Oh. I hadn't thought of that. I had imagined God taking off his beard to reveal Loki's smug grin. But it's almost better if God shows up, and then Loki arrives behind him and slaps him on his ass.

Maybe instead it will be Saving Thanksgiving: Those Native Americans Should Thank US

I would see a God's Not Dead: But He's Fucking Loki.

Had my brithday dinner at a fancy sushi place, and got the 8 course omikase menu. That was a good choice, but I thought that 'collarbone of yellowtail' wouldn't be like… the whole fucking collarbone.

The first movie to score a 'G' at the AVclub?

I can see Fury Road not being to everyone's tastes. I'm sure my parents wouldn't like it.

They also have the same problem that the Federation has with the Prime Directive…. the Organians aren't out there teaching less advanced species. They just sit at home and get upset when someone gets on their yard, but it's not like they're trying to make things better unless they are actively bothered.

Part of it was that a lot of times, a ruler simply couldn't trust that decisions would be made correctly on the battlefield without direct supervision, or that a general wouldn't turn on his ruler once he had an army at his back. Even the Romans sent magistrates with their armies.

Yeah, those digressions work a lot better when you're just running the whole series, not waiting for the next one.

I was thinking that it would be more like having a more independent Texas. It could get into a fight with the rest of the US, or drag us into a fight to save it. The Federation is always wandering around poking God Like Being and more inscruitable aliens… what if the Maquis do the same? I'm sure there are a lot of…

Otherwise we're just giving eyeballs up to Youtube videos and forums!

I always end up watching the first few minutes of Talking Dead after TWD ends, and they also do behind the scenes stuff, random funny videos In Memorium to all the people and zombies that die, but mostly just chit chat.

Yeah, and you'd have to target his tiny hands and hair separately.

Very bronze. Like some future evolution of Donald Trump.

I think if left on their own, the Maquis would have threatened the Federation as much as the Kilngons and Cardassians too… they clearly were motivated to spread their ideology and build a new human empire.

The big difference between Klingons and Communists is that the TOS Klingons never seemed to be anything other than a powerful other species, trying to play at colonial dominance with it's neighbors. They never really had an ideology, and most of their spies were just doing it for money, or because they were secret…

The Maquis in DS9 seemed like the sort of people that just couldn't fit into Post Scarcity culture. They wanted to do stuff because they needed to do it, rather than living a life free of care. What was surprising is that they either couldn't find that lifestyle somewhere in the hundreds of Fed worlds, or they kept…

Yeah, but then they just started up the Human Mutant Cold war.

I just listened to Dan Carlin's latest podcast series King of Kings, and he spends a lot of time reflection on whether even early 20th century warfare is too distant. The people at The Battle of Marathon butchered each other up close and personal, and that's the sort of experience that terrifies and disturbs people…
