    They've mentioned in other spinoff material that they fixed the Bifrost with the Tesseract which Thor retrieved at the end of The Avengers. So my guess is that the Dark Elves are camping on the Rainbow Bridge and Thor needs to use one of Loki's secret exists to hop to another realm.

    I saw the Keaton Batman film in theaters, when I was three years old - we were fans of Adam West Batman from TV at the time and assumed it was similar. No idea how dark it actually was. I wasn't traumatized or anything, in fact, really imprinted with it. It helped that if you look past how dark it was...Burton

    ....I didn't notice that; I question why you'd put the Klingons, Sangheli, & Co. under a list of "easy to defeat".

    The Sontarans aren't outright "evil" the way the Daleks or Cybermen are: they just really like being soldiers. But they do have concepts like "honor" and such, even if the don't always follow them.

    This list was of races who wouldn't be killed ridiculously easily...the Kzinti are idiots. Their battle doctrine is a warped version of the Predators taken to an extreme: they refuse to fight any race unless it is equal to or more powerful than them, to provide an honorable challenge.

    The Sangheli aren't obsessed with close-range combat. They do prefer it more than humans, but not so much as the idiotic Brutes.

    That would actually be a pretty fun way to end the film series, if they're not going to make any more X-Men movies.

    This isn't funny...I would imagine they were used in medical experiments as control groups during the Holocaust. Trying to find out what makes humans genetically different from apes, etc.

    The warped, tragic irony of the Holocaust is that the Nazis had no idea how DNA actually worked (they got some of the basics of

    I *suspect* that Picard and Kirk knew they couldn't create a time paradox, but even so, that falls apart rather quickly - it's a paradox in and of itself to confront him at the super-weapon, so why not a full week ago?

    At the very least, Doctor Who establishes that the TARDIS is not only a time machine but a space machine, so because it can go "anywhere, anywhen" it isn't simply going to "London 40 years from now" but also "to a fixed point in space 40 years from now where Earth *will* be". This of course bars episodes where "haha

    Terminator's naked time travel rule seems to be a basic way to explain "why not take futuristic weapons back with you?" - Kyle Reese explains this at one point.

    Even Quantum Leap played around with this, as they later discovered that he can leap back into the Civil War era provided that it's into one of his direct ancestors.

    These could indeed be used for Trek spinoff book cover art - for books set later in the timeline covering the time period between Starfleet Academy and the time of the original 5 year mission.

    No. The later seasons of BSG threw around the world "Cylons" almost as a synonym for "Robot" when its a brand name invented by a company on Caprica.

    Kind of short-changes the Geth here: they didn't become pawns of the Reapers - a small "heretic" fringe did - their version of terrorists.

    Wasn't that on-screen?

    It took 19 Sardaukar to take him down. NINETEEN. And each Sardaukar is a one-man army easily worth a dozen regular soldiers.

    Even within the books the Wookiees later take pride in the fact that it literally took dropping a moon on a planet to kill Chewbacca. He was trapped on the planet trying to save refugees when the Vong aliens used their gravity-mine weapon to knock a moon out of orbit to send it crashing into the planet (a common WMD

    She died on-screen. There was a Klingon death-howl to mark her entry to Sto-Vo-Kor and everything.

    Some say she sounded like a cow moaning in heat.
