Yeah, that’s why I almost never do snacks in a movie theater. I’m perfectly content to wait until after the show to snack.

This would have been Ross/Rachel all over again. It just wouldn’t work. In addition to being a rehash it looks like they weren’t trying to protect Chandler like they did Ross. In that case you had a long story with Ross acting like a jealous idiot about Rachel/Mark. They fought increasingly leading to Rachel saying…

There are a couple of cast members from the first few seasons before the cast settled into its most famous iteration that are still with us.

Karen Austin who played clerk Lana Wagner in season 1 before being replaced by Charles Robinson.
Also Ellen Foley who was the public defender in season 2 before Markie Post got the…

You can easily avoid drinking/eating for 5 hours at home (we Jews do a 24 fast ever year). That said I’m totally on board with pausing to get up and grab and snack or drink as desired.

Re: the holodeck

The safety precautions only make things it creates unable to hurt you by themselves. So a bullet wouldn’t penetrate or a knife couldn’t stab if the safety precautions were turned on. The precautions wouldn’t prevent you from straining a muscle.

Troi is a Lt. Cmdr for the bulk of the series. We just don’t really know because she is never in her uniform with her rank on the collar.

Both the author and the editor (via note) refer to this as a recap on the page. The blurb for episodes 2 and 3 also says recap.

Would he be scabbing if he danced though? If DTS only employs a WGA to writer to write the banter between the hosts then the dancers wouldn’t be replacing struck work by continuing to dance ergo they wouldn’t be scabbing (the hosts would be scabbing though if they worked). This isn’t the Drew Barrymore/Jennifer Hudson…

I’m sure he does something to pass time. Maybe catches up on his reading or checks out some local art work or something. Also he isn’t going to conquer much with one Star Destroyer. It’s also hard to be critical of him not conquering anyone when we don’t know what the surrounding galaxy is like, what the local alien…

rapes a woman

I know I’m posting this a decade after the original post and it will likely never be seen but...her departure had nothing to do with Playboy. The only spread she did was in early 1979. She did appear in the magazine again in May 1988 but that was reusing the pictures from the original shoot without her knowledge or…

I would also imagine it depends on whether the convicted has dependents to factor in. That’s not the case with R. Kelly though who isn’t married and all of his kids are in their 20s.

she left him and didn’t complete her training.

R2 didn’t have the full map so Luke wasn’t hidden just because he was taking a nap. Also whether a lightsaber stab is fatal would depend on internal anatomy and where you were stabbed. Also Ahsoka probably had the ability to due an initial treatment of Sabine’s wound on her ship before flying her back to the city to…

If you’re referring to the documentary “Dirty Blonde”. It aired in May 2020. You can probably find it on PBS’s app/website and the other usual places.

One of the things I’ve always wondered about Star Trek is why someone as clearly capable as Spock never rose to the captain’s chair

He was accused of being Nazi but it was never proven. As for the KKK he was arrested after a rally in Jamaica in Queens NY turned violent. Since he lived in the neighborhood at the time it is impossible to know whether he was with the Klan or just a bystander that got caught up in the whole thing.

Extremis doesn’t make you immortal. Aldrich Killian and a bunch of his goons were killed despite having Extremis after all. 

It should be noted that part of the reason that we have less Pike this season is that Anson Mount and his wife had a child a little over a month before filming began. I think he requested less time on set (which he was granted).

They’re kind of vague on whose abilities can be copied. Most of the Avengers are guys and gals in suits or guys and gals who can fight or shoot really well. I think for the most part that would be a no on Carol though you might get a strength boost from her Kree/Human DNA. The only other heroes at the battle at the…
