Well I thought it was morally ambiguous: yeah they're doing a street sweep to send the street kids to juvenile hall but....what's the other option? Leave them on the streets to be preyed on by drug dealers, pimps, child snatchers, and who knows else what?

At least Gordon is only harassing the dirty cops.

Who's the Iron Bitch?

If I ever meet the guy who came up with this show, I will either throw him out a window, or down a flight of stairs.

The first wave become a line of crucified corpses running from coast to coast along the 49th parallel, pointed northwards. That will send a message.

This is almost as weird as that time that ScarJo was wearing that ScarJo mask, and then she ripped the mask off, and it kept blinking.

I don't let my sense of morals stand in the way of doing what is Right.

"Io9OSphere"?! You said you were going to name the solar system "Freedom"!

The Meselson-Stahl experiment.

Amazing how the 1950 report considered indigenous Alaskans to be not loyal to the USA "because they don't believe in 'Government' as a concept" rather than "The USA is *already* an occupying force from their perspective, why would they feel deeply attached to a government that mistreats them so much?"

War...war never changes.

In all seriousness: capital ships are expensive, and after many revolutions, the former rebels will use captured ships from the old regime. I mean, most of the "Russian Federation Navy" in the 1990's was old Soviet-built stuff.

It is possible that it is something so small as that the New Republic is visibly using captured Imperial installations and ships, i.e. you see New Republic crews manning an old, repainted Star Destroyer, that kind of thing. The architecture was so pervasive that it still hangs around for a while.

Any desire I may have had to play this game based on the commercial videos died as soon as I read this story outline.

Well I've seen plenty of black bread...but black cheese?

Well, in all probability, I think the point of the scene was that "Starbuck got lulled into thinking this was just part of the medical examination and said "sure" due to fear of radiation damage...when it's actually a subtle hint to the viewers that he views her as a baby factory." I'm not saying it did that *well*…

I do not suggest, I state: they are shallow and unsophisticated, and their opinions are invalid under any scrutiny.

In the foreward to the beginning of the Klingon Dictionary for the Galactic Traveler, there's a big disclaimer note pointing out "the myth of Klingon conformity", pointing out that there's actually more than one Klingon language, but what we call "Klingon" is the language of the dominant nation that emerged, i.e.…

"and everything else in that scene showed that Ron has very little knowledge about the female body and its plumbing" — ...I haven't seen that episode in a long time, what specifically was inaccurate about it?

She did a first-class Titania in Midsummer Night's Dream, if I recall.
