    I think it's realistic for rich westerners. Not so much for the average joe.

    I ALWAYS see people say the "space western thing" and it never, ever makes any sense.

    I actually like BTVS, I gave up watching as I moved onto other stuff, but it was the shit for awhile. Think I moved onto Angel, barely followed it, then kinda stopped watching TV for awhile. I just don't thnk the guy's the Messiah.

    Never ever got into Angel. Didn't even like the character in BTVS, thought the romance angle ruined the good fight scenes and stuff.

    Can someone explain to me what the fuck Farscape was all about?

    I watch one episode - creepy fucked up guy is the main enemy. Ok.

    I miss a few - creepy main guy is inside his fucking mind?

    That's fucking brilliance right there, that despite me not knowing what the fuck was going on, I still watched it.

    Farscape always reminded me of StarGate SG1, but ruder and with more fucked up aliens who look scary. In fact Buffy, Angel, Star Trek et al never managed to scare me as Farscape did with their funky bad guys.

    Before I saw the movie, I was so sure that Star Wars completely pwned Trek. Now? I'm not so sure. Epic movie is fucking epic.

    The science geek in me cringed a bit at the "supernova" and the black hole plot device, but I liked how the movie portrayed the effects of time travel. In reality, there's no need for Voyager's "time police". The mere act of travelling back in time creates an entirely new, separate universe. There's Universe A, where you jump into your time machine in, let's say, 2387 AD, but never reappear, then universe B, where you arrive in 2233 AD.

    There's no way to actually change the history of Universe A, which renders the very concept of a paradox preventing time police moot. So, essentially, the entire Xindi/Temporal Cold War arc in Enterprise was complete bullshit.

    You're linking to the same link Taure gave, Magus. You might've changed the text of the post, but it's still the same exact youtube link. -_-

    He changed the youtube link text, even though it linked to the same youtube video Taure gave before.

    Fucking lol! "kind of like an iPhone, but with an extra piece that you can lose sometimes", and "a cup of cofee, the morning paper; they're not going anywhere. They're just getting incredibly badass" were my favorites.
