    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    Pretty much. Better mileage and reduced usage of gas = gas tax doesn't do as much. Honestly the lower wage citizen gets fucked in either scenario: You either make fill-ups more expensive or you punish people for commuting. The US has shitty public transit outside of cities (which are dubious...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Like was said, a lie detector is only as good as the questions being given. "Have you been recruited by HYDRA or a HYDRA agent? Are you working towards an agenda laid out by HYDRA or a HYDRA agent?" *blam*

    Not very high, since most 13 yr olds don't have credit cards.

    What is Eva's thing then? Possessed by a demon? Spider lady?

    Penny Dreadful

    Well his daughter's name is Mina and she is a vampire now, which is from Bram Stoker's Dracula. The vampire he is seeking is probably Dracula.

    Finally caught this. Looks like a solid 10pm show to watch after GoT finishes ;P

    Crisis on NBC

    9pm Sunday is a death slot for most networks because of all the huge shows that play at 9pm typically on cable (HBO + AMC being the obvious kings of that category).

    Revolution

    Usually a show needs to hit a certain amount of seasons + have a devoted enough fanbase to get a "pity" season for a finale (ie, Chuck).

    Crisis on NBC

    It was too close in theme to the show 'Hostages', which also did shitty. "Guilt" by association can always doom shows/movies.

    Qualifiers were like a month before TI3 last year, weren't they?

    DOTA 2

    Well, there is always an initial rush due to compendium purchases from everyone. It will slow down a lot over the next couple days, although the "point buy" thing will ensure the prize pot keeps growing at a steadier pace than the original compendium (since points can grab you rewards and a...

    DOTA 2

    Even though the Black Death set is more or less a Pudge arcana already, he will probably win in voting ;/ I'm sad there is no "vote for the next hero" tier. Valve, why do you hate Techies so much???

    Prize pot has shot up pretty fast, though. What was the base pot? 1.5mil?

    ARDM mode? Awwwww yeah. For Arcana, I wouldn't mind a Mirana one ;p

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    They will hint at Skye, but I'm guessing it will be more of a teaser for next season. I'm guessing S2 will revolve around Raina trying to recruit Skye or at the very least trying to uncover her origins. The whole "hidden inside" thing will end up relating to the Inhumans and the fact...

    Officially cancelled now

    DOTA 2

    Only downside to using that strat in pro games is all the heroes are clustered after the snowball ends, which would be very bad if the other team picked heroes that absolutely destroyed grouped heroes.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I'd blame the crummy 1st half of the season more than anything. People don't give shows a chance anymore...if ST:TNG launched today, that shit would have been cancelled by the end of the 1st season. The show has gotten much stronger on the last half, but the trick is trying to get those folks back.

    Why was the Civil War fought?

    The Civil War was fought because the South is derp. Derp is responsible for a great many things...everything from slavery to evangelical churches.

    Noah (2014)

    Ya, the Noah story in the bible is pretty much one of those universal story themes. Virtually every culture/religion on the planet (past or present) had an epic flood story. It was like the ancient version of the network TV police procedural: Every channel has one and although they make minor...

    To Boston Airport in the early AM

    I'm assuming you live in Mass? Honestly the best solution for Logan is to bribe someone to drive you since having to park there rapes your wallet and Mass public transit sucks.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Eh, comic book shows I usually give a bit more leeway to, since they involve all sorts of physics/biology related tomfoolery. However, it was clear that Ward intended to kill them. It wouldn't half surprise me if the cargo container had some sort of cushioning system that Fitz reveals he...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    That youtube guy Astro always posts seems to always get confused about shows or totally misreads/misunderstands scenes. It makes me think it might actually be Astro himself lol ;p Anyways, good episode. It did a good job of demonstrating why Ward is so loyal to Garret: He was basically a...

    He would have been stupid on screen and people would have just made fun of it.

    Honestly I think it's poetic justice for all the nostradouching that has been happening, to speak nothing of straight up spoilers.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Deal with it or stop watching. TV is a visual medium, thus "long game" elements have to be more concretely established or people start shitting about "deus ex machina" or bad writing if they are dropped out of nowhere. You don't have the benefit of tiny footnotes buried in text to fall back...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That part was in the book. Dany had it done as revenge for the crucified slaves.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Dany's brother was also the next in line and he was shit. Fake Aegon was a hedge against that, not Dany. Now that Dany is catching interest, Varys would have to account for that.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Ward is not a double agent. Why the fuck do people keep saying that? He has straight up murdered a ton of Shield agents, including 2 high ranking ones.
