He has this thing he rhetorically asks young earth creationists: "what is more impressive? a being that uses their omnipotence to build a clock, or one that creates a world where the clock builds itself?"

When you put it that way, young earth creationists really kind of sell god short, don't they.
Nothing an omnipotent being does can really be seen as impressive though

Once you get to omnipotence anything that comes after doesn't deserve any more than a shrug, really.

is anyone watching Wayward Pines who's read the novels? the reviews sound good so far, but I wonder how much they changed.

actual Twin Peaks is coming back
there is no reason to watch an M. Night Shaymalan rip-off of Twin Peaks unless you want to get stoned and MST3k your way through it with a couple buddies

Last night's Game of Thrones threw out a battle sequence I doubt anbody expected to see, especially at that scale.

Highlight for spoilers below:

http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/...8310372528.gif



The moment when Jon Snow realizes what Longclaw can do was fantastic. valyrian steel, mutherfuckers!!

Also, I wonder how many people realized the reveal at the end as Jon rowed away towards the ships. I'm assuming that was the Night's King. And it appears that he controls the resurection of the dead

That was a great action scene. So chaotic but still able to be followed.

Silicon Valley was also great as it has been all season. Veep was pretty good. Some weird plotting but whatever it's always funny. Really liking Richard these days.

And you shouldn't call people bitches. Unless it's like biiiiiitch.

In the books that part was a lot cooler. And it happened after tyrion dies not before

thanks to recommendation I started "Black Mirror". I was told the pilot is pretty bad and skippable, but since I'm stubborn I watched the first episode, too.
very intriguing plot for me (about current media platform shitfests) - I loved all 43 minutes of it.

might become my new favorite tv thing.

no idea yet, haven't made it past the first one, apparently each episode is a stand-alone with unconnected plot, cast etc.

I guess you'll also enjoy the remaining episodes. Fifteen Million Merits, The Entire History of You and The Waldo Moment were great.
Btw, thanks for reminding me of this series. The current 3rd season is news to me.

i just thought the first one went for the shock factor and i thought it was a little lame. Thankfully the rest aren't like this. They're supposedly making or trying to make the third one into a full feature, The Entire History of You. Good pick because that one touches on things i think we can easily all relate to...

also, Jodie Whittaker is in this one and i have an unexplainable crush on her since the first Broadchurch.

Three episodes in, I find this show amazing. It manages dead-on realism against straight-faced dark humor within extreme and often surreal scenarios. Great satire reminiscent of Chris Morris works such as Jam and Brass Eye.

Personally, I loved the first episode. I didn't find it gratuitous, as the extremes it is taken to serves the fairly direct purpose of parodying what the episode is also portraying with scary accuracy in most other respects.

right? also I did not see it coming that the purpose of the threat would turn into... well, no spoilers!

Up to episode 4 of "Sense8" on Netflix.

it's like 'Cloud Atlas' meets 'Heroes' meets 'Crash.'

So far it's interesting and entertaining, but I fear a Wachowskis style letdown when the plot doesn't live up to the premise
