IP lawyer here. Let me explain what’s actually going on.

Got it in one: the fundamental problem is an incompatability between the goals of doing science, which is to repeatedly test a hypothesis under controlled, isolated conditions so as to infer from that test useful information about how the world likely works, and the goal of prosecution, which is to tell a story about…
Yes, it is insane, and that is exactly the problem. Part 1 of fixing this is getting rid of elections for DA’s, but there’s a million other problems as well.
“... but that she is not some dike holding back Lena’s villainy.”

And the way Seven goes from her previously structured and clipped way of saying “humanity” to the more loose, more human-like “Every damn day,”
It is not uncommon for artists to have not read, or been given anything but the most cursory information about the books they are doing cover art for. At this time cover art had almost nothing to do with the contents of the book inside. You should see some of the Ray Bradbury paperbacks (or science fiction in…
I remember seeing these on the paperback racks in drug stores and grocery stores at the time (which, along with department stores, is where much of of middle America bought their books.) They really bothered me at the time but that was when I thought the art on book covers should be as “realistic” as possible. I can…
From an article I read, it wasn’t that she didn’t bother, but the books weren’t published in America yet and she didn’t know anyone who had read them. Apparently she wasn’t given any art direction either.
Picard with an eyepatch + Seven of Nine dual-wielding huge phasers = everything I want out of Star Trek.
just ever closer to blogging “Honestly, What Board Game Wouldn’t Be Improved By Random Kaiju Attacks?”
This woman is an evil stepmother in a Disney live-action flick starring the latest child actor.
Right?! All those libtards with there fancy degrees and hi IQs and shit.
Looking at the numbers that charlatans like Joel Osteen draw in, I’d say your 99.99% figure is off. I mean, I guess they aren’t quite like Bakker, but they aren’t far off if they’re following Osteen and the other “prosperity gospel” garbage preachers. There are a LOT of those kinds of “Christians.” At least with…
I remember an old story about the filming of Ben Hur. Stephen Boyd and Gore Vidal agreed the only way for the strained relationship between the Ben Hur and Messala to make any sense is if Massala was a scorned lover. But they never bothered to inform Heston. So there’s Boyd on screen acting up a storm with his…
I wish the Picard facebook group I am in would have these types of discussions in it. Instead we get people bitching that Picard is too old, that there’s not enough space battles, and that people wearing sunglasses or struggling with alcoholism are “not canon” or are “not realistic” for the Star Trek future.
