'm not sure they are even aware of what Android is (gets confusing for them, I mean, they don't know what iOS, they just love Apple mobile, and since Android…
