Technically Jesus was a Vampire. If you drink his blood what do you get? Eternal Life (at least within the fiction of the Bible that is), if you drink a vampire's blood what do you get? Eternal Life. Jesus has magical powers, Vampires have magical powers. Jesus is worshipped by millions (billions?) the world over, Vampires like LeStat, and that Twilight dude are worshipped by millions (billions?) the world over. So there you go, Jesus is a Vampire, not a zombie.

you know...when you put all male rats in a cage by, eventually they have sex with each other, so I predict a rise in homosexuality in CHina in coming years (unfortunately I believe homosexuality is illegal in China). I also predict a large(r) amount of male Chinese of this "male" generation will choose to study abroad and seek to stay after college (or at least take a foreign wife before returning). Finally, it should be noted that being male and 18-25 years old are just about the most dangerous things you can be anywhere, so a good number of extra males will probably remove themselves from the gene pool.
Everything I've heard and seen about star trek makes me not only not want to go see it in the theatre, not only not see it in the dollar theatre when it gets there, but it has been relegated to the lowest of the low, I'll see it on DVD, when someone else rents it, fuck you paramount, you won't get my money till you give me more TNG era Trek.

Just because a book is a national bestseller does not mean it is being read. How many people do you think actually read the books Oprah reccomends? Yeah they get bought, but owning something Oprah likes is trendy, and while I can't fairly compare Oprah's reading club to the American Academy of Arts and Letters, I have to assume that, things they reccomend make lots of sales to people who have no intention of reading, and instead simply wish to display how trendy, artsy, educated or "snobbish" they are with their bookshelf collections.

As an artist, there's many things I'll sacrifice for my work, sleep and food for instance (also money). However, while I for one would generally welcome our new artistic cyborg overlords, I would totally not be willing to pluck out an eye for art. Please tell me he lost his eye in an accident or war or it's a birth defect or something...

Do you mean the sunday night deathslot, cause tvguide.com is showing kings in it's regular sunday night deathslot? But Since SciFi and NBC are parts of the same company it's not unusual to see shows from one on the other. They did it with Heroes, first season, and I used to see farscape reruns super late nite on NBC.

There must be a joke here somewhere about Culkin playing the King's nephew, and Culkin's not testifying against The "king" of Pop, I just can't think of one.

China will work itself out in a generation, they have many (MANY) more male children surviving to adulthood than female, which will cause a population bottleneck in a generation or two.

I just saw something on the history channel about David, guess he eventually kills _everyone_ in the biblical story, so my guess is this interpretation will lose his halo eventually and go all Darth Vader on the royalty, the people, the enemies of the state, should be good.
Also, did anyone else notice something about the Jack saying something about the mother setting up the monarchy? Plus the society being stone age primitives fighting with clubs before they came to be? Did the show just get more Science Fictional? What is the nature of the Royals? Are they immortal (hard to believe stone age to modern age in one generation unless...)...are they aliens, or cross-dimensional travellers?

So that noone will see where he goes or to whom he speaks, and what he speaks about. He doesn't want people to know that the Reverend (and thus god) and he aren't tight anymore.

They should have left the rumors alone, if I know that no TNG cast appear in the new trek movie, I have one less reason to go see it. As if I needed reasons to not see it.
It's all my fault. I got a job at a large bookstore just as the Econopocalypse was getting into full swing, and after years of not reading for fun while in college I went into a bit of a Science Fiction book buying smorgasboard, how could I say no?

a pause button, or intermission. How often have you gone to a 2 hour movie or longer and had to sit uncomfortably through the last 45 minutes because you got that large soda? If the theatres want to sell more overpriced sodas they NEED to bring back the intermission, give us 10 minutes in the middle to pee and smoke and we might even buy more soda/snacks before we come back.

Clearly, noone in England would ever affect a style of dress from an earlier era, clearly England is devoid of historical reenactors, artists or hippies with handmade or vintage clothing. Clearly.

What's wrong with a klan style hood? Cobra Commander is a BAD GUY, Klansmen are BAD GUYS, I fail to see what the problem here is.
The only thing I won't miss is rushing home from work on Friday nights, and not being able to go out so I could see the show "live".
