Funnily enough, in Weath of Khan, Kirk did essentially have that scene, where he was working on a plan by just sitting around :D

That's also a reference to Wrath of Khan. It references the group in the Genesis cave talking about what they're going to do...where Kirk answers with the equivalent of "I'm working on it". A classic scene in a great movie that pays off when Spock calls to let Kirk know that Enterprise is as ready as she can be.

"Cook, The Thief His Wife and Her Lover" elicts many reactions.

I'll throw my hat in for the Campbell: 38 stories (including two domestic reprints and one Polish and one French reprint) and four poems published or accepted for publication since my first publication in magazines such as Lightspeed (cross-posted here on io9!), Clarkesworld, Beneath Ceaseless Skies. Also run an…

TL; DR: Dyslexia is a phonological deficit that "blinds" your brain to the sub-lexical sounds in words, called phonemes. In the word 'dog' there are three phonemes; d/o/g. Dyslexics, by and large, can't hear the individual sounds represented by the letters. But if you want to know more, check below:

Maybe it would help him better differentiate between and "b" and a "d" or a "q" and a "g" but I don't think they look different enough with…

Look no further than "Blade Runner." Although the film has all kinds of problems itself, "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" always felt like a very weak novel to me. It has just had the good luck of having been made into an interesting and influential film.

Isolationism, Latent homosexuality, Survivors guilt all summed up on a couch to a holographic shrink.. can't get more Physiological than that.

The Moody Blues: In the Beginning.

This will forever be the scariest death I've seen in a movie, because you never see what happens. It's dark, you're in an alien environment with no ground and nothing to grab on to, that looks the same no matter where you face and the safety of land so tantalizingly out of reach. The one thing that seems familiar, the…

Thought this one was gonna be obvious.

For the record, no I don't care. ;) I turn my physics brain off for superhero movies. And I love the Avengers.

No Helena yet?? I'm disappointed...

Man oh man, I wish she had unleashed on those Alliance troopers like she had on the Reavers...

Charlie in The Long Kiss Goodnight

Seriously. Bring on Mercy.

"I was good. I was very, very good,"

Yeah, I wish them the best of luck with that — she ain't no cow. Countdown to the henchmen' gory end begins now...
