You can have keyfobs and retina scanners and such, but the wise guy in the cafe will just nail you to a chair (through your kneecaps), and hook the nails to a car battery.
Firefly is no Firefly. I really liked it when I first saw it. I could understand people who loved it.
But River got super powers and ruined it, the movie was crap, and in the end, it's just some space cowboys, a hooker, and the played-out psychic/crazy super girl thing that Joss always does.
I can't go back and rewatch it. I've tried. River Tam ruins it. The way the group fears Reavers becomes a tad ridiculous, too, after we learn that they're just really angry people.
The plot was about as cohesive as Andromeda, and relied too much on random backstory tidbits and hidden "clues" to keep people interested. Reavers? A big war? Some crazy group controlling things? OMG that box in the background has that blue sun logo!
Of course, this could have all been handled much better if they had a second season, or at least a real 1st season. I don't take points off for it, I'm just noting that it sucks that the "Verse" was left in such a state, and it makes it so much harder to rewatch.
Fringe takes that crap to an extreme, and forces crap like "the Pattern" and "hidden" clues down your throat while providing no real substance.
X-Files gets the balance right (up until the end, at least, and there is no second movie) and is able to go back and forth between isolated episodes and episodes that advance the main plot, while keeping the little clues and such at a good level.
Unlike Fringe, about every X-Files case is approached from an angle of "what is going on here?", and there is always the non-supernatural explanation. Fringe just assumes every case is supernatural, has to do with the Pattern, and any explanations are just Walter Bishop saying "Oh yes, I once created a man-duck hybrid who quacked from his anus. It was quite simple. Do we have any root beer?" And how the hell does Walter Bishop get so familiar with computers in a matter of hours after having been locked up for decades? Fringe also has super retarded giant floating text.
The Terminator movies get it right, too. The first episode of Firefly (the one starting out with the end of the war) seems to be heavily inspired by the war scenes in the Terminator movies.
The Sarah Connor chronicles simply sucks and is raping the plot, much as Terminator 3 did.
Dollhouse? Really? Really?
The point is, these sci-fi shows suck. In the case of Firefly, you could make the argument that Fox helped make it suck.
Fox has a history of doing this with shows that aren't instant mega-hits, despite how good they are. Arrested Development, Futurama, and Andy Richter Controls the Universe are a few of my "Why, Fox, WHY!?" shows.
Watchmen sucks. There are a few fans on the internet. They did their damnedest to hype this thing up because they have nothing better to do. They claimed the movie would be great.
All indications point to it sucking hard, while making you watch unnecessarily long slow-mo, sex, and blue-sausage-for-no-reason scenes. All indications point to it being too damn long, too damn emo. If you're wondering, yes, this is an accurate representation of the source material, though some stuff was obviously trimmed.
The movie sucks for two reasons. The source material, let's face it, is trash. The director is also trash. No amount of internet hype from the fans will save it.
If you consider Watchmen an important comic, you're a tool. If you're handing out awards for the most "important" comic, that of course goes to Superman. Comic book nerds will always bitch about their favorites, they'll always be trying to reconcile the horrible writing and multiple universes, and they'll always be a bunch of rabble. Casual comic fans (the kind who no longer read comics because it's impossible to keep up with the multiple universes and other shit, the kind who see the trailer for Wolverine and wonder why he has bone claws, not knowing it was sloppily retconned in later) will see Watchmen as an emo piece of shit and will warn others to stay far away. They will compare it to more "traditional" comic book movies such as Spiderman, Superman, and X-Men. As such, Watchmen will be a failure at the box office.
This statement is a fact. A fact is a statement that can proven or disproven (i.e., not opinion).
Evolution is not a fact. "Evolution is not a fact" is a fact.
The theory of evolution is a theory comprised of various statements, hypotheses, etc. It is not a single fact.
Moreover, it has not been proven (and likely never will be) to be the direct cause behind what we observe, and thus will remain a theory.
Just as with gravity, we can observe and measure actual occurrences, and we can develop theories to explain them. Further observation falling (lol) in line with the theory does not make it a singular fact, nor would we use the term "fact".
Millhouse is not a meme. "Millhouse is not a meme" is a meme. ""Millhouse is not a meme" is a meme" is also a meme.
"The length of the longest side of any triangle that can be described as being composed of inner angles of degrees A, B, and C, with exactly one of said angles measuring exactly 90 degrees, shall be equivalent in measure to the square root of the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides of said triangle."

Words have meanings. The difference between laws and theories and axioms and such are very important in math and science. The poster made a deliberate effort and called a theory a law in order to shit on anyone who would question it.
I just want to know if eggs are good for me, or bad for me!
(Not a serious question, don't bother answering with shit you just looked up on wikipedia. Eggs are and always have been delicious and healthy. Nom nom nom.)

You forgot about the electricity.
Get ol' Billy Clinton on an exercise bike/treadmill/hamster wheel and hook that shit up to a generator.
You sure do - the agenda of being an ass.
What's next? A Pythagorean "law" that states:
"The length of the longest side of any triangle that can be described as being composed of inner angles of degrees A, B, and C, with exactly one of said angles measuring exactly 90 degrees, shall be equivalent in measure to the square root of the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides of said triangle."

By calling it a fact, you have exposed your agenda.
Go directly to jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
(This is not to say I think evolution is bogus - on the contrary, I think it's the best theory we've got, and it is likely correct.)
