I’m about half way through the season, so I read your comment with eyes ready to dart away mid-sentence (not necessary), but I understand your investment in Klaus. Initially by far the most annoying character of the Academy, he’s become the most compelling, sympathetic character for me (even before his trip to…

Can we just go ahead and start calling Alpha “Reverse Carol”?

Disagree. It’s the best Sci-Fi show on TV. At least until The Expanse returns. It’s one of the few shows I’ve seen that deals with the possibility of time travel with consideration and imagination, without resorting to timey-wimey hand waving paradox solutions (I love Doctor Who more than anything else in the history…

Couldn’t they have prevented the loss of viewership to the return of Luther by casting Idris Elba as Ryan’s dad?

I like to think of that as foreshadowing the greatest crossover event in the history of television.

At one point the Hilltop-bound wagon and its escort went quite silent as Connie peered into the woods. When asked what she’d seen, Connie signs “nothing”, but clearly she saw something. Could this be connected to the strange walker behavior alluded to in the trailer for next week’s ep, or perhaps to the seemingly…

Sure, but only in that timeline in which Sarah Jane didn’t step inside a police box to hide.

This is the Dr Who I grew up with every Saturday evening watching it in black and white on the BBC.

I remember seeing Halloween when it first came out in the 70's. Friend of mine convinced me to forego the college bar and go see a film double header by an upcoming American director, John Carpenter: Assault on Precinct 13 and Halloween. This was the local art house theater in a well known British college town, more…

“Dearest Allie, Oh how I wish I could be there with you now. But the weather outside is frightful and I’m holed up inside a cavern with a raptor and another allosaur (don’t be jealous, she only has eyes for the raptor). But, guess what? We’ve decided to have a writing contest! I may finally get to write that novel…

QUILL: Just take the helicarrier to a friendly place, man.

FURY: This is Titan, we ain’t got no motherfuckin’ friendly places here.

QUILL: What you doing?

FURY: Calling my partner. If Phil’s ass ain’t home I don’t know what the fuck we’re gonna do, because I ain’t got no other partners in this part of the solar system...…

Yeah, I heard that on the news today, oh boy! But they were rather small; I know because I had to count them all!

I can’t remember ever falling so deeply in love with a TV show in such a short space of Time. Even season one of Mr. Robot, of which there are many Echoes in Legion, not least an ingenious examination of our perceptions of mental illness, wasn’t this dazzling. It will Breathe such new and sparkling life into a genre…

While I don’t watch any after shows, this show no doubt has more talking points than most and probably generates more opinions than most. Should make for a great discussion group. Although most of the discussion of season one focussed, understandably, on hacking and the digitalization of our society I felt it was just…

I haven’t read the comic at all, but that scene was my favorite of the premier and, as Tulip drove away, I hoped very much that that little girl would reappear, inspired to great and probably quite awful deeds, later, maybe season 3 or 4. But then, I’m still waiting for Copperhead’s daughter to take her revenge on…

Omg, just saw her laid to rest last night! Too soon.

But doctors often prescribe an antibiotic if they believe there might be a bacterial infection. If there is indeed a bacterial infection, a placebo would do little or nothing to remedy the symptoms and would likely delay the patient from returning to the doctor for follow up as the symptoms continue or worsen. If…

“Who. Wheel. Die?”

Well, I loved All The Birds In The Sky, so if that was written with distractions I’m very much looking forward to the next, distraction-free novel. You will be terribly missed here, but can’t wait to follow your post-io9 creativity.

I’m so glad you miswrote that title. Had I read Five Million Miles To Earth it would have meant nothing to me, but Quatermass and the Pit is now in the DVR queue. That movie terrified me when I was a kid, don’t think I’ve seen it since.
