I think the Objectivists….

I never read a Star Trek novel. But, oddly enough, my family used to go on long car trips…and for a while we would listen to books on tape, which featured a lot of Next Generation books turned into audio books. It's a very odd experience to hear Gates McFadden trying to sound like Patrick Stewart or Jonathan Frakes.

For all we know, he was handed a "Lwaxana and Alexander bond, GO!" concept and couldn't get them to change their minds.

Ah, I see. I was under the impression that they were only using one or the other. I should rewatch the episode again, it's been a while.

I liked the fact that in the end, following the brilliant android's plan got them all killed, while the regular human's idea was the right one. Though I always wondered why they didn't just try both at the same time to get a larger margin of success-it's not like blowing up the shuttle bay (while killing all the red…

I wasn't enough of a Square devotee to be able to say when they peaked-I stuck with Nintendo when Square announced they were taking things over to Sony's system, and I didn't have enough money to buy more than one system. But I can say that Square has never understood the "less is more" principle of narration, and as…

So glad to know I'm not alone there.
I mostly listen to NPR podcasts, which includes Pop Culture Happy Hour. It can get really aggravating when Linda Holmes suggests a game, and then half the group goes "I didn't really understand the point of this, so I'm going to be 'playful' and suggest something that goes…

Spot on about how ridiculous this makes Worf look.They might as well have put a Sad Trombone over the news that he was paralyzed. "I'll never walk again?!" *WAH-WAH-WAH-WAAAAH!*

While there are probably episodes that can be skipped in the first few seasons, I wouldn't recommend skipping them entirely-some of the impact of later episodes comes from meeting characters like Gul Dukat from the beginning.

It was just me being curious what people think about it, considering the mind rape episode that was covered last week.

Everyone should be glad they didn't remember more.
If Worf had somehow kept all of his memories of Klingon tradition while forgetting he wasn't in charge, that bridge would have had a few dead officers before the episode was over.

The thing is, Aquaman has never been limited to just talking with fish and breathing underwater, except on the Superfriends cartoon. But that's been the version the Internet at large likes to remember, both because of their childhood memories and because it's a lot easier to mock.

The end encounter between Kilgore Trout and Vonnegut in Breakfast of Champions still gets me right in the gut. I'm not going to spoil why, but if you've read it, you probably know what I mean.

I first got into Vonnegut through God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater. What I took away from it (and maybe this isn't the message, but it's still a striking image to me) is a man who basically broke from being too kind, and people that weren't intentionally cruel to such generosity-but they literally did not understand it.

Sheena Walker, Texas Ranger.

Not science fictiony, but it's the one line I remember right now:

Maybe The Heaviest Beam in the Universe met the Sturdiest Chair in the universe there?

If only his last name had been Who….
I actually liked A Matter Of Time a lot. To me, the crew seemed less naive than unable to offer credible evidence against Frewer; his behavior is off and he's annoying, but his ship is undeniably future tech. And who knows why he acts that way? Maybe as an academic, he just isn't…

Wow.

The Joker's theme has no tubas.
That's Charley's theme, man. We get some of the Joker's theme music during the car chase, but the tuba and whistles are all for Charley.
