    Yes, my thoughts exactly. The Earth part of the movie felt rushed, and Thor's redemption and relationship with Jane Foster didn't feel as developed as they could've been. Other than that, I quite liked it.

    And Fort Wayne, Indiana had Harry Baals for mayor. Sadly, they recently declined the Harry Baals Government Center, going for the much duller Citizens Square.
  4. Voted twice. The costume looks great.


    Also, that Biff guy leaving all the comments is creepy.

    I think so Brain, but where are we going to find a duck and a hose at this hour?
  6. I hope they bring back Canton, too. Mark Sheppard is freaking awesome.

    The Doctor's game of last chance before you are destroyed only has two strikes.
    You forgot one. The Silence tried to erase the universe by blowing up the Doctor's beloved TARDIS. Strike zero.

    With that, and the gunfight at the end of the episode, this felt more like an episode of Torchwood than Doctor Who. The Doctor I know didn't kill things, and didn't let his companions go nuts with firearms, and tried everything he could to avoid genocide. This entire two-parter just felt wrong to me.
    It's not genocide if the Silence stays away from humanity. Or at least the segment of humanity that has TV. And then the Internet.

    Besides, the Silence started it.

    He had a good run. Still,

    I checked my Hulu queue about 2 hours before it was pulled. I was like, 'In before the delete!' :3
    That's weird. Looks like USA pulled the movie from their video player, too. I wonder if they meant it to be up a week after the movie aired, like they usually do with new episodes.

    That's what I'd do. I'd make a big announcement that I cast, let's say Robert Downey Jr., let people go nuts trying to figure out who he's going to play, and then reveal that he'll be doing a ten second cameo as a random pedestrian in peril.

    With a film this anticipated, who could resist screwing with the fans?
  14. Yes, because pointing out to everyone who is unemployed will make the unemployed feel soooo much better about themselves.
  15. Missed it because of work, but I caught it on Hulu.

    That was a good origin story for Sam. And the chainsaw through the truck was just nasty.
  16. Sounds interesting. I'll have to keep an eye out for it in my library system.

    At least it's not a Weeping Angel clown.

    Presumably it's located under the same bathroom where the pilots go to read the latest issue of Naboobies.
  21. A reminder for all of the Burn Notice fans out there that The Fall of Sam Axe will be airing this Sunday. Come see the exploits of La Barbilla!
  22. Looks like it's time for Superman to bust out the cellophane S!

    What else can you expect when students are hiring people to do their research for them? Or when students "write" a paper by copying and pasting from whatever comes up on Google?
