It is probably giving them too much credit. The novel category is probably off limits for their strategy since a few novels and authors will gather a consensus early on. Their voting block is relatively small and can't pierce that wall. In the more obscure categories like short story where votes...

On their slate were works like Seveneves by Neal Stephenson, Neil Gaiman's latest Sandman comics, and films like the Martians. It seems like they are pushing mainstream stuff or stuff that would have gotten nominated anyway and claim it was because of them. John Scalzi wrote a good article on...

I finished Altered Carbon by Richard K. Morgan. It started out alright, but became uninteresting pretty quickly. I can't believe it won the Philip K. Dick Award in 2003. Makes me wonder about that prize*. Maybe the Netflix adaptation will be better by shortening it. I'm starting the classic...

Triceracow!

It is an expension of the old board game. http://avalonhill.wizards.com/games/betrayal-at-house-on-the-hill/widows-walk

I wonder if FB's password feature will help it endure. Having almost all your passwords centralized and not having to remember them is way useful.

Frankly, for future generations, and I mean centuries from now, Facebook could have unprecedented archeological value. Pics of clothes, hairstyles, food, what people actually talked about and the words they use, the news, etc, could be accessable to historians. Just for that, I sort of do not...

F. Wesley Schneider is in there and he works at Paizo. Anita Sarkeesian is a blogger critical of how women are depicted in videogames. Weird mix of people.

Nah. Paper and that notary seal are still king. I guess it is fear that electronics can be easily modified. Wills are serious business. The notary didn't even want to write in my will that I was leaving everything to my cat and have a battle royal death match between selected individuals to...

My will is already in order and the appropriate people have the right information. But I'm a responsable person with education and some money at my disposal. The people who do not have/can't afford a will are the ones who will not have an electronic will.

I do wonder if my kids will read my old emails once I'm dead. They might be put off by dead baby jokes, friends talking about their infidelities and my involvement in 9/11 starting a garden.

Thus why I named them.

The force isn't science? What about midi-chlorians!?

It really is, but the majority of people who go see the films aren't "fans". You still need to reach a wide audience. At least at some point. And a Christmas special!

People should be making electronic wills. A list of all accounts and passwords a person possess so that their relatives will be able to access them and close them if need be.

Oen can answer with a question. The thing is, maybe someone can't put words on feelings, but I know Star Wars isn't Star Trek even if both are sci-fi.

I never said GotG was new. I said it should be like GotG. So new characters unrelated to Rebels fighting the Empire doing their own thing. And actually fun, compared to the last 5 Star Wars movies.

That isn't the story I'm talking about. With Rogue One I'm talking about Rebels going after the Death Star. We know that story. It is the iconic #4... and 6, and 7 and arguably #1. Now 3.5 is about it again? We know. The Rebels really want to blow the Death Star. And do it. Many times. Can we...

Maybe I will. I'm not a fanboy and I didn't travel to the future, so I'll have to wait after I see the film to say if I liked it or not. What I do know for sure is that The Force Awakens showed the limits of tapping into the Empire, Jedis, the force, the Death Star, Luke, etc, and that Rogue...

So your argument is that Star Wars and Star Trek are the same?
