And TOS was just a big recruitment advertisement for Starfleet.

Martinez, a known prankster, sends Watney out to get more blinker fluid and elbow grease while they are getting ready to leave. They all forgot he was there, and they launch.

The original Justice League cartoon is great. The new JLAU cartoons are very much not kid friendly. I watched the first half of The Flashpoint Paradox with my son, who loves superhero stuff. In the second half, Wonder Woman kills a 8 year old kid, and Superman detaches Aquaman's arm off using heat vision.

My first thought was "I wonder where everyone parked."

I looked at the cast list of the film, and it's most of the Justice League. You got Superman, Batman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Cyborg. All that's left is Hawkgirl, GL, and Martian Manhunter.

It did get me curious about why Superman would need a gang of heavily armed, black uniformed thugs working for him? In one trailer, they are bending the knee to him, and he doesn't look upset by it. And in another shot, while fighting Batman, you can clearly see the S logo on their shoulder. What gives, man?

Wish they showed his nude scene from Dogma.

My wife hates scifi. But thanks to being married to me, she knows most of the members of the Jedi council, and all of the Star Trek captains. Any time my kids ask questions about comic book heroes, she answers, and looks sad that she knows it.
So I agree with you. Clumsy way of answering for the audience. She should…

Rose Tyler knew what a singularity was. And she started out working in a shop in London when the Doctor found her.

That brings up something else. How did Caitlin Snow not know what a Singularity is? It's a freakin' black hole (rather, it's the thing that a supermassive star turns into after it collapses, which draws in everything toward it, which is what forms a black hole) . Hell, I know what a singularity is, and I'm an…

It goes to the fact that ESPN and other broadcasters make the cable companies pay out the ass for programming. That's why you will lose channels every now and then when CBS and TWC can't reach an agreement. And it's why we've added the $2.75 broadcast and sports fee to the bill. To call attention to that so people…

Her character's mother was the highlight of the show for me. When she died, I was very sad, and almost didn't finish the season.

That's why I don't watch talk shows. That, and they bore the crap out of me.

I'm laughing my ass off at the whole thing. I wouldn't pay $100 to watch anything at home. I have a hard time feeling any sympathy for anyone at this point. I don't think any fight you pay $100 for is going to live up to the hype that was in your head. You're bound to be disappointed. Unless actual swords came…

Is "Dig" a prequel to "Holes"?

The GCPD Bowling team, Thursday nights at Pinz

If he takes off the shoes, he'll stop being the boyfriend, and go back to his normal self. Picture your signifigant other suddenly becoming a stranger upon removing shoes.Now you have a naked stranger in your house, his jiggy big waving hither and yon.

I don't want to hear it. We're talking about a film production that contained *3* armies (including thousands of suicidal orcs AND unstoppable ghosts), a Balrog, 9 Nazgul, hundreds of Oliphants, and a giant spider. You want to tell me that one lawyer could fight all of that to keep 2 wizards out of there? I'm just…

But at the time of the actual battle, Sauron's recruitment drive should have been over, and they would have been needed at Minas Tirith. They didn't even show up at the Battle of the Black Gate. But they were totally irrelevant. They might as well not have been mentioned at all.

I don't understand the Wizards. They were sent by Illuvatar to Middle Earth to give advice about fighting evil, specifically Sauron. But when it's time to actually do it, only Gandalf shows up. Radagast can't be bothered to leave the chipmunks and come help. And the two blue wizards? Where the hell were they? Did…
