I absolutely agree: I was equally surprised to read that the lack of hard biological lineage meant the family, which is strictly social term, didn't matter, all this from an anthropologist?

I'm rather disturbed, seeing that the abrahamic religions may have done great job teaching the world touchiness, right to the point where angry mobs make hateful remarks about making money from a swimsuit with the image of goddess of fertility and wealth...

I'm with you on all comments about dumbing-down a distinctive childhood hero such as April. And I - being a man, or boy back then - could say in retrospect that she was sexy enough as she was. But the "fat cow" element of the article really ruined it for me. Beat me with sticks and stones, but I'm really looking…

I surely hope not.

Hooray for robots!

@The_Sporean_Bob: Neverwhere: the script came before Neverwhere the book. Personally, I wouldn't recommend the series to any fan of the book, but if you see the series first or you can digest low budget britishness, it's still good, although somewhat lacking.

This new 42 thing is kinda bothering me. What about the Ancients, did they forgot about their steam-powered ship and its mission when they ascended? Or the answer is the same thing that leads to right where and what they are right now? It bothered me the first time the idea of another(?) godlike alien race appeared,…

@gaming09: Wow. That's deep.

@stalking_goat: More likely, because SGU is not in the same universe as SG1 and Atlantis. It happens in the alternative Dramaverse, where even the pulpish heroes have lost their superknacks and would be as useless as anybody on the flying junkyard.

What's complicated about Inception? It's a caper movie with 90'-tish "virtuality" sci-fi flavour and up-to-day CGI. It is a great movie, but its complexity exists only in the discussions beween hyped fans and anti-fans.

There was no "stumbling upon" the ship bridge, nor a problem one of the lesser scientist couldn't resolve - The red box clearly was an effect of the programs trying to crack the master code. Apparently, they succeded, so Rush has the master code figured out - he goes to the bridge, opens the door, walks in, messes…

@Garrison Dean: R.O.A.C.H.: While we all get where you are going, "adjusted for inflation" of ticket price, The Phantom Menace made less money than any of the old movies - so, your logic is not sound :)

While most of these quotations sound cool, some of them are poetic, or aiming at beauty of expression rather than scientific clarity on the subject.

You know what bothers me most? (Almost) every time Warehouse 13 is described as having "some very good moments this time" and "two or three lines of clever dialogue" or "they made a very good joke in this episode!" Is it normal to say this for really good shows where all these things should be common, or just for the…

If Murphy can't understand why DC would want the original author to work on eventual Watchmen sequels and why an author should feel so emotionally connected with his work, well - that explains the Transformers franchise and The League... ;)

The awesome aside, I think it will be pretty spooky for me to live in a city where you can see four straight streets all way up to the horizon from every junction, identical buildings repeating at same interval on each side.

Guessing here that mr. Daw will read some WH40K lore after all the rant ;)

I may sound a bit harsh: Seeing how much attention Warehouse 13 is getting, now I know why the fans don't get good sci-fi television: because they don't want it. I would say this show has no style, but that would be a mistake - it has plenty of styles, just doesn't know which one it is really trying too hard to get…

Curious and rad, but no.

lol. Actually, doesn't look like Bulgaria at all - not because of the buildings in disrepair, we have plenty of those - but because of all those pointy rooftops. You should shoot for some place with more catholics, like Slovakia itself :)
