    The thumbnail of Woody H in 2012 made him look like a Viking at first glance. Strange fact: The thought that Emmerich would have a viking in 2012 did NOT surprise me.

    And someone should tell Jack Kenny that Hitler's microphone is ok but Hitler's accordion would be a lot funnier. Just a suggestion.

    Jesus.

    Rob Leifeld telling people how excited he is about the Deadpool movie is as much of an endorsement as George Lucas going around talking about how great a new Star Wars project is going to be.

    At best it carries no weight or credibility with people who like the property, and at worse it makes them more nervous about it.

    Rob Liefeld needs to be kept away. From everything comic-related, ever.

    Deadpool didn't even start his 'breaking the fourth wall schtick' until well after Liefeld had bailed on Marvel. Liefeld designed Deadpool as a ripoff of Deathstroke, from Teen Titans, and Fabian Nicieza is the one that gave him the chatty annoying personality. (Nicieza also gave Deadpool the real name of Wade Wilson, a reference to Slade Wilson, Deathstroke's real name.)

    It always bothers me whenever Liefeld shows up and starts spouting about creating Deadpool. Yes he designed his look, (a black and red-clad ninja) but the personality that makes him so popular, Liefeld had nothing to do with.

    @AtomicTao: Liefeld had a pretty boring run with Deadpool. It seemed like all DP ever did was narrate himself. He didn't get interesting until after Liefeld wasn't involved.. like you said

    @AtomicTao: Be careful with speaking badly against Liefield. They say if he hears, he'll visit you while you're sleeping and re-design your body so that you'll have massive muscles, out of proportion facial features, and dainty little misshapen feet. Also, like his characters, he'll steal your personality and ability to make interesting dialogue.

    Re: Warehouse 13...

    Obviously Artie lived. Can we also speculate the use of a "reset button".

    Hey it's Warehouse 13, they probably have an actual reset button. Of course they would know to keep it out of the warehouse for this very reason.

    Artie would never use the Phoenix, as it would cause the deaths of innocent people. If he wouldn't use it to save the woman he loved, he wouldn't use it to save himself either.

    @BeowulfRex: He definitely had the phoenix in his pocket. It was plainly displayed for the viewers as the item up for auction when they arrested McPherson. On the ride back to the Warehouse everybody had time to hold it and thus nobody (important or on screen) died as a result of Artie reaching into his pocket and activating it at the last second.

    @WestMantooth: Unfortunately, that's the logical next step after they date other people.

    Not that I ever believed Artie was dead, but when you have spoilers 2 days later talking about all the stuff he's involved with in season 2, it takes the suspense out of it.

    Of course, on Lost you still wouldn't know if he was alive or dead but Lost is logarithmically better than Warehouse 13.

    So we're sticking with this idea that House is science fiction? Is it that hard to find topics to cover that this is necessary? What about all that non-existent tech that exists on Bones and CSI Miami with the big holographic computers?

    @AngriestGeek: again, and honestly this has been done to death by now, science fiction is not a clearly defined term with exact specifications and limits on what falls without or within it and it wouldn't even matter if it was since there are plenty of things this blog covers that aren't. not the least of which is actual science fact, the furthest possible opposite of science fiction.

    @AngriestGeek: Umm. It's io9 cronyism at it's best! A vocal group here has lobbied for a long time to see House covered, myself included (for disclosure.) I also support Bones coverage, but one series at a time.

    It's pretty easy for those that don't like reading about it, to skip it. Me, for example, I don't ever read anything about 2012, just not my cup of tea. I look at the pictures, and watched Garrison's parody (FANTASTIC, btw.) Not much else though.

    House doesn't get all that much coverage here anyway. Showed up in "What to Watch" and "Morning Spoilers" now. One other post specific to it is all I can think of right now.
