The idea that people have parties to watch TV shows simply reinforces my hypothesis that human beings are aliens. TV, writing, and masturbation should all be done in private, and one should wash one's hands afterwards.

Wait- Tom Baker is in that? Well, I know something I'm doing this weekend.

Meh. Naked people are boring.

I have no idea if I'm going to watch "Game of Thrones" or not. On one hand, a sweeping fantasy epic with Sean Bean sounds fun. On the other hand, a plodding character driven-drama with more characters than plot-points sounds tedious. Similar period (I know it isn't a period show, but c'mon) shows like "Deadwood" and…

"We've secretly replaced the Master with Daffy Duck. Let's see if anyone can tell the difference..."

I'm okay with the uses being varied. I can see good reasons to have a lot of functions encapsulated into a single prop- from a budget and a marketing standpoint, and heck, even a writing standpoint- "sonicing" something becomes part of the storytelling vernacular.

"RSS is dead on the desktop, where instead you'll probably use a desktop-targeted web-application for RSS."

2) At some point, you have to evaluate the risks and pull out. Cost/benefit. Now, the cost/benefit is a bit skewed- TJ is the only one with any medical training. So a certain degree of sacrifice is expected.

He even sort of looks like Troll Face.

It was my impression that neither Brody nor Eli was actually responsible for triggering the stasis pod- Rush was.

So, I assume they'll edit out Ben Stiller and replace him with Ryan Reynolds in post-production?

The original Cybermen were from the planet Mondas in our universe. The NuWho Cybermen were from a parallel universe.

Actually, no, I don't particularly like writing.

Thank you. I think you've resolved my personal writing hurdle with a very simple sentence.

Now that I think upon it, I realize, it's not that the characters don't want something- it's that I don't particularly care what they want. And I can't make myself care, any more than I can honestly be interested in some inane story a co-worker wants to relate to me about their weekend adventures.

Why is what a threat? The destruction of the Earth? It's not a threat. It's a nuisance. The military response is just what you do when people destroy your homeworld. Imagine if you didn't- people would just destroy planets without consequence.

Problem: I tend to view all people as passive non-entities who drift through the world while things happen to them. This is the biggest reason why I've never been successful in writing. To me, that's how the world works. People, as a rule, are incredibly boring. Occasionally, they're part of something interesting-…

In the film [Zeus is] a law-giver, he's in a very straight-laced authoritive role in heaven.

It is not plausible that there is competition over resources. It doesn't matter what resource we're talking about, you can almost certainly get it muuuuch closer to home than you can get it by subjugating alien species. You could park an asteroid made entirely of platinum in low-earth orbit, and it'd still be too…

The only thing that really lends credence to the rumor is that the Daleks have been wedged into odd places, like "The Waters of Mars", which just so happened to fit the once-a-series requirement.
