YoungWilliam commented on A First Look At Dragonball's Live-Action Lord Piccolo

"I'm currently guessing they just haven't hit those bits with the CGI yet. I mean, the antennae?"

YoungWilliam commented on We Need Middle-Closure!

"Re: Ida & Alt-Ida Whew!"

YoungWilliam commented on First Look At Astro Boy's Home World

"I quite like the heart-installation bit -- [cache.gawker.com]"

YoungWilliam commented on Stargate Atlantis Cancelled

"@putch: what's the world on that inter-galactic/universal SG show?"

YoungWilliam commented on The Fangs Of Love Are Sharp, And Apparently Wooden, On The Middleman

"Aha!"

"I wonder if the Sagan book in question is Demon-Haunted World; I'm only just now getting up to the bit about psychics in it."

YoungWilliam commented on Harryhausen Alien Is Silent But Deadly

"Directorially, I actually like the bit with the arms. Top opens, something's in there."

YoungWilliam commented on The Middleman's Sexual Revolution

"I still have no clue at all why other, more popular stations aren't fighting over each other to get their hands on this show! And how is ABC Family allowing those costumes (or lack thereof), those double entendres (EG: "I'm looking for some hootch"), and that censored swearing!?"

YoungWilliam commented on Last Night's Middleman Was A Shipper's Dream

"@salthegeek: And not just that, but murder!"

YoungWilliam commented on The Saddest Robots in Eurasia

"The first one rather reminds me of this icon of someone I half-know. [p-userpic.livejournal.com]"

YoungWilliam commented on The Tragic Beginning of Dr. Horrible

"I'm not sure if I'd be for or against the idea of Penny re-animated through Horrible Science."

YoungWilliam commented on Bill Nye The Science Guy Tells Larry King He's All Alone

"I've always been fond of the (entirely fictional) idea that they've just been doing a horrible job of trying to cover up a perfectly mundane (albeit weird) thing. Like say, "We launched a test of a spy balloon and Private Bob got tangled up in the lines."

YoungWilliam commented on Doctor Who's Russell T. Davies Is The Gay Michael Bay

"Re: Muttery Rose I'd heard of some interview where Ms.Piper was claiming to have a hard time "finding Rose's voice" when they were first setting her up to return for these bits. I'd presumed at the time that she just meant it in the sense of character motivation, mannerisms, etc.."

YoungWilliam commented on The Measure of a Robot

"@Lizzie24601: Neither are the nWho Cybermen, if I recall (there's some talk of there being organic bits in the nWho Cybermen, although I think the old-school ones had moved past the point of keeping anything organic) But Daleks?"

YoungWilliam commented on How Battlestar Copied (And Improved On) Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

"One bit I both liked and disliked about the Worf/Dax relationship in DS9 was when Jadzia bied, Worf set her up as an "honorary Klingon" and gave her the funeral rites, then she showed up a while later as Skippy Dax. Her re-arrival just threw Worf for a loop, since it violated every mental, physical, and theological standard he had. Unfortunately, things worked out in the end and he hooked up with Skippy Dax, but I think I would have preferred it if they hadn't and she was just an albatross around his neck, like the twin-sister (...sort of...) of his dead wife."

YoungWilliam commented on Doctor Who's New Girlfriend GIves Good Phone

"Although note about the "mummy" bit, the Doctor was quite thrilled at the end of that encounter, due to how (to quote) "everyone lives". At the time it was awfully traumatic, but it was a pretty good case of things just going -right- down the drain and him managing to pull it off and save the day. Unless poor Ross."

YoungWilliam commented on Forget Warp Speed, Try One Of These Alternative FTL Ideas

"Both the Buck Rogers TV series (with Gil Gerard) and Cowboy Beebop have an affair that's not quite hyperspace and not quite Stargate -- basically, one can set up a shortcut bolthole "Just hop me from Point A to Point B" thing between two gate-like structures. Unlike hyperspace or most FTL drives, anything can go through them, so it doesn't require a special kind of ship."

YoungWilliam commented on Laurie Anderson's Petrochemical Arms

"And she's married to Lou Reed now, if I recall correctly. Should they ever have kids, they'll probably be the luckiest kids in all eternity."
