I pointed this out in the Pathfinder thread, but no one seems to have taken much notice. Love most of BFP's work. Haven't heard it all--some things were discontinued before I discovered them, and they've greatly expanded in the last 5 years or so. I think it's funny how much cross-pollination...

You're trying to argue your point on an internet bulletin board. As has been stated, you are already wasting your time, by definition. I cannot expand on what I said, because on this board it would be considered bashing religion, which earns demerits and possible banning. I'm a lapsed agnostic...

The argument provided is the same as saying "Why don't scientists accept (my religion) as fact. Millions of people have believed in it for hundreds or thousands or hundreds of thousands of years. You don't need any more than that. The fact that they believed was enough." Without facts or sources...

I think the thing to remember is people have very short attention spans. I'm sure the polling base for the show was thinking only in terms of what they remember. There was one voting list where Lost came out as "number 1 tv show of all time." Purely trendy thinking.

To me, Cult is something not accepted by the main stream culture, but that still has a strong niche following. Original Star Trek: Cult. TNG Star Trek: Not Doctor Who: cult for the first few years, but by the 70s it was pretty much an accepted establishment (The Doctor was working for the...

Depends how you define "Cult." Sorry, but Star Trek: the Next Generation is NOT cult: it's about as white and sterile as bleach. Total Milquetoast, almost to the level of Smallville. Some shows I'd never heard of. A lot that sucked. Few goodies in there though. (why so much reference to Veronica...

Why not? They've experimented with night vision. (of course, it's dangerous as hell since, like Russain Nightvision goggles, there's not cut-out for bright light to keep you from getting blinded)

Do they explain why a 200lb human walking in front of a jet engine gets sucked in, but grains of dry sand which should be flying in and tearing up the guts of the engine don't budge?

Thanks to the DVDs being available on Netflix, I can tell you that season 1 of Hannibal is much, much better than The Following. After finishing episode 4, I'm still interested. They almost went into stupid territory at the end of episode 3 (idiot brother breaking into home of daughter...

Only if their first and last names (and possibly middle as well) are alliterative. And maybe if they are like "Paragon" or "Democlese" or "Deth" or "Hiro".

Only if you are driving to work in Brazil--a place where the professional race car drivers say "no thanks" when offered the wheel during commute hours.

And why would you, when you could just ride an eagle, and be there in hours instead of months?

I wouldn't apply it to a certain restaurant I used to work in, either. Ok, not to restaurants in general, but definitely not that one!

{insert political rant which would get red flagged and purged, so I'm going to save myself some typing and everyone else the pain of having to read a less-than-coherent post}

but still with models and puppets, not craptastic CGI like Transformers.

No problem. :)

better to be evil than an ass (like me--don't ask)

Jodorowsky’s Dune: The greatest movie never made? Jodorowsky’s Dune – a science-fiction project seen as the forerunner to Alien – still has influence today. Tom Brook reports. “For me, Dune will be the coming of a God.” So says Chilean director Alejandro Jodorowsky, who must have had an...

I did answer your question. Exactly. Or as exactly as possible, given the undefined "psychic powers", which was really open and non-specific. I imagine the discussions would be similar to "Which comic book super hero would you like to be?" with a bunch of kids and geeks dreaming of glory and...

Then there would be about 600 to 800 people alive right now who could provide useful data. Or, like life itself, the powers would be a statistical anomaly. If they want to be taken seriously, they have to be willing to submit to study. Once proven, people would be jealous, wishing they had the...
