Don't want to say any more than this (to avoid spoilers), but if they made a spinoff out of this episode I would watch the hell out of it.

Definitely a bit ahead of its time in terms of using realism in its depiction of "gritty space war" (a la BSG) but it was also a contemporary of DS9 and Babylon 5. "Why It Failed Then" is due less to it being ahead of its time and more to being killed by Fox IMO.

3rd or 4th time? Wow... I was pretty conflicted about putting it down since a) I've enjoyed his other books and b) I rarely stop in the middle of a book/movie even if it's bad but I just couldn't do it.

Or, because everyone is too busy being in the Oasis to care about what's going on in the real world. When literally everyone can have access because of zero-cost bandwidth it's easy to just live in the virtual world all the time.

I loved Ready Player One but I couldn't get into Reamde (I stopped ~1/3 of the way through), I think this is part of the reason why.

Also, Memoirs of an Invisible Man with Chevy Chase.

Something tells me they'll show up again right in the middle of February sweeps... not that I'm complaining, I expect it will be pretty awesome. Perhaps there will be a few more cases that both Fringe teams will have to work together on so they'll be ready when DRJ comes back.

"Or just ignore it altogether other than to provide a link to Mr Plinkett."

Came for S:AAB, leaving satisfied.

That's where it would have ended had Kubrick still been alive, it's what he intended Spielberg cannot make a movie with a sad ending. I don't think Minority Report's ending was "unnecessarily" happy, the good guys win but there is definitely collateral damage that would have effects that carry through the end of the…

I caught the screening of Level Up at NYCC, it was fun and goofy but I don't think I'd be able to watch the series (it's definitely a kids show, not really my bag).

That is disturbing on a number of levels. The fact that we're talking about driving a piece of metal into someone's head aside, are you trying to do so many of these that you have to do it two at a time?!?

I'm assuming there was a picture? (either I can't see it or it was eaten by the Gawkerkraken) Either way it's nice to know it's a constant. We don't usually see her in front of a computer anyway so it could just be that she wears them infrequently.

Good eye... I feel better now. Too many changes in the uni-verse, I doubt everything will be exactly the same when Peter comes back but it will be interesting to see what changes and what doesn't.

That was my impression also... if the milkshakes were chocolate that would be one too. I was pretty sure they were strawberry, but I don't doubt CJ's eye for detail.

He was the best character in that movie... "They melvined me!"

I was thinking the same thing. Is this the first time we've ever seen her wear glasses? I was trying to figure out if it was significant or not.

I liked it overall, but the "sentimentality" and "daddy issues" were the weakest part of this movie by far. Those scenes (and the father/son relationship at the beginning) were so predictable that they took me out of the movie a bit (and I really try not to overanalyze while I'm watching something). The fight…

The fight choreography is indeed excellent, I was as interested in the robot boxing matches as I've been in any human ones. And you do get to see that trainer/boxer relationship in a very interesting way, since "training" the boxer is more that just making hardware/software upgrades.

Depends on the age IMO, there are a few s-words and one scene that's fairly violent (human on human).
