Mixed. He says a lot of the right things but his actions speak volumes. He’s very Obama.

Canadian, not a Trudeau/Liberal Party fan but this amused me. Trudeau looks like he could have pulled Trump down the stairs.

I thought the point of that scene was that Theon is going to try to ‘save’ Sansa even though she has a plan of her own to remove Ramsey. Sansa already knew that Ramsey was a brutal, foul human being, and that almost not one around him actually likes or respects him. He rules through fear only. Over the next 4 episodes…

Also, the 'move on with your lives' statement was directed towards racists, not victims of racism. My impression was that some thought I was suggesting people should just 'get over' being bullied/discriminated against, that's not the case. Peace.

I'm not saying they should be ignored. I have to be honest I did not expect this reaction. My only point was that we need to recognize our common humanity over our differences. I apologize if I offended anyone.

There is only one race, humanity. The sooner people realise that fact the better. Everything else is just genetic make-up. Move on with your lives.

Aaaannd now I might actually buy a Wii U. I have to say looking at this though if only Wii had been as powerful as PS3 and Xbox360 in the first place we could have had a beautiful open world Zelda game almost 10 years ago.

I understand your frustration, funding is a lot lower than it should be.

I have owned every Nintendo home console since NES. I will more likely than not pass on WiiU. The controller holds little interest for me, the lineup thus far is weak, and the console hardware itself is not something I'd pay full price for.

My step-father committed suicide. My mother found him.

Honestly I didn't understand Stanton's insistance to set it on Mars, we all know Mars isn't at all like this so why not just set it on some random alien world called Barsoom in a solar system somewhere else in the galaxy? It's like setting one of these stories on the Moon or Venus, we know enough about these planets…

It's from Rainmaker's website roughly a year ago.

There are risks with many scientific inquiries, considering this one could save the lives of the innocent, and perhaps even potential perpetrators then it's worth pursuing. What if they could give empathy, a conscious to those who were born without it? what if it was simply offered as a choice?

I wonder, with a Manhattan Project-like focus on a series of technologies like a space elevator, Skylon surface to space craft, etc. What would the result of access to space that is that cheap? A renaissance, and end to scarcity.

Ahhh, now I just wish I met more people who had these opinions in ever day life. The pessimism that is so common in my generation (born late 70's - early 90's) astounds me. During private conversations I find that it seems they don't know about any of these breakthroughs, quite possibly because they've never been…

Sounds a bit like the David Brin short story Lungfish.

Isn't that already happening?

Has io9 made a list of sci-fi books that currently seem unfilmable? If not, I'd like to nominate Red Mars (or just the Mars Trilogy entirely) for the future article.

Project Orion's estimate to Alpha Centauri was given a range of 130 to 1330 years according to Wikipedia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Orion_(nuclear_propulsion)
