Who Will Watch the Watchmen...

Watchmen is going to appear in the theatres as scheduled. Fox and Warner Brothers made a deal.

That's a relief! I look forward to it.

Birds...

A news item on Yahoo! started, 'Canada Geese and other birds pose a serious threat to aircraft, acting "like shrapnel to the engine" when sucked into the blades.'

Seems to me they have it backwards. Seems to me the plane poses a serious threat to the birds. They aren't going to get out of that alive.

Writer's Block: Humans and Cylons

Well - that question has been the basis of many a science fiction story, and not just Battlestar Galactica - add to the list Star Trek in various incarnations, Terminator, AI, The Iron Giant (my favourite) and so on - in a probably infinite list. It's akin to the likes of E.T. and King Kong.

Obviously, there is no point where any individual, or culture, decides that a creature is sentient. Other races, species, alien life and non-life - there's no rule, and even when we make rules, there's no way to enforce their acceptance. Give me the day when people stop dropping bombs on other people and I'll answer a question about 'feelings and rights'.

Boil the question down to its deepest philosophical point. I think the value in our individual lives lies in treating everything as worthy of reference, living nor not. Dispense with definitions. The criteria should not be whether we can communicate with something, or relate to it, or whether it is useful to us to destroy it, or whether we love it or fear it. The criterion should be the universal validity of all existence, living or not, sentient or not.

This is why I call myself a pantheist.

I am not a number...

From monsieureden:

Your Spiritual Number is Five

You bring adventure and change to people's lives. You are willing to challenge your friends and push them to grow. Right now, your life is about figuring out where to direct your energy. If you're not careful, you can become too unreliable or flighty. You need the perfect project. You live a free form life - which allows you to be very innovative and a great problem solver. Rules, schedules, and structure practically destroy you. You have to do things your own way.

What's Your Spiritual Number?

I don't like rules or structure, except in the fashioning of novels and stories.

So what is my perfect project?

Torchwood question...

Does anyone know where I can find icons based on "Exit Wounds"? Specifically, I want something from the last scene.
