1) The Night Witches because they kicked ass and took numbers

This looks amazingly fun. But what I’d really love to see is a Star Wars version of Star Trek: Bridge Commander.

“I’d like to see what Michael Bay could do with Pearl Harbor,” is a thing someone actually said one time.

I need to be clear: I would not merely lose my shit. It would be as if my shit had never existed. The very concept of shit would no longer be relevant in the current paradigm.

Wearing headphones while driving is not illegal is prohibited in a few states.

I got the feeling that this might be a proof of concept for a full-length feature, like a kid-friendly Mad Max in the air or some such. Which made it really weird when I saw it sandwiched between a bunch of serious war-centric short films last week.

The airplane nerd in me is confused why they’re using what look like water-cooled aircraft engines in a parched world. The rest of me is furiously shushing him.

I dunno. That would be weird.

As long as Hera and Chopper make it, acceptable losses.

I think there’s a hierarchy of animated characters who get to be in live action and until these two get into live action everyone else is in a holding pattern.

I would assume that the soldiers on board turned off the transponder as soon as they gained control of the vessel. No reason to broadcast their position.

I liked that too, we got to feel she really was a professional officer which was needed.

I liked Pulaski, aside from her treatment of Data. She was tough, smart, talented and didn’t give a rat’s ass if you liked her or not.

Concorde was never viable. It barely made a profit without ever making back its original development and construction costs. It was not welcomed to fly supersonically over any other country; the US was not unique in this. Even the Russians with a motive to rub it in failed to commercialize their SST.

Interestingly, this might be the first time a Gawker article correctly used the term...

I, for one, am eagerly awaiting EDIT IV.

That’s always driven me nuts. I’ve never met anyone that sticks their car keys in the sunvisors.
