  1. So, the producers of 300 want to cash in on the Zach Snyder style again, only without Zach Snyder?

    And yeah, the 4 arrow scene was nearly a shot-for-shot ripoff of Flying Daggers.

  3. I have never understood rabid fandom for media or entertainment.

    I don't mean liking something. Everyone does that.

    I mean being SO invested in a media icon or other entertainment element that they start identifying with the subject, often publicly aggressively labeling themselves as part of a fan group. So invested that they get actually emotionally upset when someone posts negatively about their particular obsession, as if they themselves were personally being insulted.

  4. Except your password is one of the things that Sony believes might have been compromised.

    So they perhaps ARE a complete bunch of morons.

    Is there any particular reason they couldn't calculate the rough position of the refugee ships? Flying at sublight, they could at least get a ballpark idea of where they might be and start searching around from there.

    If nothing else they could re-unite the colonists with their people.

    I will say that, while not having seen next final two episodes yet, so far this one (and the one before it) might have served well as the series finale.

    Pretty much Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure?

    Remember that they did this again in the last Red Nose Day Special.

    Eleven only knew which switch to pull cos he tells himself.

  11. Huh. Why do I get the impression that when Olivia Wilde's character talks about 'her people', she doesn't mean humans?

    That's very impressive. Also a bit frightening in the deep depths of my subconscious fearplace. Maybe a water-balloon gun would also be a good investment...
    It's coming for youuuu....

    If I can find the video out on the internet I'll post it, but my first thought was "AT-AT Walker."
    Big Dog?

    I think the best we can hope for is that in a few years when the studio inevitably investigates reviving the property for a new series, they write some resolution to SGU into the pilot.

    Eh, they could always do a finale episode a couple years after the fact like Farscape did.

    They'd need an active large fanbase to constantly rally and push for a resolution, though - ah, crap.

    Vault Door Open?

    Really, many of the wall lights allow you to "stick" other wall objects to them at odd angles.

    Place a cubicle, then stick one of the odd-shaped wall lights (like the torch or wall sconce) to the cubicle. Then stick whatever wall item (that you want put at an angle) to the wall light.

  20. Personally, I think CLU2 did send the page, but he was expecting Alan Bradley to come to the rescue. Which is why he was a little surprised at seeing Sam.

    Remember that it was Alan who got the page.

    It would be nifty if they got David Warner and Cindy Morgan back for part 3.

  21. All I know about Vampire is that guys used to the main game who show up to a Vampire: Dark Ages LARP are often startled and fearful when their mincing gothy emo politicking tends to be met with heads being ripped off.

    Not even remotely.

    I was talking the evil twin thing that those guys had on GI Joe. Since that is essentially what the Rushes were. Other than the pain-transference thing, they would've been pretty similar to those two. It would've been interesting to see just how amoral two Rushes could be. Would it be a negative or a positive feedback situation? Would they have turned on each other at some point? Would they have tried to create an army of Rushes using temporal situations (like one of 'em mentioned)?
    You know just how much Tomax/Xamot slash fic is out there?

    As an aside, it appears Hulu.com has rescinded the 30-day delay before showing new episodes, this last one is already up on the site.

    (They still have the 30-day delay note on the page, though)
