It would be "nice" if bigoted, misogynistic individuals were only found in "religious" groups. It would be easier to find them. Unfortunately such men can be found any where and any place. And it doesn't take a "religion" to try and cover such acts up, or make excuses for them.

I love this book. I read it this year, and it is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I think it will be hard to translate to film. The book is brilliant because of the writing. Susanna Clarke is an amazingly talented writer. The book is huge, but I never lost interest, despite it lacking a strong and…

I can't wait to hear this. I believe I will start my new year reading this book in anticipation of hearing that amazing cast perform it as a radio play.

I was thinking the same thing. No one actually "sees" her, except the audience. I guess the Doctor may recognize her voice, but since he didn't see her I can't imagine he'll make the connection quickly. More likely later, if she mentions Oswin as either another name that she's known by or even later, as her daughter.

oh my goodness. I almost forgot about that toy. Loved that thing. Yes, I can still hear it's sounds. Such a simple yet fun toy.

no, after my brother died my parents couldn't handle seeing anything that was "his". They boxed it and hid it for years, then finally threw it away. I don't blame them, because it was so painful, but I would have liked to hold on to some of those things.

My greatest technology memories are also from when I was around 7 or 8. I had a brother who had a terminal brain tumor, and as a result we were given lots of tech toys by various organizations. Our favorite was a Coleco Telstar Arcade. The two of us spent hours playing with that thing. I loved the shooting game (it…

Is that really evolution or would it be considered adaptation? I think the two are often combined, but I thought they were different scientifically. I'm not trying to be snarky, it's an honest question. :)

I can't imagine how hard it was for Hataway to lose 25lbs. That would not be so hard if she were heavy to start with, but she was already slim. That's a lot of weight. I remember Uma Thurman in the last one, and she looked like death she was so thin (and even though I didn't like that version of the movie, she was…

Why was there no mention of Ron Glass? They mention the character once, but not a word about working with him or what he thought of the series.

I was thinking that too. But, it would be weird for Walter to call him Donald, why would he do that? But Bell was my first guess., because who else could help Walter make the pocket universe?

Well, I liked it. It brought a smile to my face. In fact, I watched it last night and woke up thinking about it and had to watch it again. We don't get the Science Channel, so I won't get to see the special. I wish I could. I been re-watching the series this past month. It's what I watch while at the gym on the…

:) Yes, I meant "Belly", but I have a hard time typing it that way. Putting it in quotes does make me it better.

Wow, I thought it was a solid episode, much better than last week's. I agree with what others are saying, that the bullet is the one that Walter shot in her head.

Is everyone sick of talking about Apple? Because I have an Apple question. We are getting my son an iPod for his 13th birthday, which is in a week. He didn't want a 3DS or a Vita, he's been wanting an iPod. So I waited to see the new one. The thing is the price tag is steep. $300 is $100 over my original budget…

I need the "like" button for your post. A lot is spent on education in this country, but it's not going to the students. Money is wasted at the administration level, money that could be used for more teachers, books, and supplies. Teachers should be paid more, schools should not be without necessary books, paper,…

I know. $300 for this is too high. I had wanted to get this for my son, but I can't see spending that much when I could get a tablet. I had thought it would be $250.

I would say the Nexus 7. We have a Kindle Fire, and it's annoying that you're stuck with only Kindle apps. They sell stuff in their app store that doesn't work on their device. Silly. I would go with the Nexus 7. We also own an iPad, and my husband likes the smaller size of the Kindle, but I think the Nexus 7…

I don't believe the claim has ever been that organic food is more nutritious. The goal in eating organic is to consume less pesticides, and to have less pesticides used on the crops therefore less pesticides leaching into the water supply. The study seems to purposely miss the point.

so is this another companion that we get to see sacrifice herself (even though she's a Dalek) for the Doctor, but then he goes and encounters her in a time before it all happens? I hope not, but I'm guessing that's where it's going. I'm also hoping that telling the Daleks about the Doctor again is not what the…
