Yeah, and the fact that they effectively kill you when you use them.

A friend of mine actually wrote a book about transporters.  They also, you know, kill the original you.

If you’re assuming the transporter doesn’t somehow displace what’s in the space you’re transporting into, why even worry about a twig or insect? Even the gaseous atmosphere presents a matter interaction issue. You’d need to transport into a vacuum.

Oh, by the way, transporters have 100% mortality rate

Disney would never fly for it, but what would I give for a side story movie which basically is a slasher flick with Vader as the unstoppable killer.

Vader, being a dad, is allowed a few dad jokes.

A star wars horror movie with DV as the killer would be awesome. Maybe he hunts down a group of jedi after order 66 and picks them off one by one? And each one being killed a different way. 

I don’t know how this article could be a thing and this scene from the comics be omitted:

Thanks for the ride lady!

METEOR SHIT!

Hmmm - I find myself hoping that this series actually does end up taking a skeptical approach to the subject of UFOs. I’ve never seen a fictional take on UFO weirdness that follows the so-called psychosocial hypothesis; i.e., that while alien spacecraft may or may not be visiting Earth, it’s certain that many people…

Remember when History Channel was actually about history? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

33.... man, that show hit the ground running.

There have been a lot, many of which I found out about via io9, but the prototype was the new “Battlestar Galactica.” I watched the 2 night miniseries because the wife was out of town and out of nostalgia for a show I loved as a tween boy. I expected nothing because I was old enough to understand that it wasn't very…

Nah, look closer. maybe a Chinese knock off of the the Grom.

His shoes have crazy spoilers to help with downforce, duh.

But no, you can’t mine them—they’d be almost a hundred miles below the surface.
