For what it's worth, I disagree re: Elizabeth Rohm's acting. I have nothing against her but I've never seen her give a particularly good performance. It might just be who she is but I find her mechanical—underexpressive without the intensity to be a woman of few words.

I've always liked the idea that Skynet wasn't really trying to win the war. It was, after all, a combat AI. Combat wasn't only its raison d'etre, it was literally all Skynet knew. Winning the war would mean an end to combat forever … then what?

The T-X could form giant energy blasters with her hands as well as remotely controlling machinery and doing on-the-fly forensics like blood scans.

Gotta admit, that was a badass kill on Megatron's part. Didn't even move his arm.

Ha, Starscream getting the Galvatron upgrades is a funny idea given how immediately and invariably treacherous he is.

If you haven't been following the Trump Leaks twitter feed, you absolutely must. Trump and Paul Ryan are the main players, but Christie (new name: "Hole"), Ann Coulter and the cyclopean horror that is Roger Ailes (notable quote: "[damp squishing noise]") all have supporting roles.

Two facts are revealed:

He looked the part, too. Maybe he was the Autobot equivalent of Rick Perry or John Edwards: a well-intentioned lightweight who gets in over his head immediately because he just looks like classic "leader" material.

Though a few more were apparently lurking just out of frame, since Cyclonus gets backed up by three(?) ships. So that's an armada of sorts, even if it's on the lower end.

Yeah, Prowl really bites it in the shuttle even harder than most. There is not the faintest doubt in the audience's mind that this robot is dead, dead, dead.

That was in the DVD version. No idea about the blu-ray.

Beast Wars finished pretty strong and even had a good sense of humor.

It was actually pretty well-used, too. Unicron is in the middle of eating one of the Autobots' moonbases (read: it's an actual base the size and shape of a small moon) so they have it self-destruct right there in his "mouth".

Speaking as a Canadian, never even heard of Heath. But the omission of Skor blizzards is either a regionalism or a firing-level blunder.

Guess so. Very thin, flat, crunchy hard toffee robed in milk chocolate.

Some of them have actively eschewed all reason in their efforts to portray her as—or rather, to bring to light their firmly held belief that she is—literally the worst, most evil person in American history.

ANY clothes on Dejah Thoris would be 'more clothes'. Her ceremonial uniform was a tiara and a two-foot length of gold braid.

"Baby, you got a stew goin'!" is going to be one of those lines that survives in a hundred years long after everyone's forgotten about Arrested Development.

Ah! Then yes. Definitely.
