Do you typically judge the merits of a series based solely on their worst episodes?

This is the exact same experience I had with this song, except swap "roommate" with "brother."

I'd recommend the 720p upscale torrent. The series is still only available on DVD, but whoever did the upscale did a pretty good job.

Watch it watch it watch it. I myself am nearing the end of season two, and it went from being above-average kid's cartoon to truly excellent animated show. It's at a point now where I'd rank it amongst the DCAU and Samurai Jack, which is not praise I give lightly.

Yeah, this is the one episode of JLU that I'm not rewatching. So hamfisted, and frankly, Hawk and Dove aren't very interesting.

I'll, uh, assume that reply was meant for someone else.

So in the movie, Zod states that, as revenge for Superman taking away everything he cared about, he's going to start killing people. Superman and Zod begin fighting in a whirl of CGI, causing vast amounts of destruction and probable death that Superman doesn't seem all that concerned about until a few people are…

For many, the problem was not the kill in and of itself, it was the terribly shoddy execution of the entire scene.

Mongul's use of the Black Mercy is without a doubt one of the cruelest things I've ever seen.

Man, this game. My buddy and I watched his brother play it, and when he started to make the final climb up the mountain and they started collapsing, the room was dead silent. It stayed that way until the end of the game. 
Easily my pick for best game of 2012, and if forced to make a top ten list of my favourite games…

I know it's been two years, but I'd love to learn more about this.

If you're reluctant to read Snow Crash, I would instead recommend The Diamond Age, which is less about somewhat dated cyberspace and more about nanotechnology.

If I may make an unusual recommendation: don't bother with King Rat, his first novel. Speaking from personal experience, once you've been exposed to Mieville's more imaginative and out-there work, King Rat ends up feeling somewhat pedestrian. Not bad by any means, but lacking in what makes Mieville Mieville.

They won't do it while Game of Thrones is still on air, but I really hope HBO adapts Perdido Street Station and its sequels.

He doesn't…dislike them.

A better movie would have Jor-El tell Clark that this freedom allows Clark to be whatever he wants to be, do whatever he wants to do; be a symbol of hope, or a great scientist, or even live a simple life farming. Clark would then latch on to the 'symbol' idea and go on to create Superman.

Here's an example: Jor-El explains to Superman that Kryptonian babies are given a role in society before birth, and aren't allowed to choose for themselves. He didn't want that for his son.

Collars for everyone!

I don't have much to add, only that this three-parter is much, much better than Man of Steel. Controversial opinion, I know, but I had the misfortune of watching that movie yesterday and I'm still irritated by how stupid it was.

Funny how Jon's hair followed the same trajectory as Benjamin Sisko's.
