    I can't wait to see Smaug. I spent a lot of time in grade 3 (my teacher was awesome and read The Hobbit out loud to us, a great way to get kids into reading - almost every one of my classmates went on to read The Lord of the Rings) trying to draw him with little success.

    I really hate everything I read about the new love interests for Chuck and Sarah. It just seems so wrong considering the direction things were going at the end of season two. Still, I'll be patient and give it a chance. And as long as I get my weekly dose of Casey I won't be going anywhere.

    As for V - it has promise (at least it has driven me away with boredom a la SGU), but is anyone else finding the dialogue really, really cringe worthy awful at points? There are times when I feel embarrassed for the actors. #shazam

    Look, Hollywood, I love Ryan Reynolds as much as any straight dude can, but he is not meant for every superhero movie out there. I'm sure the reason Whedon got the boot from Wonder Woman is Warner Brothers wanted to hire Reynolds for the part. #shazam

    For the love of all that's good and holy--look. As an archaeologist, I'm getting tired of explaining this. Ok, it's like this: the calendar doesn't "run out." It's like the odometer on your car rolling over to 100,000, or the calendar rolling over from 1999 to 2000. It's not a date full of mystical prophesies or anything. The 13th baktun (a time period of about 394 years) ends and the 14th baktun begins. Last time a baktun rolled over in the early 1600s, the world didn't end.

    I mean, how many centuries does our calendar have? When does it "run out"? Well, it doesn't. Neither does theirs. #2012

    @TotalFanGirl: Of course you should be stocking up on those things. As well as ammunition for your pump shotgun, assault rifle, survival poaching rifle, and all your handguns. But not for 2012... for the next natural disaster in which FEMA tries to help you.

    IIRC, Mrs. Overclock (a.k.a. Dr. Overclock, Medicine Woman) and I got dressed up and went out dancing in Downtown Denver on December 31, 1999. After quite a bit of champagne, after midnight we peeked outside, saw the traffic lights were still working, and went back to the party.

    @cletar: I think all this confusion comes from people grafting the Christian/Islamic obsession with the end of the world onto Mayan mythology. Also, most people who are obsessed with 2012 haven't bothered to read actual Mayan mythology or tried to understand the Long Count calendar. #2012

    @bluehinter: The wiki has some intersting stuff - especially the line The cover artwork of Scales of Injustice even portrays a hybrid Silurian with features intermediate between their aquatic cousins the Sea Devils and one of the Silurians seen in Warriors. - if the Silurians are this open to interpretation in the canon, there's no reason this couldn't be one, I guess? #lost
