Going against a democratic state is easy. Sticking to those principles when the going is harder is the true test of those principles.

The hunters’ horn. It always struck me as a hunters’ horn. Very fitting.

I can actually deal with effectively recapitulating ANH with this one. It’s a solid foundation to re-establish the series going forward and set up the new characters. I can also see someone commenting that the past is repeating itself by way of the Force...building up to what?

Beyond Earth? Beyond caring.

Obligatory.

The closest B5 got was the climactic battle in “Severed Dreams” (described by an associate at the time as “the finest hour in television history”). The CGI at the time was almost up to the challenge, but in my mind it’s always the defining argument in favor of practical effects.

Isn’t that kind of like making an alloy from matter and antimatter?

Ah. Yeah, a trilby. Brim looked wider from the angle the other pic was taken from. #nevermind

...am I the last person on Earth that can distinguish between a fedora and a trilby?!?

...in this case, it looked a lot like that. If you replace “ghosts” with “arsenic and other nasty contaminants” and “turn it off” with “punch a hole in that earthen dam so it can drain”.

Oh, I don’t worry about the comment trolls. Their work pales in comparison to Dvorsky’s.

It doesn’t give me that feeling at all. I already had it. It’s going to be a trainwreck.

OK, this article gets a star simply for this.

Actually, that particular gesture in the UK is, well, the equivalent of the bird. I have no idea if he intended it as such. Though honestly the way the other fingers are held I’m amazed nobody mistakes the real pic for throwing a gang sign these days...

For the urban setting, I agree entirely. Cars have been a liability in major cities for a long time now. The problem is they’re so damn useful—you’d have to have a replacement that is reasonably close in flexibility and capability before people will switch without coercion. (You can try to coerce the change,…

Seen Al Gore’s footprint? Compare to, say, Ed Begley Jr. It’s clear who takes it seriously and who’s just in it for the cash and power.

She practices what she preaches. I can respect that. She’s not who I have a problem with in that case.

When the carbon footprint of the environmental evangelist is in tune with their rhetoric, we can discuss my modes of transportation. Not before.

Ironically the birds of prey seem to benefit from roads. Asphalt means heat, and heat means updrafts—something that increases the range they can hunt over substantially. I see this a lot where I live.

That or he understands how high command and insignia work in dictatorships. More decorations = more power...until you find the one with a plain uniform people listen to. That is the Boss of Bosses.
