Six Things I'm Thankful For In Science Fiction

The great shows sometimes make me cry, as happened with Tuesday's 90-minute "Sons of Anarchy." I'm going to try to write something longer about "SOA" soon, but suffice to say, you need to be watching this show. I'll put my praise in these terms: Tuesday's "Sons of Anarchy" outing is as good as...
