Definately too early to Rossum, despite them clearly being EVIL AS ALL HELL.
But I am SHOCKED that Umbrella Corp didn't make the list. I mean, how many apocalypses do you need to be responsible for to make this list?
Lets not forget cyberspace - coined by Gibson in Neuromancer.
@IGPNicki:
I had the same reaction to that. Nebucannezzar? Really? Haven't read in more than a decade now? I know professional speakers who stutter over that one.
But I definately got the feeling that she had another glitch with the 'move your ass' speech. It was definately out of character for that imprint - but obviously so. It smacks of delibrate placement, rather than bad writing, especially considering who wrote this one.
And, as much as I'm complaining about this not an hour beforehand on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, they need to do less plot, and more exposing the plot that happened. Even if it's just some cultist noting "Hey, she sounds different now..."
One of the better episodes yet, in my opinion, because it really showcases what this show should be about. For once, I was equally interested in all the plotlines, Echo wasn't a whore, Eliza showed that she could, in fact, act as something other than faith, and...
wait, did anyone else catch that preview? Holy god! Next week's episode is now the highest thing on MY priority list - I dunno about anyone else.
Drugs might help!
-thinks-
And a cow. We MUST have a cow.
-sighs- I need to catch up on Fringe.
In other news: Christopher Eccleston announces that he will continue to be in every scene as Claude Raimes - the invisible man.
It makes you wonder about similar effects for different tests. The article mentions pretty extensive testing on an (n-back) test, but what about a potential (n-forward) test.
...say, Chess, for example?
Same result? Different? Could it help predict plausible outcomes of scenarios rather than retain memory?
Could this be why many discoveries are made within-field? Scientists are trained to think scientifically, and hence are better at science, while a poet is better at thinking rhythmically, and can analyze them more quickly?
It'd be interesting to see branches from this research as much as anything, especially a test on the long-term effect of this, and if the benefit stays when regular practice stops.
