I actually sorta enjoyed it.. The "My momma left me on the side of the road" scene was painful, but the rest was fun enough to get me back for another episode. I've got enough gritty TV in my rotation and with most sitcoms being unwatchable I like shows like this for the lighter side.
As guilty pleasures go though, I much prefer ABC's Revenge, rich attractive people being evil and getting screwed over, its like a soap opera without all the weird pauses.

Look, smurfing into someones house is never cool. Im glad the cops came and smurfed him. I just worry that he goes to smurf and gets smurfed in the smurf
Amnesia Virus would be a great plot point/episode, but later in a run, when relationships and rivalries are better established, and with a real outside threat.
Lets say, for example, we see Malcolm and the Doc start sparking a bit, with hubby showing jealousy after being left out of their sciency things. Maybe some more tension between Taylor/Wash about the goal of the military, with the rise of a anti Taylor faction inside Terra Nova as well. Now, combine that with an outside threat (say a water shortage or dino threat) where people have to work together while not quite remembering their interpersonal relationships and you might have a plot.
as it is, we hardly care about who these people are at this point, so why would them forgetting who they are bother us.

I like the character of River Song, and the concept behind her inclusion in the story, but I find that the relationships she has with other people haven't been consistent with the overall story as its been revealed and sometimes, like last week, she seems tacked on to another story.
I'm hoping that we get less of her next year.

Oh, and the River bit at the end was clumsy and unneeded. BOOO
I demand more Craig. I don't know if its the actors, or Moffat, but the male companions are almost always more entertaining then the women. Honestly, I would pay for a PPV episode where Craig, Rory and the Doctor go drinking
I can't get into P&R. And thats coming from a guy who has been a fan of Mike Schur since the early days of firejoemorgan.com
To be fair, going back as far as the bible (and probably unwritten stories before that) there have always been apocalyptic themes in literature. I think its a pretty fair mix of "The Other" being the bad guy and us being the bad guy these days, even if the environmental message is being laid on a bit thick. That said, there is a reason that it has replaced nuclear annihilation as the disaster of choice.
Any movies or shows about resettlement or colonizing always follow a similar format, in which the scientist/colonist/pilgrims eventually are at odds with the military types, and I expect that to happen again. While Avatar took it to extremes, we saw the same thing in Falling Skies, BSG, Firefly.
I'm just going to have a hard time putting aside the completely bullshit premise and enjoying this show. While Im usually the first person to tell people to ignore the science and just enjoy the show, the idea of mass resettlement in the distant past just seems horribly conceived.

I had a friend in college who was both witty and attractive, and definitely into women, but had no relationships and very few hookups. He eventually confessed, quite drunkenly, to a lack of (to borrow a term) confidence. While I can not vouch the veracity of his concerns, I believe that the lack of size, combined with his above average height, probably caused him to skip out on a number of sexual interactions. He wound up marrying a girl who was very uninterested in sex, and while I dont see the appeal of that arrangement I think they are both happy.
At the same time, as someone who spent a lot of time in locker rooms in hs and college, it is guys that are far crueler

Community is so much better at geek humor then BBT it's not even funny.
to quote my friend's tweet "Big Bang Theory, what dumb writers think smart people are really like"
I wonder how things like same sex schools, or uniforms, work when seen at a demographic level? would poorer students benefit from them where richer kids don't?
I ask because I read a report many years ago (and I can't find it now) that said that poor black males students tended to do better in classrooms that had a black male teacher, and wonder if that would create a reason for same sex schools to perform better (more male teachers to match up with specific students)

you say that in a very ominous way, so I'm guess that my response to reading your answer shouldn't have been "cool."
Jokes aside though, I wonder how much our impression of something changes the way we perceive images. For example, take a speech by President Obama, would we expect to see a different image from the mind of a racist compared to an african american? or a liberal vs a conservative? Or a woman in tight clothing, would a male viewer be more likely to exaggerate the breast then a woman?
would be expect the viewers feelings toward the subject to change which features are noticed? Would we accentuate those features we find most interesting/appealing?

I'm a little shocked, anyone reading my brain during a watching of the Pink Panther remake would have seen a steaming pile of poo.
This guy is on it.
I say this out of intellectual curiosity, rather then from a place of negativity, but does it really matter?
As in, if Einstein was wrong, and there is something faster then light, does that fundamentally change anything we know about the universe (other then the obvious)? Does it change how we view the big bang? the movement of galaxies/planets? distances?
