There's a few rusted out spacecraft hulks somewhere in Africa that would explain a lot I expect.

Obligatory:

As much as i love Star Trek, I think a new thing needs to be tried with sci-fi.

Yeah, they could have detonated a load of Omega particles to disrupt subspace, making warp drive unusable over vast swathes of the Alpha quadrant.

Given time, Neds can destroy pretty much anything. I've seen them take out regular streetlamps before, just by swinging on them. Anything less than extruded diamond will be destroyed in no time! Unless they're made SUPER cheaply, or uber indestructable, they're not going to make it.

The first set of them to be installed in any given city will last about a week, after which the local junkies will realize you cannot get high off algae. After that it will just be the local yobbos/vandals/drunks to worry about.

Not sure. I suspect it's a side effect of injecting the stuff? Injecting corrosive compounds directly into living tissue doesn't sound like something that's really treatable.

This is how Zombies get started.

The arm is too far gone, that's either a massive skin-graft job or an amputation. But there will never be any way to replace the lost muscle or tissue. Although I doubt the user cares much or has the resources to afford the medical care that would be required.

OMG OMG OMG movie idea. Maybe scyfy can pick it up I dunno but get this: Robot Dragons vs Mechas!

Arnie beats the crap out of 'the Rock' and I don't care how bad pensioner Arnie looks naked these days, it would be AWESOME because 'the Rock' sucks wads.

Centuries had passed since mankinds defeat. They had watched in horror as their last, greatest defender fell from the sky, weapons still blazing, the enemy burning even as she plunged into the atmosphere. The Enemy was almost defeated that day, dozens of battleships, hundreds of almost irrelevant cruisers had died.…

I like starships in sci-fi to follow the rules of their written universe. Function over form etc. And although probably the ugliest starships ever conceived since the Borg cube, the starships of the Honor Harrington universe fit this perfectly.

They should excavate the whole thing, I bet there is a perfectly preserved Raptor or Viper down there. Maybe both! We could have FTL travel, re-establish the 12 colonies, loads of cool stuff!

Stargate. Can't recall the exact episode though. There were a few with vaguely similar structures.

Funny how so many of them died out around the 1400's. Did something happen around that time? Daleks? Borg? Someone imported rats from Europe?

Isn't there still a hosepipe ban in England that affects half the country including London? And these clowns are pissing away 30k liters a minute on a shower?

I'll be avoiding this movie. Card pisses me off, and I refuse to encourage people to think about making any more of his books INTO movies by paying them, and while it would be tempting to just pirate the thing, the whole situation with Card has just left me too bitter to even bother.

AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!AUGH!
