I desperately hope Star Trek Discovery fixes this. It happened because of Battlestar Galactica — which worked for the story BSG was trying to tell, but ruined a lot of other shows that were trying to ape it. (Stargate: Universe, for example.) Good for BSG, they innovated, but the pendulum swung way too far as a…

Nate Silver is not “afraid of being wrong,” for goodness’s sake. Nate Silver has an election model. He feeds it all the polls, and the model spits out probabilities.

I’m going to hire a SuperPAC to run ads on behalf of sticking to sports to make sure sticking to sports wins.

To be fair, I was on that thread (it was on TrekMovie.com), and virtually everyone on the site at the time supported BobOrci (his username). It was the press that went after him for it.

Relevant footnote: the ABC News poll was conducted before the email story broke. It doesn’t have anything to do with this story. We won’t know until Monday — at the earliest — how this story is impacting the polls.

Gizmodo passed away this week after a long battle with a Gawker infection. In lieu of flowers, its shambling zombie corpse asks that you send dumb gossip.

Please remind me whether the following is canon, or just my headcanon, because I have forgotten:

I nearly did the very same thing.

“A lot of people prefer the sequel, Rebel Strike”

I doubt it. We’ve mostly given up. The core arguments in Obergefell apply equally to polygamists, and we lost Obergefell decisively. We know now that Roe will be overturned before Obergefell. (And Roe ain’t getting overturned anytime soon, folks.)

“Here’s to you, Star Trek. And here’s to the next 50 years.”

This has been a recurring complaint since Fred Freiberger took over the show in Season 3 of TOS.

A note: this is pretty much just books published since the year 2000.

If you (or anyone else on this thread) wants to chat with Trek authors, they pretty much all hang out all the time on the TrekBBS.com Trek Literature boards.

Depends which season of Enterprise. Season 1 and 2, sure. Seasons 3 and 4, Voyager can’t touch.

But an joke? It is.

If this is what we can expect under the New Regime, I for one welcome our new Univision overlords.

This is what Kids In Mind does: fanatically detailed descriptions of every even slightly off-color moment in every movie they can get their hands on. It’s a useful tool if you’re a parent.

The fact that Trump was as successful as he was means America was already broken. Trump merely exploited a deep division that most of us, save Charles Murray, hadn’t really recognized yet.

Oddly, my experience is the opposite. I live in a pretty blue part of a pretty blue state, but I know quite a number of women who are very upset about the whole thing, boycotting Target, and so on and so forth. I know some men who are opposed, but none who feel so strongly about it.
