I'm still not totally thrilled or on-board with this "re-imagining" of Rosemary's Baby (lurve Jason Isaacs and think Zoe Saldana is awesome, but, really? Considering how well the movie holds up to this day, I just don't see this as being necessary). Even with the slight relief of knowing it's only a mini-series and…

I agree. I was never afraid of needles or pain (having lived in constant pain the past 14 years), but a tattoo needle is a different creature entirely. So you build it up in your mind that it's going to hurt so much more than anything else. When I got my first tattoo a couple of years back, I was totally blown away…

I've been fascinated by the glass (h)armonica for years now. I can't remember what it was that initially set off my interest—perhaps it was that scene in the '99 film version of Mansfield Park—but for the longest time I wished I could somehow get my hands on the instrument and learn how to play. Of course, now the…

That was exactly my impression. As Alec Prime was doing his best "swimming with the sharks" routine with Kellog, I could see future Alec (i.e. Cigarette Smoking Man, as I'll always think of William B. Davis) in his face. And I think that's the whole point, to make Keira's choice as to which Alec to get rid of that…

What I don't understand is why nobody else has picked up W13. I mean, Ripper Street was cancelled by BBC America... and immediately picked up by Amazon's fledgling production company. Making last month's series finale into a season finale. Warehouse 13 has so many more stories to tell, at least enough to have given…

This news almost makes me want to sign up for Twitter. Almost. But not quite.

You're not alone—as far as I know, there's no current TV series airing, on the CW or elsewhere, under the name of The Others. There was a series back in 2000 called The Others, which I watched and liked and hated when it was cancelled, but I don't know what show Strauss is talking about. Methinks he's a bit confused.

Actually, since this a new mineral, it probably hasn't been accepted and named by the International Mineralogical Association, so "Putnisite" might simply be a temporary name used by those in the geological community when referencing it. That said, when it is finally named, it's doubtful another, cooler name will be…

Nothing at all, in my mind. That's how I read the books when I was first introduced to them several years ago and how I still read them when it comes times for me to refresh my memory. Then again, I'm fairly anal-retentive when it comes to series, having the need to begin at the beginning and follow through to the…

Oh, I know. After all, we have Glenn Close, Michael Learned, Drew Barrymore, Jeri Ryan, and many others with typically male names, usually re-purposed surnames. Clarke, however, struck me as slightly more outre than normal, as if the author of the original books wanted to shout, "Look, it's the future! Names mean…

So, if the clones do have super-healing, the lung issues the German and now Cosima are dealing with are probably a mutation of that, in that the lung tissue overreacts and creates whatever it is causing the blood on their coughing and, I'm assuming, eventual death. Does that makes sense?

Actually, in the South, raising kids to address their elders as "sir" and "ma'am" is quite commonplace, which has very little to do with the strictness of their parents and more to do with a cultural history of politeness, manners, and respect.

You know, I didn't really have high hopes for this show going into it. I watched the pilot episode thinking, "I am so going to dump this." I was really snarking hard over "Clarke." WTF kind of name is that for a girl, even a future girl? But I decided to watch the second episode, just to be fair. And something…

Actually, it looks like the showrunners decided that since viewers made the insanity that is Sleepy Hollow a surprise hit, why not go for the same kind of throw-everything-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks craziness in a show about the Salem witch trials? I gotta say, this looks so over-the-top and ridiculous, I have…

Damn, Leo's looking old! Crap, that must make me old, too. *grumble, mumble, bitch and moan*

You know, I'm going back over this season in my head and I have absolutely no idea what went on. Bo was on a train. A wanderer- oh, excuse me, a Wanderer (must have that capital letter) lurks. Tamsin grows up really fast. Kenzi... is there. So is Dyson and Hale, but Hale gets killed. Lauren does stuff. And…

I'll join you because that always bothered me, too.

I'd recommend this post a thousand times if I could—you are so right! In fact, I haven't even seen the movie; as soon as I watched the trailers, I could see how much Hollywood had butchered the book and it turned my stomach. I'm afraid that if I actually watch the thing I might just hurl, and I really hate doing…

Just watched the trailer and I actually recognize some of the legitimate science programs those statements from Michio Kaku, Krauss, and other scientists came from. (I couldn't name them specifically—my memory ain't that good!—but I know I watched those programs, mostly on The Science Channel, I'm sure.) They were…

Didn't we do this already with someone else who didn't read (or remember) the source material? Yes, yes we did. *sigh*
