See, that's kind of oxymoronic because you *would* prefer to be brutalized when no such brutality exists for caucasians. That's kind of the point. You'll never be stopped, frisked, and questioned just because of your skin color. You won't be arrested for offenses that aren't arrestable just because you're black or Latino. It's easy to say when you haven't been experiencing fear of police and being handcuffed and manhandled several times a year for your whole life.
I'm still waiting for them to find the Ancient robot that's stored somewhere on the ship, so that it can run around on its treads and shout "WARNING WARNING" a whole bunch...
That, or I'm waiting for them to realize the ship is sentient. #stargateuniverse
What they may also not have mentioned was that, prior to the mice being injected with the retrovirus that used blue light sensitive genes to alter their eyes, they were previously blind (as is genetically common with lab mice). So it's also basically a potential cure for blindness, or potentially a way to allow humans to see other forms of light if genes are discovered that are sensitive to say, infrared or ultraviolet spectra. #neuroscience
I don't think anyone expected Dollhouse to make it to a second season, and that's why it's currently sucking. The first season was great and ended well... but it looks like more than one season was too much to ask.
I was really hoping the Colonel was going to end up in a spiffy Ancient wheelchair. Got to love a commanding officer in a wheelchair.
I was also a little disappointed to not see an alien of some kind in the mix, but maybe they'll encounter one next episode...
Maybe it's not specifically a novel, but D.C.'s Crisis on Infinite Earths is another area worth mentioning here, there's a rich history of multiverse reaching back to the 1950s, around the time "many worlds" was first posited: [en.wikipedia.org])
@Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.: Thanks for mentioning Quantum Cats - I was a little surprised that one got missed... where else is Stephen Hawking a hero??
