And cost a lot of money to pull off? ;)

That Wonder Woman costume looks extremely uncomfortable. Why don't female superheroes ever get to incorporate sports bras into their uniforms?

1. Yay for Crowley being back (!), though I completely agree about this episode being really confusing. It makes perfect sense for Cas to be working with Crowley, because neither of them want to let "Apocalypse II: The Armageddoning" happen. They both have a vested interest in keeping that Cage closed (and so does…

I'm still angry that Crowley's dead.

I still consider "Slaughterhouse Five" to be one of the best books I've read (and I've read a lot). It was the first Vonnegut I'd ever read, and will always be my favorite.

Castiel spin-off? I'd totally watch that!

I think this says it all. And the article title made me giggle. Thanks, Meredith.

I'd put Smaug at the top of the list, but then I've never read the Temeraire series (just added it to my list, though). However, "The Hobbit" has been my favorite book since the fifth grade, and his conversation with invisible Bilbo is one of my favorite parts of the story.

I thought this was a great episode! The jokes were awesome, and while some of them were cliche, Supernatural usually has a way of delivering them that still makes them funny.

You know, phrases like "eyebrow boner" are what make me love to read io9 reveiws. Thanks, Annalee.

I've had the same experience. Many self-professed Libertarians I've met would consider things like emergency response or municipal hygiene services to be "rights", but they certainly don't want to pay for them. And in a Libertarian "utopia", if you have the money to take care of that for yourself, you're golden -…

It's interesting to think of a Libertarian "utopia" being a society without authority (seems a little more anarchist than Libertarian). If people were truly brought up to believe in and respect the autonomy of others, then perhaps it would be possible for members of society to coexist peacefully without it. But I…

Bravo!

The biggest WTF?! for me was the fact that the boys were driving a Mustang with racing stripes - and then finding out that Balthazar's little trip back in time somehow caused the Impala never to be made. It definitely brought home how much the Impala is an essential part of the show.

I just finished reading both her "reviews". Sounds like someone watched a few clips and glanced at Wikipedia entries, which somehow qualified her to authoritatively miss the point of Supernatural (you need young brain cells to understand the plot, Gina? Really?) and speculate about what brings in female viewers for…

Agreed. "The Hobbit" has been my favorite book since I was ten.

For anyone interested in the little-known backstories and the evolution of the periodic table, "The Disappearing Spoon" by Sam Kean is really enjoyable. You'll have to read it with two bookmarks, though - it's best to read the endnotes as you progress through the meat of it.

Many of my favorite books were written by Diana Wynne Jones. I particularly enjoyed the Derkholm and Chrestomanci books. The world is a less magical place without her.

Your reading of the review was quite different than mine. My impression is that Analee was blasting the film for its sexist drivel. And judging from what I've seen of it, I have to agree with her.

Agreed.
