I'm sure some will complain, but I could watch the pilot a hundred times and never tire of it. Not to mention having the ability to go over it again looking for all of the Easter eggs I didn't catch the first time. Plus, a game to keep you occupied at other times!

I don't think it was set up for failure. They pushed the debut back so they could give it a ton of promotion during the World Series. They debuted it on a Sunday night so they could take advantage of an NFL lead-in. The series premiere brought in more than 9 million viewers and a 3.1 rating, which is higher than…

Without a longer video I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that with two outs and the bases loaded that the pitcher was working from the windup and has a Nomo-esque delivery, giving the runner plenty of time to get home.

And this is exactly why Netflix continued to force traffic through a Cogent connection they knew was terrible instead of using any one of a dozen different providers. They knew that people would side with them against Comcast and hoped they could use that to leverage Comcast into carrying their traffic for free.

Breaking Bad may have ended up as one of the all-time great television dramas, but in its first couple of seasons it was capable of some hilariously dark comedy.

I don't think Tyson is mocking religion nearly as much as some people (on both sides) seem to think is. Last night, for example, he was really fair to Usher, pointing out that he was answering a question using the only means available to him: the Bible.

TheRobb kind of beat me to it, but there were still external pressures that would have created an advantage for any organism that could replicate its DNA. I'm assuming the first biological organism to replicate wasn't the first biological organism, it was just the first to evolve the ability because of external…

It seems like the lack of competition is pretty big hole in his hypothesis. If the universes aren't competing or even interacting with each other, then where is the cosmological imperative to produce offspring? It seems like a spectacular waste of resources to expend all that energy and matter creating universes…

The creator of the chart said he/she was trying to mimic this chart, which works because it's a histogram, and so you're counting up all of the red lines, as opposed to a line graph which is meant to represent change over time.

To add to McUncool's post, Deadspin's first post on the subject carried the headline

I'm Tyler and I'm a librarian in flyover country. I watch way too much television and get an inordinate amount of pleasure arguing about it on the internet (in a courteous and non-confrontational way of course). Thankfully, I've managed to contain most of my ramblings to my blog.

For the first month or so after a movie or episode comes out, anything beyond "Holy crap that was amazing," should stay out of any and all of the following: Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, break rooms, dinner tables, comment threads, and smoke signals.

Even in the Pacific Northwest, drought is a problem. In fact, right now in Oregon more than 92 percent of the state is suffering from a moderate drought and almost half the state is suffering from a severe drought, and that's likely to get worse as the summer goes along because the forecasts are for a dry summer.

It's not like they have terrible problems, certainly better than other areas, but just because there are other water sources to tap (like Waukesha's attempt to get water from Lake Michigan) doesn't mean water is limitless, it just means that those cities are unable to live off the water they've always used. The…

You sure about that?

I honestly cannot, for the life of me, figure out why there are still communities and states in this country that don't have water rationing policies in place. My city fought this battle for a year when they discovered that if our drought had continued our main water source would have been depleted within two years. …

It's not sci-fi and I wish I had a video for it, but Michael Scott burning his foot on a Foreman grill is the best cold open in the history of television.

I could also argue for "One Year Later"

"We have to go back, Kate! We have to go back!"

Garreau expanded his idea to a book that breaks it out like this:
