Look below. I specifically compared him to Ash.

Just doing CYA. There's always someone who gets upset (and I've been that person once or twice so I err on the side of caution).

(Spoiler for the original Alien)

Looks like a case for CSI: Time Travel Unit.

Fucking unicorns! I KNEW they were evil.

The folks wondering about the Big Red Button are not thinking like engineers. Somewhere in the 1000+ pages of building specifications for the facility was probably a requirement to be able to rapidly release the cage occupants in an emergency.

You do realize this a trailer for a book not a movie, right?

Speaking of Khan, I actually did use him as "the poster boy for eugenics", as you so eloquently put it, in a paper for my Critical Thinking class. Since the reading assignments in the class were Brave New World, 1984, and Vonnegut's Player Piano I figured I could use a Star Trek reference. I got an A on the paper.

When I regained consciousness after my knee surgery there was a large orderly standing there. He was there because I had been "combative" when first coming out of the anesthesia.

I'm behind on the Temeraire series but I really liked the first book. It's worth the read if you have any interest in the time period.

That idea is going to be in the back of my mind when I see this now.

Cool! I'll have to add snake wine to my list of fantasy story potables.
