The return went as smoothly as an atmospheric reentry can go. The shuttle parked at the end of Kennedy's 15, three-quarters of the way along fifteen thousand feet of concrete. The astronauts radioed their successful touchdown, and waited.

Evolution may be the cruelest thing in the universe.

You just kill a helicopter with a terminator.

Aww, you don't like being disagreed with? Face it, they're forcing so many heroes in this, each is going to have about five minutes of screen time, with nothing to devote to plot. Not that I expect much of one after how horribly Man of Steel went off the rails. I'm not sure what hero that was, but he certainly wasn't…

I believe that's also the same book, with them using the object found by the squids on Cruithne. Baxter's descriptions of other universes always sounds just detailed enough to be perfectly reasonable.

So, outside of the person we know is a robot, who turns out to be a robot in the end?

I'd like a bit more specificity with regards to the word "education" in the last part of the study. What sort of educational focus, what institutions?

That's the one.

Oh, my opinion disagrees with yours, so I'm an idiot. Ah, well, at least I'm not a cunt.

Yeah, I saw that, too. Frightening.

One of Stephen Baxter's Manifold books include a wave of super intelligent children being born as a result of interference from people in the future. I don't recall which, but hey, read all three of those books, they're brilliant. That one in particular, though, had a somewhat disappointing but believable response…

So, is this going to be related at all to the upcoming Batman V. Superman flop?

Rather than a specific thing, it's a group of people. Bronies. I don't get them, but I don't get the obsessive hate against a group of people who aren't hurting anyone. They're just fans of a show. They're no more dangerous or screwed up than Browncoats or Trekies.

Our group started playing The Strange a few weeks ago. It began pretty dark and intense, worlds in danger and all that. It's devolved into this weird dark-comedy, with unexpected alliances and sudden betrayals, among both the PCs and NPCs. It's sort of turned into The Filth. Definitely looking forward to modern magic…

"Hacker."

And on June 12th, 2015, I will be somewhere other than a movie theater, watching something other than this awful looking movie.

I can't meh hard enough at this. A white Tiger Lily, Peter and Hook as friends, oh, and of course he's a special boy from a special place, rather than just a boy who refused to grow up and thought his parents rejected him. I've never actually been one of those "rabble rabble, the lore!" people before, but the story is…

I've been working at a tribal casino for about five years, in soft count. We come out early morning, and pull cash cans from every slot machine. Our casino has an eclectic collection of extremely old machines that still use physical reels and have little in the way of features, up to modern multi-screen systems with…

Oh, nice! Captain Jack Harkness and Adam were both favorite episodes, I never realized they were written by the same person. It'll be good to bring in someone who has proven capable at writing well paced, personal episodes.

Oh, shit, now I kind of want to start playing again.
