It really doesn’t matter much what her powers are in the show, because she never uses them. They only exist to provide pathos to her backstory.

It becomes pretty annoying after awhile. Like when she’s sneaking around a house trying to figure out what is up with the guy and he comes back. She could use her powers to…

It seems like he might have been meddled with quite a bit by the timecops too. It was awfully convenient to stumble across the only copy of the one book in the entire world he needed to enact his heretofore unknown plan like 5 minutes after walking out of prison.

It drove me crazy that Five never called out the…

To be fair, it’s pretty easy to remember 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. 

For me, the very instant they revealed her pills (episode 2 or 3?) it was blatantly obvious that she was the apocalypse, and her obviously evil boyfriend was going to manipulate her into it. I kept waiting for a twist, but it never came.

The problem with that theory is that Jessica is the ONLY person who ever develops the immunity, despite him using it for many years on thousands of different people. 

Yep, our electoral system says that your vote counts for more the fewer neighbors you have. It’s never been completely clear to me why this is a good idea. Simply living out in the country doesn’t make you a better informed voter.

The quoted section says it’s probably the same case.

> This behavior is consistent with the alleged acts for which Kelly was indicted in 2002 (he was acquitted six years later).

Kind of a Dr. Who thing where you switch out the actors, including the main character’s actor fairly regularly so they don’t start demanding a bigger salary.

Niven’s episode was Known Space story with some Star Trek paint hastily slapped on. A search and replace for Louis Wu -> Spock doesn’t make something a Star Trek episode.

I’ve been impressed at the breath of topics they cover. Payday loans, corrupt  governments, televangelists, authoritarianism, net neutrality, and so on. I keep thinking they’ll run out of terrible institutions to cover and they keep surprising me.

I didn’t think George W Bush was going to get a second term either, but he won more of the popular vote the second time around.  People just love being in not one but two quagmires in the middle east apparently. 

I’m reading The Consuming Fire by John Scalzi. It’s book two of a trilogy after The Collapsing Empire, but I loved the first book so there’s no question on the second.

It helps that Scalzi has quickly become one of my favorite authors. I have yet to read something of his that I don’t like. For people who don’t want to…

You can also do this in a crock pot if you cut up the chicken to fit. 

Isn’t she some crazy alien? Maybe her whole form is an exoskeleton? Maybe she’s held up with inflated gas bladders? Maybe she’s made up of interlocking nanomachines that take whatever shape she desires?  The rules of human anatomy need not apply.

Will the show be bold enough to show Gwyneth shoving an egg up her vagina?

I’ve been pretty excited about this movie. I read the manga many years ago when the original Anime movie came out and thought that some of the later material really smartened up the series, even if it did drift away from action setpieces. I was always disappointed that the original Anime never went past the first…

Because nobody else has linked it yet, even though it was referenced in the title:

But not a straight Weezer cover, I’d like to see someone just own it the way the Bangles own Hazy Shade of Winter.

I honestly have trouble remembering which is which when one of them pops up in a film.  This happens more often than you’d expect.  Mars Attacks came up on Amazon Prime Video and I was like “Hey, it’s the guy!  No wait, it’s the other guy!  Not the baseball sex metaphor guy, the Satan killer.”
