What made you go for a new domain instead of just keeping the one we all know? I've noticed a trend. Many famous sites move but I never understood why.

Fantastic edition of the Continuum, Jon!

"Genesis" always creeped me out just a tiny bit more than "Night Terrors"...it was a wonderful play on the classic thriller/horror equation, with a Star Trek twist.

And I'm glad to know that the Barclay moment scared the ever-loving crap out of someone else.

The basement really did look awesome, although I wouldn't let my kid in there.

Ah, Doctor Who - a geek classic. A fantastic first topic for your first post - which is equally fantastic, by the way. Welcome back to the GwI family.

I'll agree that everyone who's seen the show remembers their first Doctor. Mine was the Seventh Doctor, played by Sylvester McCoy. However, I do remember seeing re-runs of the Sixth Doctor (Colin Baker, one of the more flamboyant Doctors). Of the set, though, I must admit to having a special place in my heart for the Ninth Doctor, played by Christopher Eccleston in the newly reborn series. His flawless delivery of the Doctor as a haunted smartass always struck me as dead on.

Cool stuff. Been a fan for a while. I grew up in Pittsfield so I used to catch the show early on whenever I was back home at random times. But thanks to this website, I can keep up on pasted episodes in my current travels.

The ad is factually correct but emotionally hard to see still. I do not know when watching the video will be less painfull. Going with what Ogre said, people still have a hard time with video of JFK. This is a very hard to think of because it did affect so many lives as did the Tsunami. I myself do still have somewhat of a hard time watching the video.

I think the problem with this video is a lack of representing the correct issues. I do understand that the Tsunami was more massive and destructive, but the reason we associate September 11th as such a horrific event is because of the disgust we feel when a persons actions directly caused the destruction. It was a betrayal of humanity to willingly kill so many innocent people.

Of course you can bring up the issues of global warming and how these natural disasters are in some way our faults. But humans for the most part are very "in the present" beings. We have a tendency to always deal with the now and not associate the current moments with things we could have done to prevent it. Especially since understanding the balance of the eco system is much more complex to the average individual than compared to a "terrorist" causing mayhem.

Happy Birthday a little late but all the same, I wonder if the creators ever though it would become the entity that it is today?

A powerful statement by the World Wildlife Foundation, a relevant statement, a well done statement, but on the whole a visual that is to shocking and emotional for everyone attached. As for the question of when we will be able to show this with out getting that pang in our gut, I would lightly quote about the same amount of time as it took the population to understand and become content with the Kennedy assassination.

Re: Issues Of The Week: Disney Buys Marvel

Chris the Director — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 08:24:29 -0000

Quick thought before I start pretending to be productive at work this morning.

While this was easily the most interesting business news of the day (JP Morgan's downgrade of Shaw Group already had my nether regions a-twitter, but this just put me over the top), I din't think too much of it. The bottom line is Disney wanted something that Marvel had... boys. Otherwise, this seems like a pretty run-of-the mill merger for the world of entertainment.

For starters, Marvel was already a multi-billion-dollar publicly-traded company; not exactly the little comic shop of old. Uncle Stan is a millionaire many times over; because he is a creative genius, yes, but also because he and his compatriots are solid businessmen. That said, Disney is much larger fish, and a traditional media conglomerate; however, we don't have to look far to see what that might mean. National Allied Publications... I mean DC Comics... has been owned by one of the Big Six (Time Warner) since 1969, and while we all have our preferences in the age-old DC vs. Marvel debate, they still manage to produce some outstanding content.

The real difference is more likely to be in volume. One of the biggest drivers of this deal (from Marvel's side), besides an offer that was too good to pass up, was their limited resources. Disney is a $50 billion company, and I expect that those resources will be put to work. This may mean an accelerated schedule for movie production, thought the dates for the next few years are mostly set, and are quickly approaching, so perhaps not. But I'm sure it will mean several new TV series, much like the Iron Man and X-Men fare that have recently debuted. Disney also loves digging out old characters and reviving them, which could be fun.

The big question is, will this new content be any good? Undoubtedly, some of it will not, but isn't that how it's always been? It seems to me that all of these companies throw our favorite characters into lots of projects. Some of them are wonderful, and become favorites, and the rest are quickly forgotten.

As for the public service special, um... http://www.youtube.com/watc...
