I have only Supernatural fandom to blame. Devil/angel is always on our minds.

Why is the Tasmanian Devil dead? Did I miss a plot development, or is the assumption that angels are made out dead things? I was assuming that it was just a cutesy devil/angel pun...

Agreeing with Charlie—I put more weight into infusing magic into reality than into creating magic from nearly whole cloth.

I did have my tea this morning, so I don't have a lack of antioxidants to blame for not being able to parse this sentence:

>reducing science to mere curiosity

>they will stop at whatever first satisfies that curiosity

But really, tho...

And it's described a lot of scientists, and no doubt the communities intersect—what's the downside again?

My bad. I thought the argument needed someone to believe what is up for debunking, otherwise you'd just call it "Saying Things That Are True". (Next one in the series: How the Earth is not Cylindrical, in three movements)

Since kids aren't born with any professional mindsets, do you honestly think that's what's being claimed? That a guy like Tyson thinks they're actually born with all the critical tools to be an anything, much less a scientist which he knows more intimately than his audience does?

>It's more than an interest in the world around you, which pretty much everyone has

Since I figure being born as any one of those three is only slightly more likely than popping ex utero with not one but two test tubes, I'm still good with the effectiveness of the metaphor.

I'm at work, and I can't get away with watching any video more complicate than frolicking kittens (as which I hope this qualifies), but please tell me my secret boyfriend Beach looks more like Steve Harvey than just this.

Fair cop. However, considering the movies they've individually made? I'd be naive to cling too tight to correlation and deem it of any predictive use.

Doesn't this all depend on what "born scientist" means? I mean, if I were to think it means "born with a white lab coat on and two test tubes" I'm going to say no, most every time. But if it means "born with an urge to experiment and a desire to know"—is there anything harmless about considering that the default…

The sentence "they needed closure and they never got it" doesn't apply, and that's the entire scope of my first response. The statement "they need closure and they won't get it" is way to pessimistic for me to be about a good show without evidence, so I always like to find out what people know that I don't.

You need to skim through this http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000151/#Actor and http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000323/#Actor (Caine clearly leading with 150% of Freeman's work) and check and see if there's any correlation between either the quality of the actor or the acting job and the movie itself.

If you can't wrap up a show in 13 episodes given three seasons, you were out of control to start with, and I'm not going to cry you lost your job.
