Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, but you're asking if the described lines of reasoning are all conscious or whether OSC details the subconscious ones as well? I think it rather depends on the character, but (I never thought I'd say this, but) it's been a while since I read ANY of the books. It is stat...

Tiny genius

Except OSC isn't making any money off of ticket sales from the movie at ALL. While Card won’t profit directly from movie revenues, the author continues to earn money from sales of the original book, which has soared to the top of the New York Times Bestseller List "Ticket sales" being the...

Okay, good one for pointing out the inherent irony in intolerantly calling someone a bigot and shunning them, having recently gone through some religion-based struggles, I have studied a few aspects of this and some other seeming paradoxes, bu here's one you may've missed - calling the boycotters &q...

Tiny genius

Okay, I may read some posts later but I'm tired and just thought I'd say - I'm glad they've stopped making the Doctor younger and younger. I hope to see DW become less shiny and I guess filmlike and go back to its original form of a funny, dark, appealing-to-specific-audience, cult TV series, instea...

Tiny genius

Hehe, I did enjoy that line, even put in the middle of the Dalek Invasion movie with Peter Cushing... I didn't like the movie as a whole...

Also, that is a fantastic price for DVDs and Who at that, but there are sooo many of them - I really need to expand my own collection.

Tiny genius

I have An Unearthly Child on video (yes, 16-year-old owns VHS) and it's been AGES since I watched it. My mates and I welcomed in season seven with TARDIS biscuits and watching the original Dalek 7-parter. Fun times...

Tiny genius

Yah 'tis down. I'm wearing my "Remember: The Enemy's Gate is Down" t-shirt to the midnight screening (hooray for Aussie time beating American!). I too respond, without hesitation, "Ender's Game" to any questions pertaining to good books or my favourite. Welcome aboard, Rayne.

Tiny genius

On the season finale - I liked it. I enjoyed it more than most of the other episodes in season seven and have hopes that the writing'll pick up, but it looks to get VERY much darker, so yeah... darker hues indeed.

Tiny genius

I'll try to find it again.

Tiny genius

Yeah, if we start giving my screen name a separate identity I could get a split personality disorder. My older brother reckons I've got one already.

Tiny genius

I like your point about species diversity, but I think that habitat would supercede morphic connectivity as far as evolution was concerned. I's thinking about how it might be applied to computing, a "Sheldrake machine", so to speak. Google Sheldrake. (Also, chances are spell checker doesn'...

Hey, I know it isn't really a birthday, but I just realised that it's exactly a year since I joined.

Phone numbers. Nice ones, that is. Some numerical sequences are just plain ugly.

Also, making a mug of coffee in total darkness that tastes decent and without spilling anything. Part of my campaign not to rely on my diminishing sight.

Tiny genius

There were very few things about Pitch Perfect that I didn't like but they're so minor, I'm not counting them. Hilarious movie with a pretty damn good soundtrack. Recommend. I'm not sure when that came out since my sister just came over recently, sat the family down and downloaded it to watch... Go...

Tiny genius

As I've been told countless times, "It'll take you five minutes to Google it and find out." And, lucky for you, it really WILL take only five minutes or thereabouts because, as far as I know, you don't take a full minute to read a line of an article! Isn't that fan-smegging-tastic? IF I'd ...

Tiny genius

A few months of silence... I propose a new subject, if anyone's interested. I've recently become a little more interested in morphic fields as a partial explanation for coincidence, which I hold to be non-existent. Everything in the world is linked in one way or another, thus common features of seem...

Tiny genius

I was wondering about what it is that makes zombie movies so scary (to some). I ran through elements in my head; music, jump-scares such as loud bangs and zombies popping out of nowhere, gore... none of these freak me out. No movie or TV show seems to freak me out anymore so I thought back to the la...

is it my imagination or are we getting an influx of Launchies?

Tiny genius

Mmmmm.... I agree that that scene has a different and greater impact when watched in retraspect. I'm sorry to bring this up, but I'm a ranter and quite annoyed and so I will: It's as if I'm CURSED. Every box set of discs I've bought/received in the past two months (Torchwood 1, Player One and Torchw...

Tiny genius

I'm careful to avoid reading stuff about episodes I haven't seen on the internet and so Amy's and Rory's departure had the full impact on me. There's something to do with the chronology that I want to know: In that place the Angels built, did they zap you back and then let you catch up and zap again...

Tiny genius

Dang, Jack's awesome. But congratulations on turning your niece Whovian, Luet. Whoooh, new converts! My VT's 4yo daughter is recently turned Whovian too and apparently asking every night if Doctor Who will be on. Oh, something I'd like clarified: Maybe I just didn't see something on screen that alte...

Tiny genius

I've only seen half of DoaS, but it seemed great! My Who-party (actually just two mates and myself) went well, as well as Asylum we watched copious amounts of Who, mainly the original Dalek episodes which we enjoyed mocking the hell out of. Something I really want to be in this series, CAPTAIN JACK'...

Tiny genius

WHOOOOO-WOOO! Just watched the new episode, AMAZING!!!! Man, I loved every minute of that. Thing is, it hasn't aired on the ABC yet and so I'm going to get a bunch of my Whovian friends together to watch it, I hope. Luckily, I recently turned 16 and got a Dalek shirt, so I've got something Who-relat...

Tiny genius

Ha. Learned last night that, just because it's Doctor Who and the new season and so on, the ABC catch-up site will be putting ep1 up after it airs on BBC, which means I get to see it a week earlier! I don't think I'll tell my brother though, he'll be on a holiday weekend and going NUTS for missing t...

Tiny genius

Haha!! Yay for you!! Baby girls are funny things.

Tiny genius

Damn it wascally Mobius! I was going to put that one AGES ago and COMPLETELY forgot. Urgh, so ticked.

Tiny genius

I haven't got too much time on me right now, so I haven't read the "translated fragment" but what I wanted to say was that I'm aware of (and enjoy) Theater of the Absurd and the thread name is just a parody of that. [edit] Okay, I had more time than I thought and so I read it. Definitely w...

Tiny genius

...perfectly alright, damn it! It's just a horse, a perfectly ordinary horse.

Tiny genius

I love the idea of the absurd, the unexpected, the scarily cereal. It's something that has always interested me. Random stuff that doesn't make sense, copletely disconnected views of reality. To give you two ideas of what I'm on about, I'll use examples of my own and Douglas Adams' writing. In the b...

I would've said to set up a net virus that inhabited every terminal it could and set up a daily voting routine, but that's cheating and besides, they've got that ever-irritating CAPTCHA.

Tiny genius

That did cross my mind, that he might just see it as a part of his older brother. And Alea, I did misunderstand you but now that it's been clarified for me, I agree. I wouldn't deliberatly seek to hide it, especially if it would become too confusing and difficult for all involved, but I wouldn't go ...

Tiny genius

I'm not "hiding" it from Ev, the nine year old, I'm just not sure if I should tell him right at the moment. For starters, he's pretty immature, even for a nine-year-old, and either wouldn't get it or not know when it was appropriate to make jokes or mention it. He's also terrible at keepin...

Tiny genius

Ha! When I read the reply, I'm thinking, "Okay, completely random Doctor Who quote, fun but why?" until I re-read the end of my own post and got it. I'm not a fan of the fez, one of only a few differences between what myself and the Doctor consider to be "cool". Whenever I take t...

I didn't want to start a new thread, so I'll just continue on with this one. Just wanted to let you guys know that I've finished telling every member of my immediate family (plus some close friends) about me being bi. It's all gone quite well, but I think Mum's still clinging to the hope/idea that i...
