Don’t agree with most of your picks, except maybe for The Expanse—-but then ALL of The Expanse should be included in the Best Moments category, imho.

with a talent that gave us films like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Iron Man 3

It still sucks.

No, but YOU are...

I hope they never do that. This show’s been pretty amazing so far, a very pelasant surprise. Hope they keep on doing the unexpected.

how absolutely crazy and toxic the Star Wars fandom online can be.

2018 was a great year to be a Star Wars fan

Nobody mentioned the atlatl, or spear thrower, which probably came before the bow.

Cox rocks!

Right. Like, Picard’s had a series and several movies already...what else is left to with with the character? Stories about the Geriatric Federation?

The Interstellar ship was quite unique, a nice example of a design that was all about function and not about looks. The Martian’s ship seems pretty flawless(looks good too!), if a bit too “roomy” for a spaceship. My only beef with Gravity is when the Bullock character catches Clooney, stabilizes him enough, but then…

I agree with everything you said. Maybe I didn’t make myself clear in my original post: the ORIGIN ship is an absolute design disaster, it gets everything wrong—-including the constant thruster operation, which would be absurd for the reasons you pointed out. From the way the characters move inside the ship, it sure…

I think I know what the critic was trying to say. It may sound a bit extreme to say scifi and horror should never go together, but come to think of it, the best kind of scifi rarely involves horror. It may be a rather ‘purist’ view of the genre, but essentially scifi is more speculative, a genre that is concerned with…

Shields! I guess I missed that one! Which only makes things even more ridiculous, of course...

That’s not how it works in space. You just can’t compare the thrust necessary to move a massive spaceship to that used to move a car. Let’s assume for lack of data(from the ORIGIN series, I mean) that the engines generate 1G of thrust: the ship would be like a vertical building, with the engines at the “bottom”, and…

I usually don’t give a lot of thought to ship designs in science fiction movies. My general assumption is that they exist to look cool, with function considered as a secondary problem if at all.

You guys don’t get it: Trump wants to take the US to a whole new world...

Yeah, I always thought that the title “King of the First Men” suggested that Westeros was an Earth colony. Never read the books, so don’t know if that’s what GRRM had in mind.

Star Wars is over, it has been over for a while now, ever since Lucas sold it to Disney. So, nothing new here...
