I remember reading an old short story in the Fahrenheit 451 vein wherein the most intelligent citizens were forced to wear light helmets that would blast overwhelming sound, like an air horn, into their ears at semi-random intervals. The idea was to make it almost impossible for them to concentrate for any length of…

True. She was a competent officer and an interesting lady but she was never that well-served by the scripts.

Frakes doesn't have a weak chin, he has (or had) a babyface.

I listened to JRWST for a while until they started DS9, then fell off the wagon because it just seemed like they were spinning their wheels.

… Why? Are you John Champion? Or maybe Ken Ray?

S3: The High Ground, Transfigurations
S4: Remember Me, The Host
S7: Sub Rosa, Attached

She's almost too gorgeous to be plausible in serious roles. It was a little hard to believe her as a hard-bit assistant DA in Law & Order and that was after taking the role over from former Bond girl Carey Lowell.

Except jingles. I think we forget how much jingles used to be everywhere. Now they're basically extinct.

The one case Goliath could never solve.

You are just the world's most specific gimmick poster.

Plus the fact that Tony Todd is fucking awesome.

Appropriately, the most difficult English phrase for her to learn was "don't let the screen door hit ya where the good Lord split ya."

The second-last scene literally ends with ships sailing into the sunset.

My girlfriend's favorite is 8, but in her defence she's completely crazy.

Tell me that MAD Magazine did a parody of this movie called "Always Bet on Blech". Otherwise they just left money on the table.

Liked for "ghettoize their telephotos".

I'm never one to guess a lady's age, so I'll simply say: too old for that look.

Yeah, his live surveillance feed of a Chinese aircraft carrier was pretty fun. In a way it reminded me of Jack Palance in Tango & Cash having his limo slow-drive past the crime scene where a billion dollars' worth of his cocaine has just been seized by supercop Sly Stallone.

Honestly, I think so. Aircraft carriers are tough, but torpedoes are specifically designed to sink things like aircraft carriers. I don't know if two torpedoes would be enough to do the job completely, but I bet they would make the target a powerless hulk.

Yeah, what is with that? I understand wanting to try a new look, but it's like she's taking makeup tips from a 17-year-old who wants to piss off her dad. I like 'cat's eye' eyeliner as much as anyone, but I don't think you're supposed to apply it with a paintbrush.
