Re: How would humanity react if Mermaids were real?

Its hard to say something isn't sentient when it can build a spear and hunts in coordinated groups.

Re: Mammal Evolution

Basically the reason they didn't go back to gills is they didn't NEED to. Adaptation comes out of necessity, and marine mammals get by quite successfully holding their breath and surfacing when they need to. Genes aren't an on/off switch, and there hasn't been the time or the necessity for mammals t...

How would humanity react if Mermaids were real?

So many of you have seen the 'Mermaids' documentaries on Discovery/Animal planet. Its a FICTIONAL presentation of scientists discovering evidence for actual mermaids living in the world today. They don't look human, but appear to be tool-using marine mammals diverged from humans millions of years ag...

Re: Stark Trek Into Darkness *SPOILERS*

One thing I think is a bit funny is that now in Alt-Trek Khan's arch-enemy is most likely Spock, not Kirk. To Khan Kirk was jut an annoyance, Spock is the one who ruined his plan, destroyed his ship, and beat him senseless before locking him back up.

I liked that Tony was starting to figure it out from the beginning. 'Muslim iconography, south American tactics, and he talks like a Baptist preacher'.

Re: Defiance Premiere

I liked the parallels tonight between alien cultures and earth's various 'respect our cultures' groups, to the point of them even doing anti-vaccination aliens. The mob boss is pretty dark, I'm starting to like him.

Re: Defiance Premiere

I enjoyed Defiance enough to give it a second look. The last 2 minutes and the reveal of who the 'evil mastermind' is pissed me off, though. Really? Of all the things that was the one that didn't sit well? It was filled with cliches like that. I readily admit that it was. Hell, the 'criminal turned...

Re: Bringing back the Wooly Mammoth

If you can synthesize wooly mammoth DNA in varying combination you can start to use that to inseminate elephants and/or breed more true mammoths. I've been following the 'clone the mammoth' story ever since I was ten, and I've told my fiancé that the day after they announce that its been born I will...

I think a fun campaign would be where the Coalition, NGR, Geofront, the New Navy, and whatever is left of Japan started exchanging information and coordinating attacks.

And the angels are pretty much one trick ponies. Daleks and Cybermen have more potential even if they're not used very well.
The thing with the robe looked like a Sycorax to me.

I think its a bit unfair to call the Necrons 'Yuuzhan Vong Ripoffs' given they were created about five years before vector prime.
