Sorry, couldn't resist!

The dinner scene really upped the ante for me as well (I was about the same age. Then the cynic in my came out, and I figured, nah, they're not REALLY eating those worms, they're just doing a shot of them grabbing the worms and then they cut to a shot of them chewing something else. but then, all in one shot, Riker…

That one was a nice touch. I thought I had misread it, and had to go back to check, but once I got it, I laughed.

What - y'all thought you wasn't gonna see me?

I haven't seen Children of Men, the more I hear about I the more I think that I really do need to see it…

I think a lot of us are worried about the slow decline - living in Colorado Water conservation is already a big, big deal for us. Add to that peak oil, peak phosphorous (if we run low on mined phosphorous the sort of fertilizing that drives much of our agriculture will be come very, very difficult), and a continuing…

@ ET- you've got a point there regarding the alternate timelines theory (which I subscribe to becuase it's implied by the "Many Worlds" interpretation of quantum physics). But I've got a theory about that. you're correct that the machines that sent back the first T-800 would never know that they failed. But the…

As much as I'd really love for these guys to get the beat-down they deserve, I sincerely hope the funeral attendees do their best to ignore them, just to prevent the inevitable lawsuits.

I can see the point about losing a bit of realism, but for some reason that's never really been a problem for me. maybe I just watch with a bit of cynicism. I'm always a little aware that I'm watching Star Trek, I don't really get 100% absorbed in it, so I don't expect 100% believability. So the recurring characters…

fyi, there is no editing team - the TV Club posts are self-edited, which is why you'll see the occasional typo.

that's weren't, not we're. fucking apostrophes!

No, Samuel's right, she did pose for playboy. the pictures we're very sexy though. she's got an atletic body, but to me she's un-hot in a very 80's kinda way.

oh no, I remember riptide, I remember it quite clearly. there was like a year when I went to day care for an hour at a neighbor's house before going to school (it wasn't really even day care, more like a neighbor just didn't mind 3 more kids sitting in her living room watching TV in the morning), and Riptide was on…

I believe everything is still there. It's only been around for 3 years this fall (maybe 4).

No respect for Joachim?
Judson Scott, aka Joachim from TWOK, plays the Brekkan man. I always liked that they through the occasional bone to actors who have shown up in previous Trek incarnations, even if it's a relatively small part like Joachim's

Spock's death will always have a huge impact for me, but I've got to add on the scene with the Reliant's prefix code. The tension builds and builds, Shatner manages to be dramatic without being to hammy (or rather, Nicholas Meyer manages to restrain Shatner's hamminess), and by the end of the scene the enterprise has…

The silence in Wall-E reminds me a bit of the middle section of "Castaway". there must have been about 45 minutes there with no music whatsoever, little dialogue, and minimal sound effects. in both cases the movie is much better for the audio restraint.

while we're on the subject of Eastwood western's, I'll throw my 2 cents in for "L'estasi Del Oro" from "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly". of course I've seen this movie a million times on TV as a kid, but up until last year I probably hadn't actually sat through the whole thing and paid attention to it - it was one of…

OK, so there's no compelling dialogue…
But if we're talking about arresting visuals and, ahem, "emotional" impact, then I've got to go with Pheobe Cates in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

The Falconer
No love for The Falconer in the comments? I know it's been several years,but those were some classic sketches.
