You've presented nothing that would indicate the "200 year window" is inaccurate. If spaceflight technology in the research and development phases now remain on track, then there's no doubt in my mind that we will be sending probes to other stars and getting back signals within that amount of time. If not, it…

If he'll offer a Cheetara in every bed then he has my vote!

You seem to have not paid attention to anything I've said. Let me reiterate.

That's the difference between an actor and a movie star. An actor plays roles and characters to suit the film, a movie star is themselves a character role that the audience pays to see in vehicles designed for or adapted to suit them. Both approaches have validity, but I agree with you in most cases regarding…

First off: Of COURSE the overwhelming majority of UFO sightings are earthly phenomena or craft mistaken by amateur observers for something they're not. And of course the whole UFO movement is akin to a modern science fiction cult with a lot of wild, nonsensical claims and wacky adherents. That doesn't mean that none…

I read the first novel and was greatly disappointed. It struck me as a work that was entirely too enamored of it's own importance, with some very hackneyed ideas and long pointless sequences that were almost unreadable in their endless, smug dryness. There was a good story there, when it didn't have it's head up it's…

Everything is unverifiable until it's verified. It's unscientific in the extreme to dismiss anything reasonably credible until it's been given at least cursory investigation. If you had your way, we'd never know when aliens did show up because we'd never investigate any reports.

You're right! I fixed it in reference to your observation.

You're exactly right. Most forms of economy would become instantly irrelevant once we achieve virtual existence. Overpopulation becomes meaningless when people are stored in coffin-sized containers stacked in skyscrapers like server farms. The resources to sustain them become minimal when you're just pumping nutrient…

Already happened.

Hmm, it turns out that Christ might be the key to eternal life after all. Only they got the first name wrong, it's George Christ.

In the Dagobah one, it looks like Luke is all "Hey who swapped my lightsaber for this dinky-assed flashlight?"

Well, there goes the old "hold up the decapitated head of your enemy to the retina scanner" trick. It was good while it lasted.

It was Old Chicago, on top of which New Chicago had been built following a nuclear holocaust. It was a blasted out wasteland filled with dangerous mutants. Nothing that could be called human survived there long.

My problem with her is that we already have two too many unpowered humans on the team as it is, and we need to reduce that number not add to it. It's hard enough to justify why Captain America belongs fighting on the same battlefield as Hulk and Thor without a pair (or trio as you posit) of powerless pansies. Save…

He already exists, but he's not a superhero. His name was Vlad "The Impaler" Tpes, and was the inspiration for Bram Stoker's famous and infamous Count Dracula.

Weapons grade nightmare fuel.

Maria Hill is not an Avenger, she's just a second in command to Fury and like him stays on base. She might as well not have even been named. Black Widow is hardly a superhero, she's a secret agent who does her best work undercover against henchmen and criminals and terrorists, while Hawkeye has "I have a bow and…

I remember Sesame Street before Elmo took it over. :(
