The problem with watching Dennis Haysbert in The Thirteenth Floor more as background noise than anything else is that I keep expecting him to offer me car insurance.

Also, dear Fedex, if you don't scan my netbook onto a truck by ten in the morning, I'll drive down myself to pick it up, don't think I won't.

Morals without God: An interesting essay about how, hey, atheists can have morals, too.

The Case Of The Unlikeable Heroine: The last paranormal romance I read had a heroine I couldn't stand, mostly for being profoundly stupid and possibly stricken with amnesia at some point. The one in the book I just started is miles better, and I'm only four pages in.

OH NOES THE WIMMIN AND GAYZ ARE RUINING MY SYFY!1!! Who wants to read a massive pile of misogynistic homophobic fail? C'mon, it's Tuesday morning, you know you're drunk enough already.

That article was actually stupid enough to jog me out of lurkerdom.

*goes back to watching Doctor Who and contemplating how she and her vagina can take down another genre*

Wheadon has a Mangina?? K.....*backs away slowly from the crazy*

Seriously, I think there are some instances of SyFy getting ruined, but none of the ones he's talking about - lets talk about the rumors of a cooking show (it had better be tribbles they're cooking, that's all i'm saying) or a game show...these are the things that are going to ruin SyFy - not Starbuck being recast as an all around ass kicking woman.

Oh wow, that article made me want to punch the author in the face from the first line. That's got to be a record.

Science fiction is a very male form of fiction. Considerably more men than women are interested in reading and watching science fiction. This is no surprise.

This is where I concluded that the author is a mysogynistic idiot who doesn't bother to check his assumptions. I think that's a new record.

Article in 30 Seconds: Science fiction should consist of a one-dimensional Manly Man in space doing Manly Things. This will be very inspiring for the next generation of Manly Men who cannot possibly be allowed to grow up liking personality and character interaction along with their science fiction plots. If they watch things like that, they might catch THE GAY. OHNOEZ.

Oh my god, I couldn't even get past more than a page of that utter fail. Was this guy for real? Seriously?

I would expect him to switch to a fake Cuban accent and go, "I say fuck you, Jobu, I do it myself."

I love the little dig in there at the slashers - gotta cover all your bases, after all! (Never mind that all your base are belong to us wimminfolk already.)

Having seen The Thirteenth Floor several times, I'm always sort of depressed by AllState commericals.

OH LOL I cannopt believe we as a culture are still banging on about the THERE'S NO MORALITY WITHOUT GOD thing. A while back I was reading some shit by Rousseau and a lot of it was all SEE, THIS IS HOW ATHEISTS CAN HAVE ETHICS WITHOUT GOD, and like two hundred years later people are still frothing at the mouth about atheists killing everyone since they have no morals. ENDLESS, EPIC, CENTURIES-LONG FACEPALM IS ENDLESS.

Ugh, I am also never drunk enough for MRAs. Pass the beer, it's happy hour.

Ah, so if you get even the slightest taint of girliness in your manly sci-fi, it is no longer manly. *takes notes* You know, for something so predicated on being strong and macho, this "manliness" concept is about as delicate as tissue paper.

But. But. You GUYS. Think of all the little white boys who will never be inspired to invent things by watching this interesting, tightly plotted, well-characterized CRAPOLA.

I hope we're happy. We're making baby Einstein cry.

Oh and I just had to share this little freaking chestnut. The passage is preceded by the description of a Starbuck and President Roslin-centric scene in BSG.

We all know that in the current cultural climate, such a scene is verboten. Females are not being presented in science-fiction in a way that is equal to the way men once were. They are being show-cased as the officer class, and are monopolizing the hero roles. No male viewer can watch this and take it seriously. It would be like asking black people to watch shows in which all the villains were black, and all pardonable outrages were committed solely against blacks.

This rubbish is impacting on men’s lives and causing huge harm to their welfare, and you women who refuse to even acknowledge this, and go out of your way to bury it under a storm of emotionalism identify yourselves as unbelievably vapid, supremely self-serving or downright malicious. This rubbish has got to stop.

Like making black dudes watch shows where people like them occupy all the crap roles. RIGHT.
