I'm an American living in Austria, with a discintly English-sounding name, with no German equivalent. People NEVER forget my name. They constantly misspell it, but they never forget it, simply because it is so strange to them. I, myself, have a very easy time remembering the names of study mates...

If I was too strange for said date or not. I'm guessing there are a lot of people out there that'd consider anyone that could enjoy this kind of movie a psycho. And I can't even say I disagree - I loved the movie, but felt entirely fucked up for enjoying it as much as I did. I'd say all the...

LOL My first plan is to make my sister watch the movie - she sees herself as an art connoisseur and likes to watch artsy movies, but is squeamish as hell. That'll be awesome! Though I'd imagine it would be even more fun to use the movie as a litmus test for girls you're dating - see if they can...

I LOVED the first half of Wall-E. Sadly, it went downhill from there, for me - there's just so much of animated robots running down corridors I'm interested in. Great plot, great "characters", and WAY too much goofy action. Meanwhile, I watched A Clockwork Orange for the first time. I'm fucked...

Really. :wtf:

It is now that some Star Wars fans have managed to get laid. :p I guess it has some similarity to the name "Leah". Which, again, is a pretty simple name, so similarities aren't too surprising. Take the name "Kim", for example. It is: * An English name, short for Kimberly * A Korean name...

You make it sound so dirty.

"Ben" and "Luke" are, firstly, two names among hundreds in the Star Wars universe, and secondly, both one syllable long, and contain no diphthongs. They're among the most simple sounds the human speaking apparatus can create. There are only so many syllables the human speaking apparatus can...

Point taken. But I still think it was a retarded choice to give everyone names like William, Daniel and Anastasia. I hate having to think of Star Wars as an example of how to do Sci-Fi right, but there you are.

The last one would make sense. The first one not really, as they're introducing different versions of names that have come into existence in recorded history - such as "William" and "Liam". For that person, the original series' take was a lot better, where you had all the characters having names...

There must be some kind of way out of here, said the joker to the thief.

Hey, I'm NOT complaining about them speaking English. Like I said, stuff like that falls under suspension of disbelief. It's when they make a civilization supposedly only having marginal connections to ours equivalent to ours to a degree where they've got Bob Dylan songs that I start thinking...

This has been bugging me to no end. Of course, every TV show will be silly in this regard - they're aliens from a galaxy far, far away. Why are they speaking English??? Why is this kid from a galaxy far, far away called "Luke"? Reimaged BSG really made suspension of disbelief hard, though...

Now THAT'S retarded.

The one think that makes me doubt the theory Recoil, Alluveal and myself have subscribed to is "All Along the Watchtower". Where did that come from? At the time, the only logical conclusion for me was that they were picking up a stray transition from Earth. Of course, this also negates BSG...

Regarding this .. SPOILER FOR NEXT EPISODE COMING .. .. .. Apparently, this episode and the next episode are interchangable - they both could be viewed either way, wouldn't make a difference. Which to me suggests that the next episode will be this episode all over again, just focusing on...

I agree - while it's all, of course, just a story .. if you're going to use "Earth", it'd be pretty gimmicky to discard everything about Earth that makes it Earth. I'm also not convinced that the Earth we've seen is our Earth. I'm still suspicious about how they did not show us an orbital shot...

AARGH! Stop that! It's per se. It's Latin. "Se" being the Latin reflexive pronoun, "per" being a Latin preposition meaning "by" or "through", making the meaning of the compound Latin phrase being "by itself". Which, unlike "per say", actually means something, and does not make Chilli cry. End...

That would work, and even make sense, for the young ones. Not really for Tigh, though, with the timing we've been given.

Fun as this show is, is there ANY chance we will discover why everyone needs to return to the island?
