Because it's not Brooks' documentary? I'd be surprised if Shatner didn't go in with more wardrobe and makeup considerations than Brooks got, simply because Shatner is the main star.

Enh, it's a movie. A disease that takes weeks to kill people isn't as scary or as easy to convey in 120 minutes or less.

Maybe it's a nod to the (even crazier) hairstyles among dwarfs you see in Warhammer? There you have mostly naked maniac dwarfs with orange or red mohawks.

I think the kicker is that whether it's a disability, a choice, or an orientation, if it's something they're comfortable with that isn't hurting themselves or others then their contentment must be considered.

To those who know Who better: were the Daleks the first threat to use minimalistic catch-phrases? I know that RTD seemed to require his monsters to all have "scary" quotes ("Delete!" "Are you my mummy?" "My babies!!!"), but the Daleks started that trend on Who, right?

That's what I was thinking too. Technically they are removing limbs to get mechanical replacements, but it's not like in cyberpunk where people upgrade their bodies by removing -healthy- body part for bionics.

Slow news day?

For some reason I'm reminded of Romero's "Survival of the Dead" where it seemed like all the zombie extras were just overweight fans. Very -intact- overweight fans.

Didn't anyone ever tell you: internet forum posts are a serious business!

Don't forget geothermal, hydroelectric, gas, and coal.

I think the author meant Tiamat when they said Polychromatic Dragon. They just forgot what it was called, how it screamed all kinds of horrible things, and how it sounded like the very voice of evil when I was a kid.

Seconded. The Big D ran for President and -won-. And his will was one of the more amusing parts of Shadowrun myth (it also doubled as a great collection of mysterious plot hooks for GMs to run with). [ancientfiles.dumpshock.com]

The Lost Room is great. A bit darker and more suspenseful than most of the Syphilis Channel's (can't resist) offerings. On the flipside, the core premise of "the world is full of strange objects that people want to collect" can be seen in Warehouse 13. I'm not saying W13 is a better show, but the formula it uses…

River Song is Romana.

"Blue Planet" is another good RPG that deals with capitalist dystopias (or at least the negative impact of corrupt capitalistic societies). Mutant Chronicles also springs to mind (the game, not the movie), where 5 megacorps control pretty much everything and war with one another.

I'm torn....

Reminds me of Disney's Gargoyles. It ran 3 (or 2, depending on who you ask) seasons back in the 90's before cancellation. They had fan conventions, comic continuations, etc. etc. Stuff that's much more demanding of the fanbase than simply posting a sentence of support on public forums. But it's all dead now.

I love it.

Now, I'll admit the Doctor -could- be a woman, and that it'd be at least as easy to justify in this show as any other (of course, there's as much basis that he could -not- regenerate as a woman as there is that he could, but that's besides the point). The fact that people are so passionate about the idea of the…

You're not alone.
