"Because Science is a 'theory' - not testable, observable, nor repeatable."

Ugh. She basically defines the whole god damn point of science, and then says it isn't science. In order for a theory to be accepted, it has to be tested, repeated, and observed to the point of redundancy. And when an observation refutes or challenges a theory, the theory must either be changed or discarded (after ample testing of the observation which challenged the theory in the first place.) I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but fuck. Blind faith (i.e willful ignorance, i.e stupidity) is quite possibly the largest detriment to the human race.

I love the book too. And it's because of this that I strongly dislike the direction Jackson went. There's no consistency between these movies and the ones Jackson made a decade ago. I was worried back when this was just going to be two movies, because I didn't see how the Hobbit could possibly be more than one movie (even if it said movie was closing in on 3 hours). Now we have 3 movies, each jammed to the brim full of shit that completely deviates from the original story line (of course this is only an assumption for the next two, but based on the trailer...)

If your sister loves them, great. But in know way does that justify what Jackson did, at least in my mind.

I can moderate as well, if needed.

I hardly think it's contrived. For 6 years they have all been under the protective eye of some of the most powerful wizards in Britain (and arguably the world.) Then all of that gets pulled out from under them. 3 17 year olds trying to defeat Voldemort with no outside help, no definitive plan, and no hope.

I'm getting a "file not found" when trying to play

Currently -
Star Trek TNG
Buffy

Not a very extensive list, but school has been particularly demanding this term. I'd like to start getting into Classic Who, but I'm not really sure where to start.

I was watching SHIELD as well, but I completely lost interest after the 2nd or 3rd episode.
