Not liking Fox News makes one "left-wing?" That's adorable.

"And another, where his son died but wife died."

You know what? I think a theme song for science is the coolest idea I've heard all day. Someone with musical ability (so, so very not me) should get on this immediately.

Scissoring doesn't require any accessories.

Also not hating. After the new one ended, I thought I should check out the original, and it is jaw-droppingly terrible.

Yeah! Like Joss did with Buffy!

2) Ah, now I see the problem. I didn't read the article.

Comparing fines for theft and copyright infringement is a bit of a red herring, though. As the pro-piracy folks are so quick to remind everyone, piracy is not theft.

Lots of blackmail talk here, which I don't think holds up too well. A key component of the idea of blackmail, from a legal standpoint, is whether the person/group making the demand has reasonable grounds to do so. CDP obviously believes that they have reasonable grounds to be making the demand. I'll agree that the…

Not from the perspective of the game publisher. A person making the decision to pirate a game or not knows that he'll probably beat the odds and never be caught. But if publishers did as you suggest, the worst thing that could happen to a pirate would be they pay retail price.

I'm no expert here, but the same alarm bells were going off for me while reading the article. What about gay men? If you google "HPV gay men" and look at the very first link, it addresses the points you list above.

I'd say that it provides more detail to the first couple of seasons, but by necessity, it spoils some of the big reveals of the series. The latest one I can think of, off the top of my head, is something that happens in the 15th episode of the 4th season.

Well, back when B5 was first airing, you could find JMS on usenet a lot. The gist, I'm sure, of what I am half-remembering from 15 years ago you guys have covered what with the trap doors and things.

Don't watch 'The Plan' until the very, very end. At that point, if you really loved the series, check it out. But it will spoil nearly everything, and it's totally non-essential.

Holy hell, I forgot about that vorlon/angel thing. @artiofab, your argument has been reduced to "3 things both shows arguably did", and "it was on TV first."

Oh, *sigh* yourself. We're saying the same thing, in that B5 didn't end where JMS originally intended. Besides that, your post seems to be competing in a "who knows the most about B5 production notes circa 1996" contest, and I happily cede victory to you.

First, I liked B5. Own it on DVD even. But it makes me mental when people point to it as an example of how BSG should have been structured. Yes, yes, 5 year plan and all that. But, they thought that show was going to get shit-canned, blasted through the "end" of the story in the 4th season, and were left to pad out a…

Thanks for this, it's just what I was thinking too. Cosplay isn't my thing (at all) but Kotaku would be presenting a more consistent editorial front if they were focused on the *best* cosplayers, instead of the *sexiest* cosplayers, wouldn't they? Or if the sexiest cosplayers included a dude?

The oilsands are messy, no question. I don't really think I'd agree with the term "emotional blackmail," though. It's a real question of choice. America can:

The article you link kind of proves the point though, doesn't it? Banning texting and driving makes things more dangerous, but only because the idiots who would do that in the first place are still doing it, but now staring into their laps to hide the phone from the police.
