I've watched Supernatural forever, and I still don't know what an angel looks like. Maybe they do look like these:

Penn & Teller say it best ...

Regarding your mercantile comparison of Cyclops and Wolverine and the assertion that Wolverine's over-saturation of the media is "imperial proof " that he is "cooler" than Cyclops ... while I support and join in your conclusion, it is imperative that I note that the type of proof you offer is "empirical proof" (which…

Apathy?

As long as no one decides to smash a giant space station containing an alien bioweapon into Venus, everything should be peachy, vortex or no.....

Can I just say that I really want the Machine interface for a screensaver?

I keep thinking about this when I watch this season of Person of Interest:

Earlier today, Rudd released this clip.

No POI? Not even Samaritan coming online?

Seriously? Best? That had me mockingly laughing out loud in the first few minutes of the new show, before I even knew enough to mock the show with the full justification it earned.

That... certainly answers the technology-related questions I had, at the cost of gutting the premise. WMG: "Ascension" refers to the project's real purpose, to create the psychics mentioned in the article.

It was bad. The twist was unwelcome, I would rather have a show about a generation ship than Bio-Dome meets The Truman Show...IN SPACE!!! This is not SF, it is a police procedural on a fake space ship. It has no interest in using these people, isolated from the rest of humanity for 50 years, to tell us how they deal…

Well there's Sleepy Hollow, which oddly enough has the same creators as several of the shows listed.

This already happened, 31 years ago!
