Does that just mean nobody has sex? I guess it's one way of preventing jealous virginal killers. Seems a tad extreme. Ok and to prove my complete hypocrisy after my last post, while I'm here and all, why isn't there a decent name for female genitalia. I was mulling this over the other day...

Identity politics sucks and sociology is bullshit. You can't label and categorize human beings and put them into graphs and tables and equations, we're too complex, too variable. All this crap is just a meaningless attempt to make sense of shitty things that happen as a result of a combination...

*Does anyone else have trouble remembering the different titles for all of the books? Changes onwards are all firm in my memory, as is Storm Front as the first one, all of the ones in between (with the exception of Summer Knight and Dead Beat for some reason) are jumbled up in my memory. Or...

The former.

I'm not saying meth is healthy, just that there's a reason people take it. In BB none of the meth users ever actually seemed to enjoy using meth, they'd fiend for it then go straight to coming down and being psychotic and paranoid. They almost never actually seem to get high, you know, the whole...

I doubt any did. The show exaggerated the unpleasant and negative effects of meth ridiculously. If meth actually effected people the way it did on Breaking Bad, it wouldn't be a problem because nobody would want to use it.

Kinda like the moon landing theme in the most recent Mad Men episode, but way more depressing. Right now, the entire world is focused on how pathetic this one person was.

Damage already done at that stage, they obviously just never taught him to deal with the world. If he was in therapy since 8, what the fuck was going on in those therapy sessions that the therapist didn't raise an alarm themselves?

Yeah I think I'm in for an all-nighter as well. Good thing I have nothing important on tomorrow.

It was less of a laugh moment and more of a groan moment for me, because it brought back some flashbacks from the same age. If only I knew then what I know now...

You think that's bad, it's $18.50 AUD. $10 is my absolute limit for ebooks that don't come with a complementary blowjob, but as Vlett said some dedicated soul has already leaked it, so problem solved I guess. 10% in and really enjoying it so far.

Please stop depressing us with all these fat people trying to validate their unhealthy lifestyle choices

Having just watched DS9 in completion, am I the only one who hated the episodes with the whole 'alternate timeline' thing going on? It just felt forced, and other than an opportunity to see the characters as darker and edgier versions of themselves (ok, they get points for lesbian Ezri), those...

What an idiot. I think that's his problem, more than his parental issues, or psychiatric issues, he's just plain stupid and completely incapable of introspection if he's 22, passably looking, well off financially and unable to get laid.

I'm simultaneously overdosing on nostalgia and confused because I thought this place was full of people a decade older than me who grew up in the 80's.

I guess it depends on what you're after - I liked it for the character development and story arcs, compared to the ''crazy space problem of the week'' style TNG, where nothing ever really seems to change (so far, I'm still watching it).

No DS9? It's the only Trek series I've watched in full (working on TNG now), and I really enjoyed it.

Least they ended it on a better note than that atrocious, godawful, painfully terrible, 4th season.

Drogo, without a question. Worf has nothing even close to as badass as: Although to be fair, you gotta take the setting and show into account. Worf in an HBO show up against human(oid)s exclusively might be a whole other thing to Worf in an 80's/90's network show in space up against...

Last season according to wikipedia (no idea why I ended up on the wiki page).

I think it's a bit early to say either way, but Coven lost me by the midway point, and I'm at least interested to see where this goes after the first episode. I like that they're actually going pretty full out with the witchcraft, Coven felt like a fucking Charmed episode at some points.

Holy shit, Trent Reznor is Commander Shepard. (with red eyes?)

Really wish they'd cut Charlie some slack, surely they can think of a funny storyline for him and Marcy which doesn't involve him getting shat on all day. Not sure about the son thing, could go either way.

I did my re-read on a tablet last year, would have been impossible to keep up with the bajillion subplots and characters without being able to tab over from the reader to the wiki and back.

I'd recommend that you at least slug it out for one more book, the ending of book 6 (Lord of Chaos) is one of the most epic moments in the series. Skim through a lot of the bullshit chapter if you have to, but imo Rand's storyline across book 6 and the way it culminates at the end is worth the...

Was better than last week's attempt to redo the first DND episode.

Never even heard of them - I haven't done a lot of sci fi reading. Will look into it, thanks.

I figured I'd post here rather than create a whole new thread - does anyone have any sci fi (or space opera would I guess be a more accurate term for what I'm after) suggestions? Are there any writers who do that kind of thing without it being based on a movie/game franchises? A friend talked me...

The mind battle at the end was actually a pretty good scene, and although I'm not ready to get on board the ''Ghost Story was actually not that bad'' train, I did love the flashbacks (especially the one of Harry's training with Justin, he's such a pivotal character in the backstory and yet we...

Yep Anthropic principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is the part where someone posts the agnostic/gnostic atheist/theist chart - which I think has it's own problems. Even if you can't distinguish between them clearly in terms of the exact philosophical stance, there's a huge gap in attitude and behavior, generally speaking, especially with...

Oh really? I always thought it was multiplicative. I guess it's just mildly irritating then.

Really wish they'd do something about the helm/socket scenario - I think I'm on my 4th 'awesome upgrade I can't use unless I wanna give up massive xp bonus'

Let's be honest, it's going to go on until they run out of material that can be tentatively based on the books or until it loses enough viewers that it stops being profitable

It would have lowered my opinion of the show and Tyson considerably if they had - it's boring and played out and doesn't achieve anything meaningful.

Yeah it's hard to defend the Church of that era, they were tied into a whole lot of massively fucked up shit,, but that was pretty much a result of the power inherent in the role they played in the social structure of the era - I was impressed that they didn't use that to start making wild...

What's the verdict on this - worth watching?

Having never seen the original, I watched it after reading this thread and really enjoyed it. Tyson has that rare combination of intellect and affable charisma which makes listening to someone expound on life, the universe and everything so much fun, and I was impressed that they managed to deal...
