More closely related to the film itself:  we don't fly space shuttle missions anymore and the only "orbiter" named Explorer is a full-scale replica at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. 
So the film obviously takes place in an alternate universe where they don't necessarily choose to fly their satellites in the same

The Slant article also mentioned this idea that things should be "against the back wall" but I don't buy it.  Once the force from gravity and drag force were equal and she was falling at a constant rate she would again be in free fall.  Just like skydiving - things would appear to "float" within your frame of

Weighing in with my own personal experience:  Never been an astronaut but I've been a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy for just shy of 20 years.  I can tell you that even after drilling on casualties to the point where the correct responses should be reflexive, people would still lose their minds when the real thing

Glad someone articulated this because it's been bugging me as well.  I was assuming that Irving is from the New York state police because that's who handles cases like this in that state (?)

Yeah so that was really creepy for a show that airs at 9 PM (Eastern Time, the only time that counts).  However, the show seems to want it both ways in that his neck would have at least been ripped open, exposing a lot of the musculature and trachea.  Not to mention quite a lot of blood. 

It's weak sauce for a very simple reason: Guns actually exist, magic does not.  It's like saying "I didn't see a bunch of people running around force-choking each other after Star Wars came out so we don't have to worry about movie gun violence encouraging real life violence."

Rise of the Planet of the Muppets

I haven't seen the movie yet but in my mind this actually helps make sense of the other people here saying "How did he just walk into the Daily Planet at the end of this movie as Clark Kent and land a job when it's the fictional equivalent of the NY Times, blah blah blah…"

EXT. SCENE - ROOF OF DAILY PLANET BUILDING

So he probably wishes he had Harry Potter's agent

So about the whole "Khan's crew is hidden in the torpedoes".  In my version of the script:

McCoy specifically states he doesn't have the know-how to thaw people out because cryo-stasis isn't something that's used anymore.  Presumably they freeze Kirk (which is easier than thawing) and then have to wait until the battle is over to take him to earth where somebody can unfreeze him and then inject him with

The next movie will deal with their tumultuous divorce and will be titled "Uncivil Twilight"

I'm always up for Pete's attempt to appear indignant getting undermined (by a momentary loss of physical coordination in this case), but was anyone else wondering if his fall appeared in the script or was ad libbed?

The first thing I thought of was My Own Private Idaho.  Then I decided My Bodyguard with Chris Makepeace and Adam Baldwin was probably a better fit. 

You know what really pisses me off?  It's when somebody disparages an individual, that individual happens to be a minority, so the person making the comment must be racist/sexist/ageist/ species-ist or what have you.

Yes it was - My wife and I wondered why we couldn't find a parking spot to go eat at Ted's Montana grill. 

Since the prevailing opinion here seems to be that Tyler Perry is a narcissist (which I whole-heartedly agree with), I pose the following question:

"…the most indelible of Ally’s love interests."  Isn't "indelible" already a superlative?  How do you get even more unforgettable?

As you say, the joy of this show is figuring out who committed the murder and/or how the murder was committed.  But as soon as all the pieces came together in the interrogation room I turned to my wife and said "Any decent lawyer could get this guy off."
