And once you have obtained that information, what do you do with it? The whole point of not being able to ask for that stuff is to make a hiring decision based on their actual qualifications. It might be pragmatic to not want someone who you assume might be at higher risk for taking time off or whatever but there's a…

Case in point: I saw one of these just this morning, license plate "SWAGGG". Unfortunately a true story.

I think that's most likely because it only lasted one season and a lot of people might not even remember it (which is a shame).

Definitely! Also, it's R Lee Ermey-cameo approved.

Um... didn't Nine kill all of the Slitheen by blowing up 10 Downing Street? I think he gave Solomon / Filch / Walder Frey his chance to seek forgiveness but not having a second chance was a theme throughout during the era of both Nine and Ten.

Also, I don't think they knew exactly what it was going to do, it seems like Parrish just wanted to get them out there to enhance or perhaps activate new alphas (kind of like Magneto's machine from the X-Men movie). I don't think Parrish wanted them to fix it because he specifically told his lackeys to recover it if…

Absolutely, what they did with Anna was the worst decision of S1. Which brings up a good point, what the hell happened to Red Flag anyway (or are we supposed to assume they were wiped out in the raid)? Whatever Parrish's group is I don't think it's the same thing, he's much more subversion and less terrorism.

I think if there were a list of most underrated episodes this would definitely be there, this episode never seems to get much credit but I thought it was flawlessly executed.

Overall I liked this episode, but I have to say I'm over the Holly arc and I wish they would resolve it already. It seems like they are going to drag it out until the end of the season (which, I guess, isn't so far away) but I'd like to see them take on some other stuff first. Like, is anyone going to go after the…

I can't say I've been disappointed in this season overall but I was definitely hoping to see a LOT more of both teams working together, and more of Over There in general (although the last couple eps prior to this one were pretty good in that respect).

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…
