It's from a third season episode of The X-Files, Jose Chung's 'From Outer Space.'

"I didn’t spend all those years playing Dungeons and Dragons without learning something about courage."

The thing is that, while Tesla was certainly a genius, he also made a lot of claims to have developed things for which he provided not only no proof, but no demonstration. His adherents may, in some cases, simply be repeating Tesla's own stories. That doesn't mean he wasn't telling the truth, though; it simply means…

"Jordan would spend a paragraph or more describing actions or events that could be summarized in a sentence."

The difference between genre fiction and literary fiction is that genre fiction is very often what could be described as commodity fiction. It's like mass-produced, cheap chocolate bars — nummy while you're consuming it, but quickly forgotten, and probably not very good for you. Literary fiction aspires to be the…

Points.

Yeah, but there's just something extra weird about this one. It isn't an animated .gif is it? For some reason, I keep seeing it moving.

Spoilers have a shelf life, especially a spoiler for a year-old TV show based on a 15-year-old novel.

Is it just me, or is that picture of Conan oddly disturbing?

I don't know. Is there a supervillain who's basically just a con man? I can't think of one off the top of my head.

To hear Claremont and John Byrne tell it, Harras was hard to work for. Byrne described the period he returned to X-Men as a writer as being hired to type the scripts, because Harras…

This sort of thing is the reason I stopped buying X-Men after 35 years.

It looks like Jericho. And Falling Skies. And 20 other shows in some way or another. I didn't see anything particularly new.

The big problem I have with this plot line — the biggest problem — is the idea of both universes collapsing. Sure, if you think of reality as a wave function, I can grok the idea of a wave function collapsing. The thing is that the wave function couldn't collapse any faster than the speed of light. That means it would…

Why not? They already own all the governments.

I hate it when reviews write ambiguous reviews like that that don't really tell you what they think of the movie.

"The slowness of eternity, the clawing hunger for something — anything — to warm your dead insides. By then, it will be too late, and your emptied husk will stagger out of the theater."

Either incredibly cute or traumatic-nightmare inducing. Probably depends on the context.

It's a hiver.

Promise?
