The most disgusting, repugnant video I've ever watched. And watched. And watched. And watched.

Cool. I hadn't heard. Let's just hope they don't **** it up too badly. Who's producing?

Definitely the Expanse trilogy by James S A Corey (the pen name used by collaborators Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.) The first book, Leviathan Wakes was nominated for the 2012 Hugo Award for Best Novel. The second novel, Caliban's War was released June 2012, and the third novel in the series, Abaddon's Gate, was…

The Eagle Transporter on Space: 1999. Easily the best looking, most charismatic character on the show.

I know it was a TV-movie but just saying.

There were actually grumblings at the time that Russel Crowe was a pain in the ass to work with and the studio didn't feel it was worth the effort. The film went on to do well in DVD sales and has developed a strong cult following. Crowe has also, apparently, mellowed after a number of box office bombs and has…

I would take a good Canadian whisky over most Irish whiskies, any day. The problem is that the good ones are very hard to get outside of Canada. And they're very different drinks. Canadian whisky has a much higher proportion of rye and is spicier and fruitier than Irish. As for Japanese, it depends on the whiskey. The…

That's a little simplistic, don't you think? To be more precise, bourbon tastes like fruitcake and candied nuts...and is made for ladies. Scotch tastes like fire and smoked mud filtered through used gauze bandages...and is made for men. There. Better.

Could it also have something to do with how often people go shopping? In big North American cities, most people do regular shopping, weekly or biweekly. But when I lived in rural France, people stopped by a local market or village stores for bread, eggs and vegetables almost daily. The thought of having two weeks…

I've been using active noise-cancelling headphones for years. I won't fly without 'em. If you don't want to shell out $300 for the Bose, both JVC and Sony make decent headphones for under $100. They're not as good but will still improve your flying experience considerably. You'll find you can listen to music or the…

I try to only read so-called hard SF. At the moment, I'm really enjoying The Lost Fleet series written by John G. Hemry under the pen name Jack Campbell. The series deals with future wars between humans and maybe aliens. I don't want to say too much. Hemry's only liability is very brief descriptions of people and…

At the very least, it would have been pretty cool to shoot flashback scenes that could be incorporated into a few episodes of the new series.

Selective editing. We get to see the couple that thought it was funny. What about all the people who were pissed off and screaming? Or the abusive husband who smacked his wife because she dragged him to Ikea? We don't even know these aren't actors.

Depends on the party. But in my younger days I was far too busy drinking, dancing and chatting up hotties to be doing pranks on anyone.

I hope it has nothing to do with intelligence. I just find pranks to be cruel. They usually play on people's goodness or naiveté. I love good humour but don't need it at someone else's expense. Except the French, of course. And the Jews. Also Greeks. What's with them? And the Irish! Oh, never mind ;)

I really don't get pranks. They all come across as mean, stupid and childish. Honestly, I could see 12 year olds doing something like this.

It's from Acadian.

I want to watch but can't watch because I'm only halfway through season 7 but must watch but not caught up but hit play and saw Paul McGann and now and now and now........aaaaarrrrrgh! Sigh.

Well, duh. In the words of the late, great Frederik Pohl, "You can't really predict the future. All you can do is invent it." And, wow, did they ever. Yes, they were way off on a lot of stuff (especially computer technology and medical advancements) but they also hit the mark in a lot of ways. But, beyond that, all…

You're trying to hard. It's the characters. With the exception of Coulson they're pretty and boring. There's little chemistry between any of them. I've always loved Ming-na Wen, but a character that's written as distant and cold is going to come across as, well, distant and cold. Spend a few minutes with the…
