It's true.  You know who forgot about the reality gem?  The Magus.  And it did him no good.

You forgot Aspergers Annie over in Korea.

Serenity. The Reapers are the stupidest enemy in sci find history.

I remember there being "Reivers" in Serenity, don't remember any "Reapers".

I remember there being Reavers.

And, no, they're not.  Most zombie concepts are much stupider.  Reavers don't violate fundamental biochemistry, if not thermodynamics itself.

The idea that the Reavers could work as a society while being pharmacologically driven to profound self-destructive and antisocial behavior is a bit of a reach, but I'm fine with some details being left out, like they could smell their own or something.  The film is amazing; like with Star Trek before it, the movie proved far better than the series.

No way.
Bare in mind the movie rushed out all the best plot points that were going to be used in the series too.

That's right.  So instead of teasing them to the point that I didn't care, they wrapped 'em up in a nice, straightforward, higher-budgeted package that also included a phenomenal performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor, and if he hadn't available to do guest spots on Firefly, we'd all have lost something important, as a culture, indeed, as aspecies.  A+

that also included a phenomenal performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor,

Excellent actor that for some reason still seems to stay below the radar.  Never turns in a poor performance.

+1

Are the Reivers  sapient? How do they manage to pilot spacecraft? How do they replenish numbers such that thry can throw men away? It's insane. Also what the fuck is it with Whedon and 17 year old girls?

The casting is the only decent thing in the movie.

Why do people live on shitty rocks in Victorian clothes and raise cattle when there are biogels that can instantly heal huge gashes in a woman's back?  Why is the Alliance a union of the Chinese and Americans beyond Weyland-Yutani references? Why are robotics so primitive when space travel is so advanced? Why is it so hard to send a video across space when Fillion can flirt with Baccarin instantly across the galaxy? Why are the same people who shat on Prometheus defending this?

I shat on neither and liked both.

Probably because people can't spell his name.

[CountDeMoney]

Don't be raciss.  He's either under "C" or "E" in the Rolodex. 


Anyway, best trailer released for "Man of Steel" yet--

Maybe when you're older, sweetie.
