OK, I am not a fan of zombie movies, but I just popped in here to post what I think is the funniest quote by a zombie movie fan. I'm sorry that I don't have the link, but a fan wrote an essay about zombie movies and when I got to the sentence "There's no such thing as a good zombie movie." I...

I have to agree that as comic book adaptations this isn't up there with Batman Begins or Ghost in the Shell, but it's certainly in the same ballpark. Mostly I think the positive response it's getting (i.e. claims that it is better than Batman Begins) comes from the lighter tone. Anyway...

Well, if you like a game where your choices impact the game world, check out Fallout and Fallout 2 sometime. Here's hoping Bethesda doesn't screw up Fallout 3. New update (taken from a post at the official Obsidian forums): Looks like it's going to be more than 3 weeks, but they're...

http://www.team-gizka.org/wip.html As any PC game fan knows, the otherwise excellent Knights of the Old Republic 2 was released in an unfinished state due to scheduling restrictions (LucasArts wanted it released in time for Christmas). Interestingly, the resources for the cut content was...

I'm betting they won't go that route. Part of the concept of the show is that each season is a relatively self-contained story arc (that's why they're called "volumes" and have titles ["Genesis" for volume 1, "Generations" for volume 2, etc.]). I'm thinking that the bomb business is pretty well...

I never claimed I was listing all of the traits. You're in the early stages of constructing a straw man. Careful.

Or just have daddy Noah train her and she's basically Painkiller Jane. ;)

A lot of inconsistencies in season one can be forgiven by explaining that the characters are still inexperienced. That excuse isn't going to fly for very long though (pun intended). However, the writers are going to have to come up with some kind of limitation on Peter and Sylar, otherwise...

I think Nikki understood that. She was asking why he didn't let her get hit instead of him. Obviously, Nikki and DL need more practice using their powers together. DL should have phased Nikki rather than taking the bullet himself. With a little practice, those two could be a very lethal...

What you and I think is irrelevant. What is relevant is what is thought by the academics who study this sort of thing, and the items I listed have been identified as common characteristics of fascist regimes from Germany to Italy to latin America. That's not based on my personal opinion, it is...

No, I am not confusing ideology with totalitarianism, which is why I listed the things that academics identify as characteristics of fascist regimes. Please note that very little on that list is specific to totalitarianism. Back on topic: Arrrrrgh! Why do we have to wait so long?

D'oh!

I don't have specific experience with that version of office on that version of windows, but traditionally, new Microsoft operating systems do just fine running older versions of office. After all, Microsoft would have strong motivation to make sure they work together, or they'd risk having one...

How would that work? If the 5 are hybrids themselves, how could they be the creators of the original biocylons? If the seven aren't the original biocylons, who is?

Didn't Baltar alter the test to stop producing positive results altogether after the confrontation with Sharon?

I don't remember if it was this thread, or another BSG thread on another forum I post at, but someone mentioned the Sagittaron storyline. I'm convinced that ripping that storyline out of the Sagittarons from season three is the reason season three feels so off. If you look at the individual...

I don't think the 12 models necessarily correspond to the zodiac signs, as the BSG correlates the zodiac signs with the 12 gods of the human religion. The 12 models represent what the cylons consider to be the 12 archetypes of human personality, and I rather suspect those archetypes involve...

I would mock those who surf porn sites at work, except that I keep coming to sites like this when I'm supposed to be working, so I'm not sure I have any room to talk. D'oh! Shame on me.

Robert, I've seen variations on that theory on other boards, and I hope it's not true. I prefer my flawed humans to be (1) flawed and (2) human. ;)

Adama met Tigh shortly after the First Cylon War, when both were out of work (and Tigh was beginning to become an alcoholic). This means that Tigh's memories and military records from the first war could easily be fabricated, because there is no human in the colonial fleet who can independently...

People subscribe to threads? Whoa. That must get kind of annoying when this thread gets really active. Oh, and my condolences on the spoiler. Please don't tell me whatever it was.

Five, which would be exactly the right number, wouldn't it? I hope I'm wrong (Tigh as a cylon wouldn't be nearly as interesting, and he would be largely redundant with Cavil), but it's worth pointing out.

Interesting thought: what if Roslin lied about her cancer? If she is using chamalla because she is trying to induce more visions, she probably wouldn't want word getting out to the fleet and would have a motive for creating the cancer story. If she has become addicted to chamalla, well, we...

Bah. There's one thing I found absolutely incredulous in tonight's episode. It was something they did to enhance the conflict between the Adama's, and that was the old man's inability to understand the reason or necessity of providing Baltar a fair trial. Cripes, if there's anyone in the...

Speaking of fun moments, I loved finding out what the Klingon divorce ritual entailed (the one with Quark). It seemed so perfectly and characteristically Klingon that I was literally laughing out loud when I first saw it.

Yeah, there are a whole bunch of things that identify a fascist regime, and it's not just totalitarianism. The fleet leadership certainly meets some of the criteria (giving too much power to the military, entwining church and state, obsessing about security, suppressing labor, cronyism...

From what I heard, the trial will focus on prosecuting Baltar for events on New Caprica, and of all that Baltar did, that would be one of the easiest things for Romo (sorry for misspelling it "Rolo" earlier) to defend. When the cylons showed up, the fleet in orbit (including the Galactica)...

I caught an interesting observation on the official forums. While my opinion of the third season isn't nearly as negative as some, I can't help but feel that something is missing this season. I don't think it's that season three lacks a giant space battle every episode. The first two...

I love the new lawyer, Rolo Lampkin. He's sleazy, slick, knowledgeable about human nature, manipulative, and a raging kleptomaniac. He should cause lots of trouble and keep the show interesting, so I hope they keep this character around well past the trial.

I'm with you rather than Lou's take on this one.
