the ending could have been better but when you step outside of the internet jewel/poo poo dichotomy you realize it was still a drat good show overall

also good on you for realizing from the start that the show will have a religious/spiritual theme rather than angrily posting in the middle of a later season how you've just been betrayed by the fact that not every character is a militant atheist like yourself

the original bsg was a thinly veiled pastiche of mormon mythology, this one is better than that but it's not star trek

don't Mormons or someone literally believe that the Japanese are the lost tribe of humanity because Japanese sounds kinda like Hebrew (lol)

No, Mormons believe that the native inhabitants of the Americas are the decendents of a 13th Tribe of Israel that sailed across the ocean in ancient times. Jesus visited the tribe at one point but later there was a large rebellion by people who rejected Jesus's teachings. Near the end, a soldier named Moroni buried golden plates that contained the lost teachings of Jesus in the New World and he was eventually slain with the last of the righteous. After winning the war, God cursed the victors by turning their skins red which is where Native Americans come from. Moroni became an angel after dying and became the protector of the golden plate, eventually revealing himself to Joseph Smith and telling him where to find the plates.

The Japanese lost tribe theory is an newer one from the late 19th century, it supposes that there are uncanny parallels between the Bible and Japanese myths, but that could only be a similarity in most myths. Here are some links.

Watched 'Iron Sky' tonight, after the mediocre reviews I'd seen I thought it would be terrible, but it wasn't half-bad. FX were pretty good for the shoestring budget, and everyone can hate on nazis with no bad feelings.

I feel really bad for finding the nazi schoolteacher in her flight cap absolutley adorable; I don't think you're allowed to dig 'that side's vintage stuff :o:

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

Hardware - 90s UK cyberpunk about a mean robot who ends up as a part of a sculpture.

Brainsongs - Christopher Walken records brains

Tarkovski - Stalker, Solaris. So pretty, so slow :allears:

Original UK 1980s Day of the Triffids.

Freaks - not exactly sci-fi but it's about circus freaks and it's awesome

not obscure but every drat sci-fi movie by David Cronenberg: Scanners, Rabid, Videodrome (Debbie Harry :swoon:), The Fly, Dead Zone etc etc.
