I played as a Gnome murder wizard once in D&D. It was great until my party killed me out of self-defence.

I like good scotch a great deal, but that still sounds incredibly gross, like scotch-flavored toothpaste.

I actually kind of like "Chrome". It nicely implies a surface-level paint job to make an individual, well, shiny.

I love the transitive properties presented here.

Particularly disappointing since it seems as if that's one thing that the new Robocop movie gets pretty right. The idea of a tactically-minded, bullet-resistant and above all fast combat droid is much scarier than a heavy-footed robot just standing there.

To be fair, Hardwick is never not enthusiastic so we don't have a lot to compare it to.

Yeah, I remember "Laura" from when it originally aired on CBC. Bobby, you nut.

Don't know which station, as her function was nonspecific if I remember correctly. But considering it was on the bridge during a few major battles, it must have been pretty important.

Yet there is she on the bridge, manning a station. Was it a counseling station?

Which introduces the totally different problem that she (Ezri) is not particularly qualified to be there and essentially inherited her knowledge and skills from her predecessor. She essentially left her job to herself in her will.

Yup, that's pretty much the impression that I get. "Not brilliant" sounds like damning with faint praise, but I really do mean just that.

Yeah, Romulans are pretty hilarious that way, sort of like the Ferengi.

True. When Worf started yelling shit out on the holodeck there wasn't even anyone else around. A spoken oath with no witnesses is about as informal as you can reasonably get.

Zero O'Brien episodes?

On a ship of a thousand people, complete with spouses and children, totally.

"I am Kurn, son of Mogh, here to follow the banner of Sisko. I bring an offering of donuts and pastries to soothe your human appetites. Cross me and I will kill you without hesitation. Now, where can I place this poster with kittens on it?"

Man alive, if they thought Mortal Kombat was bad…

You know, it's funny, but I never got the impression that Beverly was a brilliant doctor. Just like Geordi didn't really seem like a brilliant engineer.

It's weirdly fascinating that an action whose twin pillars are the vulnerable humanity of the hero and the (relative) plausibility of the action has become a ludicrously over-the-top farce starring a geriatric, unstoppable cyborg.

It's weird seeing him turn up as a character actor since I think of him looking, by default, like a grey-skinned alligator man. Then he plays the father of a murdered bride on The Mentalist, and everything is upside-down for a moment.
