Daveinva commented on The Original Max Smart Vs. The Cylons

"Way to incorporate the Universal backlot. I remember seeing this movie at the drive-in-- it was a double-bill of this and The Spy Who Loved Me."

Daveinva commented on First Look At Terminator 4's Underwater Kill-Bots

"Hmmm. My only worry-- that whole "Connor dies/replaced by a terminator" rumor comes true."

Daveinva commented on Battlestar Comics Resurrect Ghosts Of The Past

"The Bulldog episode "Hero" was one of those lousy studio-mandated one-offs, back when they thought the show would last forever-- studios hate combined storylines, they love one-offs that can plug in anywhere in syndication. All of the BSG "one-offs" were erratic."

"Not sure if Harry Turtledove should be pleased, or should sue ;-). Then again: Nazi AT-ATs! [i25.tinypic.com]"

Daveinva commented on Wild New Hints About Transformers 2

"I know that in the enlightened world of IO9 this stuff shouldn't matter to anyone, but my GF was watching the awful Tori Spelling reality show (the Tori and Dean one, not the "fake" show Notorious) the other day, and I caught a couple of minutes."

Daveinva commented on The Science Fiction Stories that Inspire and Hinder Real Science

"BTW, I'm waiting for IO9 to recommend a great dystopian fictional novel about a LEFT-wing takeover of the United States. Oh, wait-- the New Deal, Great Society, political correctness, and the MTV culture rot all *actually happened*."

Daveinva commented on The Science Fiction Stories that Inspire and Hinder Real Science

"A hammer is a tool that can build and kill. Science has no ethics-- *people* have ethics. Alas, I'll be the first to acknowledge-- some science is simply too much power in too few hands."

Daveinva commented on Three More Chances To Explore The Adama Family Tree

"As a huge BSG fan, I'm still worried about this. One, it's a prequel."

Daveinva commented on True Tales from Beyond the Solar System

"@Evil Tortie's Mom: "They literally don't make 'em like they used to." So true."

Daveinva commented on The Transformer Attack You Never Got To See

"Actually, that concept art, while cool, captures one of my big peeves with the Transformers movie (okay, I had lots of peeves, largely starting and ending with the movie sucking hard). None of the robots actually *look* like they transformed from a real-life object."

Daveinva commented on Nicholas Cage Faces Apocalypse By Numbers

"HOW'D IT GET BURNED?"

Daveinva commented on Are Mercury's Days as a Planet Numbered?

"Methinks IO9 is shopping another false controversy, and it's only Monday! Obviously, the "size" definition of a Plutoid is pretty arbitrary, so Mercury could be defined down."

Daveinva commented on Gort Gets His Vengeance In The Day The Earth Stood Still Trailer

"@I Think We're Property: "Because trees they never see and don't need are more important than the lives of an entire sentient race." And thus why we won't drill for oil in 2000 barren acres of a wilderness preserve no one will ever visit. Except Gort."

Daveinva commented on Where Is My Silicon-Based Life?

"Actually, I didn't like this post at all, because it doesn't bother answering the question. "Silicon life is harder than carbon life." Well, duh."

""The chances of a microscopic black hole forming are impossibly small." So."
