The Prolem with the Article
Erica S. Perl, did a stack of comics fall on you as a small child? Why the arrogance in this article? Comics, as have been alluded to many times by other posters, have started many great readers. They have built a multitude of stupendous vocabularies. Yes, I am trying to show mine off. Getting down to brass tacks, the attitude presented ...

NBCU will never devalue their broadcast network
Hulu is there because it is a reactive response to YouTube. It is not a revolutionary broadband broadcast. NBCU and News Corp may leverage their catalogue to Hulu but their main focus on business is broadcast. Specifically, just look at how NBCU has treated their cable networks purchased on 2004: USA Network, Sci fi Channel, TR!O, Newsworld ...

Re: Like Asimov
Funny, this is the second time the Foundation novels have come up this election. We got a note from a Trailhead reader shortly after the New Hampshire primary, when news of Hillary Clinton's teary eyes were making the rounds, pointing out that a prime minister to the emperor in one of the Asimov novels, having been exposed as a robot, held a press ...

Re: Tom Cruise-Homophobia
By your words to Tom, you just proved that your sexuality is a choice and not that you were born gay.

Scientology: is that like a Sci-Fi version of D&D
Seriously folks, how can any logical person believe the crap that is scientology? The whole thing reads exactly like the science fiction novel it came from. I think Mr. Hubbard (the dead one and his son) must be laughing his ass off at the number of people he's managed to suck into his huge experiment. Good grief. People will believe anything ...

Who cried when Jim Brown died?
Tom Hanks in “Sleepless in Seattle” made fun of chicks who weep during some chick flick but laugh or make fun of films men like as he mockingly became misted eyed at remembering the scene in which Jim Brown died at the end of “The Dirty Dozen”. Sci-fi: you either get it or you don’t. And if you don’t, then any melodramatic scene in a sci-fi film ...

Re: boys have a version
Chuckle. I read Ender's Game as a girl in 10th grade and have been passing it on to men and women alike ever since. I wasn't aware that it was a ''boy's book'', even if it does have a predominance of male characters.It's just a fascinating work of fiction that resonates with people, particularly people who grew up ''gifted''.It's a bit ...

Cattle Disease
Why has the U.S.D.A. not recalled the beef in the US? Bovine disease affects 70% of our cattle, yet, nothing is done to stop it from reaching consumers. Some symptoms are Alzheimer's in adults and ADD in children. I guess a pill will be needed to treat the symptoms instead of the cause. The Egyptian medicine scrolls have been revived by the ...

So meteorologist actually say...
This seems to be the most random idiotic article that I have read in a very long time. So what was it a slow news week. Did you go out last night and was so wasted that you just said hey 8yr old nephew can you write me an article. So because meteorologist typically measure temperatures in an open breezy area, the temperatures that the troops ...

Farscape got it right too...
Please forgive me, but I just had to throw this in. The Science Fiction series Farscape got it right too. John Crichton in one of the many episodes in which he attempts to escape from the questionably evil and, oddly enough, sexy Scorpius, flees from someone, an alien (who happened to be played by Ben Browder's wife in real life), who is ...
