    As being a long time follower of the space program. That was the coolest thing I have seen in along time. OMFG! The Apollo missions are imho the greatest scientific / exploritory achievement the human race has accomplished to date.

    @Shikome: I watched it 3 times now and I'm still kinda speechless.

    As a kid, I used to keep newspaper clips about the space program and at one point I wrote to NASA for pictures, which they sent me, for free. I also followed with great interest the descent of SkyLab in 1979.

    That is to say, I'm a total sucker for space-related stuff.

    I like the original better. Don't tell me you guys are just now discovering this series. This is the best thing on Atom.

    Here's the original that started it all:

    I don't understand the amount of people attacking Lady Gaga here for the most random of things. Compared to the stuff this site normally goes insane over, none of this criticism of Lady Gaga is warranted. I don't even like her, but how can you call her a copycat, a capitalist (what?), or random.

    Just a bunch of jealous bitches is what i09 has become. But the second Joss Whedon does something, there will be about 300 comments promoting him as the next Jesus. #futurism

    @KassiaHaoe: It's just the flip side of the same coin. Everyone hated Sarah Connor Chronicles until it was cancelled, and then suddenly it was the greatest show evah.

    Just wait. The ever-present haters will swarm that thread like locusts very soon. #futurism

    @DrLocrian: I thought Sarah Connor got decent reviews, outside of the fact it was a giant timeline mindfuck that ruined tons of premises. I mean, if you are doing a timeline story, you can't keep it going. See: Chrono Cross.

    But I digress. Dollhouse was never a well respected show. And Joss Whedon is not some amazing visionary. If anything, he's the Peter Molyneux of television. Sure, he had a good idea here and there, but in general he's all talk. Though it is a bit of a harsh criticism on Whedon as Molyneux is a pretty horrible person. #futurism

    @KassiaHaoe: I'm talking more about the general tone of message board commenters than critical consensus. Generally, io9ers will pick at every nit until it bleeds and hate on anything and everything that someone likes with any enthusiasm whatsoever, provoking equally exaggerated defenses of whatever it is. #futurism

    she tipped her hand with this video. while i enjoyed the catchiness and pure danceability of "Poker Face" and "Just Dance," the continued vapid rich-bitch theme in the video for "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich" convinced me that she actually was shallowly promoting conspicuous consumption; a product of me-me-me gaudiness, the weird flavor was just shock value to contrast with the princesses and sex kittens that have dominated radio. it's troubling how many (young) people will take Lady Gaga at face value and praise the spoiled party-girl attitude, but those poor souls will find justification anywhere they look. i'd dismissed her as enjoyable but distasteful; nothing to seek out or support.

    but this! there are just too many references -- sci-fi, horror, camp, cult, exploitation, pop/metal -- for this girl to not be genuinely interested in imagery. and i find that interesting. and encouraging. here's hoping it's commentary and not just capitalism.

    [edit] because long, hyphenated words do odd things with the comment box, apparently.
