    Badass Bacteria

    I've been following this, and it's really cool. Obviously, the big meaning behind this is that life can exist in phosphorous-poor conditions; ie, P isn't a prerequisite for life as we know it. There's a more subtle meaning behind it as well. It suggests that elements traditionally considered...

    FRINGE #8:Entrada/Season III/2010

    My favorite part was after Peter told Broyles, "You don't want to see this." Broyles gives Peter a look that's half, "Get the hell out of my way," and half, "you've got to be kidding me," that's just note-perfect. Nicely done by Reddick.

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #10:Resurgence (1)/(FINAL)Season 2/2010

    Chloe Ex Machina is annoying, but less annoying than Chloe being pointless. At least she has some purpose and storyline. I don't think she killed the marine though. I totally agree on Eli's stuff as well. I don't really give SGU enough credit to go all Enertron with them, but I'm still hungry.

    Being Human...USA?

    Given that it's Syfy, I'm not terribly hopeful either. I love Being Human, and I don't see it really needing an "Americanization" to make it broadly accessible. I'll give it a chance, but that's about it.

    Thoughts on Nikita & Terriers

    What I think worked best about it was that it was so uncharacteristically hopeful at the end. I suppose that was the point of Hank and Gretchen's conversation at the end though. I will be buying the hell out of the DVD when it comes out.

    The Walking Dead

    Yeah, I'm fully aware of that. That's part of the reason why I've tried to lessen my talking about comic spoilers; I'm trying to divorce the two in my head. Still, with the name and set-up, I was expecting them to follow the comic a little bit more. I'm still going to watch it; despite my...

    D&D 4E Running player commentary on PCat's 4E Campaign - Heroic tier (finished)

    That's pretty much my philosophy right there. If someone isn't having fun playing a character, that's a problem that should be fixed. In fact, someone not having fun* is, to me, the cardinal sin of role-playing. That definitely includes the DM as well. I've found most anything can be...

    The Walking Dead

    At this point in the thread, it should come as no shock that I'm a big fan of the comic. I'm willing to look past most of the little things as long as the overall story is intact. Even the Atlanta stuff I wasn't pleased with, but willing to let slide. However, this episode was too much. As...

    How many EN Worlders are within 100 miles of you?

    41 within 100 miles of me, which is a little surprising. However, Rochester is within 100 miles of Syracuse, so that's skewing the numbers a bit. Also, at least one person in Canada (Kingston), which is neat. If I limit it to 25 miles (as mentioned in the beginning, a little more realistic)...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #9:Visitation/Season 2/2010

    There's a couple of ways of looking at it. One, that the aliens can make physical things (bodies, shuttles, planets), but they can't make a soul. Without the soul, the body can not survive. It wasn't that they made the bodies imperfect; it was that they were missing an essential part...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #9:Visitation/Season 2/2010

    Once again, I find myself liking Wray and Greer. I really wish these were the characters we started out with, because they're a lot less of a stereotype. I could buy Greer's character as a Lawful Jerk. Still, he's looking out for his friends. Plus, by far my favorite beat - him and Park...

    WB to reboot Buffy the Vampire Slayer without Joss Whedon

    I may be risking my geek cred here, but I was never a huge Buffy/Angel fan. I didn't think the shows were bad; I enjoyed Angel often enough to keep watching. Buffy, not as much, but I still wouldn't call it bad. So I don't really accept the idea that a potential reboot has to have Whedon, or...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #8:Malice/Season 2/2010

    Technically no; all that James (I think it was her) reported when she came back was that Dr. Perry was dead.

    The Walking Dead

    I feel weird posting after myself. It seems so profane. Blah. Spoilers for the newest episode (#4) behind a spoiler block. All in all I've been apathetic to the new characters. However, I think Daryl is pretty awesome, and I'm really hoping he survives. That business with the hand...

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #8:Malice/Season 2/2010

    Fair enough. Also, to the fourth point, Simeon had a Remote so he definitely would have known.

    STARGATE UNIVERSE #8:Malice/Season 2/2010

    On the other hand, I liked Team Science's reaction to Chloe. In fact, I could go for an entire show that is Team Science. I liked that Rush used reason to justify vengeance. That said, I hated the stampede - Rush got all the way around to the other side of the herd, planted the C4, and got...
