Energy production. A big part of the problem with agriculture is how energy intensive it is. Resource absorption in the form of soil erosion and otherwise toxic, unsustainable procedures are a problem, but as it is, with hydroponics and advancing resource recycling techniques, these problems are sol...

I have kinda mixed feelings about this. If I'm guessing at these people's thinking correctly, they think that having a child participate in the slave auction would reinforce a sense of inferiority, making it inappropriate. However, although Rei touched on it, no one seems to have had a problem with ...

Oh the Rachni definitely owe a debt to EG, but I think it's more likely that a scriptwriter asked whoever they had science-checking their stuff to come up with an excuse for them to use instant communications with TIM so that Shepard could interact with him without forcing the player to constantly f...

That's the traditional comm system in Mass Effect, in ME2 Cerberus uses a much more sophisticated QE comm system to link The Illusive Man with the Normandy. Frankly, I don't think it owes EG any more inspiration credit than it does a million other sci-fi series which had instant communication tech. ...

This might have been mentioned already, but I started reading through Scandanavia and The World . I know pretty much nothing about the Scandanavian countries, their history or culture, but it's used to great comedic effect here, and the American, Canucks, Brits, and Aussies pop up more than often en...

Has anyone seen the animated Doctor Who? I came across it at the library today and checked it out, but haven't watched it yet. Somehow it's existence totally slipped by me. Looking forward to watching it! I was not a fan. Everything about them seemed pretty second rate. It doesn't help that they're...

So, since I'm expecting the Green Lantern movie to be pretty terrible, and GL is just about my favorite super-hero, but that's mostly based on Justice League episodes, I decided to shore up my geek cred by reading through all of the GL and GL Corps leading up to and including Blackest Night. If I'm ...

Gorge yourselves, PWebbers!
Myself, while they clash with the series often campy nature, I enjoy Metal Gear Solid's more serious pieces, like The Best is Yet to Come and Calling to the Night

I'm clear enough on that, and I'm not sure if they specified what time period this episode took place in, but they did specify that the ship Amy and Rory were on was a Galaxy-class ship, same as the Byzantium, which puts us right at about the 51st century, where the most advanced piece of technology...

Saw TRON: Legacy. Good, but, and I know how this sounds, a bit plot-heavy. It felt like they had a plot-ready made for any generic adventure movie and just sort of wrapped Tron around it. All the bits I actually came to see - the Lightcycles, the Disc Battles, had almost no relevance to the plot wha...

My cable stutters a bit sometimes since Comcast switched over to all-digital broadcasting. The powder room in my house is small, and the door is usually closed, so central heating makes it uncomfortably warmer than the hallway. I'm looking at my box set of the original Star Wars trilogy, upset that ...

Wikileaks has consistently spent millions and requested Pentagon support for reviewing any potential harm their leaks could produce. The Defense Secretary himself has said that any actual effect on the diplomatic corps would be fairly modest. Nobody seems bothered by the fact that it's only thanks t...

I don't really see it. The whole point of Ender is that the adults and teachers can't do what he can do. Their whole plan is basically just to put Ender through the grinder, and if he survives, put him in control of the IF and hope for the best. Mazer is the only one that ever successfully manipulat...

I realized I hadn't seen the first two seasons of 24, so I went to watch them. Spoilers follow, but mostly just for season 1. Watching them back to back, season 1 is very different from the rest of the series. Jack is somewhat restrained even. The opening episode of Day 2 he kills a witness in the c...

Marked the topic in general as spoileriffic. George's interruption of Harry and Ginny was probably the funniest scene in the movie. Not that there were many, but still. That and the dancing were a little shoehorned in, but otherwise well executed moments that kept a movie that would have otherwise b...

Looking back on BSG, the whole thing was a little weird. I only started watching in in the third season, so I got tons of action packed into it when I was watching, but in the first two seasons there was a lot of fluff - not in terms of being lighthearted, but plotlines and episodes that didn't have...

I still haven't seen the ending of Scott Pilgrim but I've seen enough to have a good impression and I'm a little sad to say, I think this movie was vastly overhyped by a bunch of fanboy types. I really liked what I saw, particularly Kieran Culkin as Wallace, I laughed throughout, was impressed by h...

Y'know, I thought I had some conception of just how big the universe is. 27.6 Billion Lightyears across. Sounds like a lot, yeah? But then, I always kind of picture it just as a bubble without any real sense of scale, and the size of it is kind of lost. Then someone points out that just in the obser...

After seeing Inception I thought that there was a lot of potential for extra stories using it's mechanisms, even if they were completely unrelated to the plot and characters of the movie. Sci-Fi shows like that got beat to death in the 90s, with Stargate more or less coming out on top, and it would ...
