I'd also recommend starting with the first series of 2005, but it's also possible to start with the fifth series (2010, the first one featuring Matt Smith as The Doctor), because it's kind of a new beginning and a redefinition of the show, and, if I remember correctly, most things you need to know are explained again.

a well-written rundown on how bad the pilot was.

I really think it goes to the heart of their mentality (or lack there of if you will) that they thought this was something to be proud of. I mean really what more do you need to know about them as people and a group. Let me ask you this Sage what could have they possibly been doing... to warrant being 'run-off'... short of burning bibles or performing abortions what could possibly justify this really pathetic group of people to be so proud of their bullying...

Eh.... I don't think he's really trying to self-promote - so maybe we oughtta hold off on the ban hammer. @ABetterYork: You need to know that you can't post crap that you have uploaded to any hosting site. Remove the offending video or you will be removed from here. The next user may not be so forgiving.

I think the quote at the end tells you all you need to know:

"With no history of mental illness and no predisposition to schizophrenia I was at no long term risk"

OK, here's WHY the Wonder Woman pilot wasn't picked up:

a well written read from someone who saw the pilot.

I recall going to the Museum of the Confederacy (across the street from the WAAAAY worth it D-Day Museum), and in a very discrete corner, they mention that, in the early days of Secession, a number of Freedmen came to the various recruitment offices, asking to join up. In their eyes, they weren't going to let those damn Yankees push them around. The commanding officer of New Orleans very politely stated, "No," and let the matter drop. Which is everything you need to know about slavery being the root cause of the civil war.

You didn't find it because you needed to know that the band is called Los Colorados

It's a dupe, but as a lowly n00b I can't call it.

on the subject of politicians with suspect loyalty: who they working 4?
read my new blog on it:

According to this report the TSA based their entire security model off the one lucky interaction that stopped the supposed '20th terrorist'. Not the failed procedures that let the first 19 through. That tells you everything you need to know.

You need to know what this was all about. The issue being debated was the DC school voucher program. The GOP was voting to restore funds that the Obama administration had stripped from a popular, successful school voucher program.

Now - the Democrats/Obama oppose school vouchers because it takes money out of the public school system and their lockstep unions - and instead gives the power & choice to parents and children. Weiner in particular has opposed school vouchers for years, and his opposition to this bill is second verse, same as the first. He didn't mind using parlimentary tricks, gimmicks, leverage, and skullduggery to strip the funds out of the program. And now he's whining because the GOP is using parlimentary gimmicks to put them back.

Cry me a river.

I am in favor of any program that takes money away from government, and returns it to people. I'm especially in favor of programs that weaken bloated, corrupt, ineffective government shill outfits like the DOE, teacher's unions, and other SEIU outfits. This bill was effectively taking money away from unions, and giving it to parents. That is something I support, and three cheers that the GOP passed the bill over the objections of this slimy little hypocrite.

I'm liking the delimited system. I feel like a movie could be either SFW, NSFW or Graphic. And that tells you exactly everything you need to know about the movie. NSFW means it's probably some bad language and maybe someone hitting himself in the nuts. Graphic would mean it probably contains nudity (not porn) or extreme violence such as news footage of someone getting run over by the police during a political protest.

@NetRunner,
A racialized society in which people get jobs because of their race instead of taking the path everybody else takes is offensive to every thinking individual. Would you rather be born with the body & mind of widely-loved Will Smith or that of funny-looking Paul Giamatti? Everybody would rather be the former, because everybody knows race is a red herring.

Humans are humans. Treat them that way, and leave 20th century thinking behind.


I don't know that "everybody" knows that. Hopefully we've gotten to a point where most people agree they should behave that way, but okay, you're preaching to the choir here.

But then, I guess you don't think you are:

That liberals advocate racist discrimination against Asian-Americans in university admissions because Asian-Americans are too good tells you all you need to know about the current state of racial politics.

Can't say I have the foggiest clue what you're talking about.

It sorta tells me all I need to know about the topics you think need to be approached scientifically. The governor of Ohio appoints an all white cabinet, and Colbert and NetRunner need to be told not to jump to any hasty conclusions.

However, something you heard about some liberals advocating something is all we need to know about the current state of racial politics...

Pfft.. The tide goes in, the tide goes out. That is all you need to know.
