So this reminds me when I was part of a tour group in another country with a bunch of ppl who had never seen whales. We had an option one day, go on a whale watching tour or go see these massively ancient awesome beautiful caves. Guess which we did. So why all these ppl are going "ooooooh look at the whales!", I…

Except that secular nations have ppl who have probably had to form a moral standard through an analytical thought process rather than accepting one thru fear. It's like kids who know their parents will never punish them are more likely to break the rules than kids who know they will be punished are more likely to…

The perception of pain and the response to pain can be measure both subjectively and objectively. The current fashion is to rely exclusively on the subjective measure. That is an incomplete approach. This is the only area I can think of in which the pts report is taken as a definitive diagnostic. Noone walks in…

well it should involve neural activity from the point of pain up to the processing point usually in the brain. too bad we can't see that.

Oh that's sweet.

Here's what I see

For now they just have to pass as being from Maine, Vt or Northern NY.

It's not gonna be a hate train so much as a WTF, how did you not see the political msgs present since the start of the series? train. I expect the most negative you'll get is pity rather than hate.

So first of all thank you Swhy/Fwhy/NBC/Universal. Your 30 day delay on hulu is a really good reason to hate you, and I need more hate in my life. That's my way of saying I haven't seen the ep so I am commenting blind here people. This ep could be a good way to demonstrate the importance of multiple intelligences…

Ah, haven't seen it yet, but there you go. It could also be those aliens that seeded the StarTrek universe so that there are humanoid species every where. Yea, that's probably where I got my idea. That and the fact that most myths and passages from the bible(if you don't already consider them myths) just scream…

Did you read my original comment before you cut and pasted? Or any of the subsequent discussion? My lack of joy is less with those one dimensional sexist characters and more with the way they have been repeatedly changed from that original. The second sentence was directed at the ppl who remake them, to let them…

Oh good call, and that made me think of total recall too. Actually maybe some of the AI/robot stories about what makes a person a person with an identity work too. I believe that every story is a rehash re mix of ones that came before, with each being a bit morphed so that eventually you have what looks like a new…

Maybe it will be more like Wicked

I like to be surprising. It's one of my vanities. Though just for clarity and honesty, To anyone not up on all the t.v. I watch. everyone of those was done by someone else, except the ancient aliens thing, though you could argue stargate sort of went there. In order, Firefly, 17th precinct AND paradox,…

If I could come up with stuff like that, I would have a lot more money than I do. I guess I want a scifi western mash up with witty dialogue, catchy linguistics and equal parts meaning and comedy. Or maybe a supernatural police procedural in a world that has never heard of science and has it replaced by magic. Ah,…

I missed the word 'fans' and read it as each of the characters screaming.

Wow. This remaking of Disney Princess stories is way past it's prime for me. In the original form they are sexist' one dimensional pitiful role models for girls(and boys) and maybe could be improved, check, got it. And I don't hate remake/reboots on principle. And I can see this is about the villain not the…

How drunk was that octopus?

Anyone else keep seeing stuff about this movie and clicking on it because you think it is the other TED, the lecture series?

and when authors do that it's just as annoying as the former. deus ex is deus ex.
