I could agree with what you're saying depending on what you mean by "unless that is the one and only image you are seeing." It probably isn't a bit problem for society (and in this day an age, we have enough big problems to avoid making mountains out of molehills) unless most or all images are this way. However, it…

I invite anyone who has that specific critique of the episode to chime in and answer your question.

That's quite a lot of straw man that you're putting out there for people who didn't care for BSG's ending.

Not an accurate synopsis. In a capitalist economy, the person paying today generally chooses to pay the least amount today, regardless of long-term costs. This is because of habitually flawed thinking but also because future savings produced by a higher up-front cost may be realized by someone else as in the case of…

None of the article seems to actually undermine the premise that LOST's ending is tremendously unsatisfying — it just argues that it is unsatisfying for reasons other that those commonly cited.

I don't know why I watch trailers for things that I already know that I'm going to watch...

@LucasReis: I honestly always feel as if I'm being mocked whenever I have tuned in for BBT.

Just remember that what the commercial is saying is that Alienware's customer is a domination-driven buffoon.

This is one of those things where either crassly transgressive characters with no social awareness make you laugh or cause you searing mental anguish.

They key here is that I don't think the game is confused. The game is mixed. There are elements of the game that play it pretty straight (girlfriend beheaded, lamentation) but because you're supposed to be in the driver's seat, there are also elements which are subversive (go to the funeral in a hotdog suit,…

I don't think that computers, the internet, or social media are destroying culture or humanity. I do think that an ever increasing amount of our culture and knowledge are being stored on external media instead of in our brains. That could either be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how you want to write the…

@Henry_Jekyll: Yeah, I'm with Rory on this one.

@SpammerOvTheGods: Look closer?

This is so far from the first time that I've seen something this flatly unacceptable posted by a starred commenter, and generally they seem to keep their stars. What's your feeling here, Crescente? Clearly, this post has to be personally offensive to you. There are lots of people commenting here also expressing…

She's shooting at the person holder her rope!

Because she's cosplaying Lara Croft?

I was the child of the mother that you described, and I was the college student that you described. I've lived it, and a burning desire for some more entertainment content is not pleasant, but ultimately I found it very valuable to learn to make some real choices about what I wanted and how money played into that. …

As genuinely thoughtful material, it beats out the series that you mentioned. Caprica though? I'll need to watch more of Outcasts to find out, but I adored Caprica for what it was, even if I feared from the beginning that it was too ambitious to find an audience.

I was always told that Doctor Who was generally regarded as a children's show even during the original series' run. Did I hear wrong?

I don't think that the majority of the people who are saying "It's not theft" in this thread and making the finely sliced legally semantic point that you're making when they say it. I think that mostly "it's not theft" is being said as code for "it's totally OK."
