The specific story that covers this is the novella ‘The Churn’. Highly recommended.

It reaches out. 113 times a second. 

Haven’t read the books, but I’d bet Amos killed that mob boss and took his name before leaving Earth for good.

Nah, they get that way with a cool 300k loan from their parents.

Do you think Bezos gets free shipping on his Expanse novels, or does he wait till he needs $25 worth of stuff like the rest of us?

I don’t think that anyone could replicate the chemistry between Andreas Katsulas and Peter Jurasik. Who could have imagined during the first season that those two would effectively define everything that’s good about the series.

“You have until my engineer gets back” - such a great, even if they didn’t realize it, threat.

And better writing. Episode to episode, I mean. I’d love to see the Babylon 5 story made by someone who can write competent dialogue.

The baby with the one eyebrow grows up to be Marshal Matt Dillion.

Correction: Jesus was a Christian Scientist.

Name one. (and not say “Gitmo,” as Obama ordered it closed and Republicans blocked that from happening)

Normally, when I hear remake, my eyes roll, but this film is a perfect one to re-make. It was a pretty flawed film but with a killer premise. Kind of like “Battlestar Galatica” and look at how well that remake did when you got the right people with a good idea. A city ruled by AI who kill everyone over 30 to conserve…

The thing that always drove me nuts about the Maquis and the colonists in general is the fact that they were colonising these worlds in the first place.  Hadn't the Federation's war with the Cardassians lasted something like 50 years and been brutal, with civilian populations being killed?  If that was the case, why…

I always thought a show about colonists (not just the Maquis) in the Star Trek universe would have been interesting. There are all these colonies out there, but why? What are they doing? What do they have to gain by living in these terrible places?

Um… can we not rag on the Falkland Islands? The Argentians invaded them without provocation in the 80s. Perhaps they belonged to Argentina 300 years ago, but an Argentine hasn't lived there in living memory. When people have been there for generations, well thats different to twenty years. Also; if we Brits don't give…

I'm just saying that people have been propelled to violence and nationalism over much less than that. "

We've discussed it more on the TNG reviews, but I'll reiterate: I think the Maquis are assholes. They literally don't give a shit if the Federation and the Cardassian Union go to war, potentially costing billions of lives, all because they don't want to leave the farm they worked on for twenty years. "But this is our…

Can I start the thread about how horrible the Maquis are? Because really, this pair of episodes doesn't make them any better than the spoiled babies that they were in TNG.

And, there's no mention why they were 60s' makeup Klingons then and are now modern-makeup Klingons now. AS IT SHOULD BE.
