Pretty much the most central element of the story. The Seeds, Lilith and Adam, the progenitor of Humans and Angels, are certainly based upon the monoliths from Arthur C. Clarke's books. In Evangelion, the Seeds were created by the First Ancestral Race to spread life throughout the universe. In ...

Speaking of Silent Hill, I find myself to be on a sudden and inexplicable horror game kick. It's never really been my genre, but recently, I've been playing: System Shock 2 . I've been meaning to get into it for a while, but it took a lot of fiddling with third-party assists to get it to...

Well, right off the bat, I think that's the wrong way to go. Being too pushy can, in the worst case, even incline people against liking something.

No, Applejack didn't have cake.

Also, I think Pinkie of all ponies would be able to identify with others having poor impulse-control and forgive deeds stemming from it.

Is it me or does the remake version of the song go "feel the best thing I could do is end it all and live forever?" I mean, it sounds somewhat ambiguous in the original version, but here, the word sound definitely like "live" to me. I quite like the re-recording. I think the inst...

We knew she was bullied as a filly for being a weak flier last season, hence how RD ended up in a race with the bullies where she did her first sonic rainboom. Nothing new here. That scene was trivial compared to how it was handled in this episode. It showed that bullying wasn't just something ...

I don't see how her issue in this episode was remotely the same as previous things she's overcome. I also don't see how that entire history of bullying didn't give her more depth.

Um, Korra's banter doesn't work?? Whaaaat? The second episode had a ton of great lines. I was going to list some of them here, but that seems utterly pointless since there was something every five minutes I could make note of. (Also, you do realize that Bolin intentionally tried to make ...

I'm not sure I can abide even listening to a dubstep version of one of my favorite songs.

Um, how so? What's suppposed to be wrong with them? The trailer for Fellowship, for one, is amazing.

I'm finally, finally getting the chance to play Mass Effect. The story is interesting and I'm getting used to the combat system, but the amount of walking and talking I have to do really is tedious. And all the infamous nitpicks this game has are quite noticeable indeed.

The use of the Red Dwarf theme was really effective somehow, and I quite liked the depiction of Sachiel as a confused douchebag. Wish there had been more of him.

I don't see how film is particularly more manipulative or deceitful than any form of fiction. It doesn't matter whether you're being taken in by camera angles or rhetorical strategies.

I just don't think going "Hah hah, this is SO not real!" works when watching something like Schindler's List.

Except, of course, when they're not, such as in the case of stories based on real life.

Okay, Welcome to the NHK has some obvious shout-outs, but what about this girl in the opening.

Isn't she wearing an Eva school uniform?
