The multiple, contradictory, slightly insane descriptions of what happened on "Bloody Sunday," as seen here, also perfectly encapsulate how religious splits form.

See, I'm surprised there's no mention of the older, hilariously flopped digital CCGs like ChronX.

I'm normally also pretty loathe to criticize child actors, especially ones given some pretty heavy material (moving on from a past of horrible abuse and accepting that the suffering wasn't entirely heaping on you), but Agbaje's performance really is one of the weak points of the episode. The voice she does when…

Yeah, because Douglas Adams was the first guy to make up some bullshit science to explain why aliens can understand each other.

I suspect the actual movie's going to be a lot funnier than this and Marvel's busting their ass to try and make it look like an action movie first and a comedy second out of pants-wetting fear that people won't take it seriously.

I'd be willing to give "The After" a shot based solely on the presence of Aldis Hodge. Even if the show's total ass, he's earned enough goodwill with me on "Leverage" that I'm willing to try it out.

"Colin Baker had to play the Doctor as borderline psychotic for reasons that we will charitably assume made sense at the time."
There is a reason that makes sense, it's just a rotten one. Namely, the show was saddled with a producer who didn't want to work on it and was deliberately trying to sink it so he could do…

I'd believe the Onstar guys wouldn't go to the trouble to verify Skye's identity. Any time I've used my AAA card to get a tow truck, not only do they not check my ID they don't even verify I have a card on me at the time. There's literally nothing stopping me from getting someone else's car towed to my house (or…

Based on this description, I can't help but think that this is how the historical "47 Ronin" story would have played out in the "Ninja Scroll" universe.

Maybe this is because I live in a 'party school' area, but I don't see anything in that description that differentiates Booger from any other modern college student, hipster or not.

Wow, nothing about the scratch and sniff cards Fox produced as a promotional gimmick for the fourth one?

Ah, I'd forgotten briefly about that one. And yeah, it would be something in that vein, just drawn out over the course of several episodes and without rewriting his history.

Regarding the Daleks' absence from the original series for a time, I once heard a rumor that they were to be the original villains of what eventually became the original Battlestar Galactica. I don't know if that's true or not, though.

Oh, I agree with you. But he went out of his way to include more of what he thought the Trekkies would want (especially after the reaction to the first one, which veers really really close to that Onion video from when it came out). And what they want is retreads of old characters. JJ openly admits to the fact that he…

I can see why he would have used Khan (after all, we all know that if he didn't, for the rest of his time working with the franchise people would be asking him "When are you gonna do Khan"), but it felt to me like Star Trek Into Darkness was made with the assumption that the audience would know who the character is.…

I don't see how it would have alienated non-Trekkies more than having Khan in the movie and not at all explaining the significance of the character beyond Spock Prime explaining that he is a very bad man.

I could conceivably see that any United Nations country might need permission to launch nukes if there are aliens involved — especially since UNIT is still tied to the UN at this point. Sort of an "in case of emergency, let UNIT investigate first and make sure these things don't eat nuclear warheads" protocol.

I'm pretty sure that Giant Blue Korra came from Korra plugging herself in to the raw cosmic power of the universe.

Well, that partially comes down to whether you count the novels or not. The Doctor Who EU is complicated about on the same level as Star Wars. But it's made clear way back in "Three Doctors" that getting multiple versions of the same Doctor in one place for any length of time, especially in a way where they're aware…

Incidentally, the "All teeth and curls" line about the Fourth Doctor's appearance was originally supposed to be Sarah Jane's line, not the Third Doctor's. I don't know off-hand if it was the writers or Pertwee that decided 'damn the continuity, the Doctor gets that line,' but there you go.
