That explains a lot, really.

Warning: It's Just A Show. You Should Really Just Relax.

Side effects may include craving for turkey sandwiches.

Warning: If you thought Season 1 of DS9 was bad, go back and watch Season 1 of TNG. DS9 is starting to look pretty good, all of a sudden, right?

Perhaps we amend the warning to "Warning: You may not believe it at the time, but you will be glad that you watched all the way through Season 1."

Warning: The Character You Will Love Most Will Only Appear in 33 Episodes

The first part of the first season of most shows is pretty rocky, in my experience, for a number of reasons.

Say what you will about Vin Diesel's acting talents (which, while maybe not Oscar-caliber, are miles better than mine), I think his genuine enthusiasm for even just that one line will carry him a long way. It's quite endearing, really, as he seems to love things the right way: without irony or shame.

HE JUST WANTS HIS KIDS BACK, OKAY?

This from the team that counts Ozzie "Backflips" Smith among its club legends.

One of my basic tenets in life is that, regardless of your own personal beliefs, you don't get to tell other people what they believe or how they feel. That's their job.

I'm interested in the improvements over the course of the console cycle as developers learned to harness the power of the platforms.

I think it makes sense to leave the PC out of this conversation, as the PC platform exists in a state of constant incremental improvement year-over-year. Let me put it this way: an XBox 360 or PS3 purchased in 2006 will play all the same games at identical performance levels as one purchased in 2013, whereas a PC that…

Are we sure this place wasn't once a Native American burial ground or something?

I think it's just his default response to everything.

How about something that takes place in the post-V'ger universe? I would prefer something that doesn't automatically assume that the Federation is always right. Maybe that's always the ending answer, but I would appreciate something that at least bothers to show its work. I would also prefer something where there is…

Harlan Ellison's fingers are just itching to dial his attorney.

I would say that if an author is prolific, that means they are dedicated to making a living from their craft. It's not easy to do. Stephen King, in particular, is the sort who seems to thrive in this sort of forced-march to creativity. Sure, there's a fair amount of his stuff that isn't that great, but he also has a…

I think this concept is better suited to a superhero parody. The risk you run in using established heroes for this is that we have been conditioned to treat Superman, and to a much greater degree, Batman, as infallible, so there is the risk that many members of the audience might be laughing at Wonder Woman rather…

It seems to me that the Chiefs don't need to change their name so much as their branding and iconography. After all, "chief" just means leader, and need not be used as part of a Native American stereotype. Change the mascot to a police chief or fire chief, and suddenly you have a completely different connotation. It…
