    In reply to The New York Times Columnist Who's Helping To Ruin The Future
    The Cassandras have been warning of limits and resource depletion and population crashes for thousands of years

    The amusing part of that anecdote was that Cassandra is gifted with accurate prophecy by apollo, but is also cursed so that nobody ever believes her.

    So there you go.

    John Tierney: uses mythological references to mean exactly the opposite of what he intends them to mean!

    Great article, btw. Really great. #ecology

    I'm excited for the new Prisoner, even though it does seem to suffer a serious dearth of multi-colored capes and pennyfarthing bicycles. Also, snappy blazers. #theprisoner

    This guy is definitely a genius, and definitely Stooo-pid, as Dexter said more then once about his sister. This show is the Rocky and Bullwinkle of my daughter's generation.

    Don't forget that Sunday is also the UK premiere of the new Doctor Who special "Waters of Mars."

    If you'd asked me 10 years ago whether my two favorite UK shows would be back on the air on the same night, I'd have laughed in your face. #theprisoner

    In reply to Clone Wars Grows Up In Front Of Your Eyes In New Box Set
    I watched the cartoon's first season with the belief that the entire 100 episodes had been planned out into an arch. I was disappointed that season 1 did not have an arch. It did have a couple of two and three parters but no arc. Season 2 on the other hand seems to be arced. The first 5 shows have mostly impressed me. I agree that "Landing At Point Rain" was a bit harsh for Cartoon Network but it is shown during the Adult Swim time slot so I guess the network gave the writers some lea way.
    I hope they keep the story line moving along and don't get mired up in the whole Aniken and Padmae love affair too much. It is an easy trap for the writers to fall into. #starwarstheclonewars

    Of course I'm "that guy that liked ALF" so maybe we can form a support group together. #theprisoner

    In reply to JJ Abrams Gets Small For Micronauts Movie?
    I would think JJ would back away from another robot movie. I don't ever remember watching the Micronauts cartoon but I do remember that it only lasted a season or two. Did it ever get a cult following? #micronauts

    In reply to 5 Comics You're Not Reading (But Should Be)
    I love Locke & Key. I actually have that on my site's list of top 5 comics you should be reading as well. It's probably one of the comics I most look forward too every month or so. #5comicsyoushouldbereading

    In reply to JJ Abrams Gets Small For Micronauts Movie?
    If they use the comics as a launching point, there was some great potential. Talk of "body banks" and the different worlds with different alien races. Good reading. #micronauts

    In reply to The White House On V: What Aliens?
    Usually, I'd probably be aggrivated with yet another evasive White House Q&A session (we had plenty of that with the LAST administration), but in this case, I'm fully in Gibbs' corner.

    The White House has BETTER SHIT TO DO than critique a new ABC Miniseries. #v

    Good review. So much better than the other "this makes no sense and sucks" reviews elsewhere. #thebox
