Can’t say I blame Jarvis. LA really is a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

If you read the books you’ll know even the Federation used credits. McCoy famously bought RNA language course in Vulcan with his own credits so he can argue against secession in person and in the local tongue.

There’s private property, but with such expansive energy sources and worlds open for colonization, it’d only be an issue if every race was dead set on living on the Federation homeworlds. There’s no money, but there are credits (exchanged for labor and used for non-replicable luxury goods, like art, basically). This…

Yeah, that’s kind of one of the problems they dance around - the Picard family vineyard; Captain Sisko’s father’s restaurant, how the Starfleet personnel pay for stuff on Deep Space Nine, etc. - how do people pay for these things? (Especially the restaurant, cuz I’m sure he’s not using a replicator - Sisko winds up…

It was actually a parody of the Klan, and in the end Mork transformed all of them into different races (including several Star-Trek-style ‘people in face paint’ aliens).

Yeah, there’s a whole section about that in the “oral history” article, going up in an hour or two. :)

Hardcore. That movie is fucked up.

Nope, it won’t work on me. Flimsy posters and nostalgia over a movie older then me isn’t going to get me to go thea....

i’m exaggerating a bit but, for me, that ‘process’ looked a bit like this!

What is this? A room for ants?!

... this is why I think some films from the 70’s and 80’s, with use of miniture probs, still have better visuals than films produced today.

I know this is supposed to be shocking with the swastika on the flag and all, But all I keep seeing is Mystery Science Theater 30000.

Wow, this sounds fucking terrible. The future sucks.

“Hey Nick, come here and look at this. The ignition is off, the transmission’s in neutral. This car was pushed into the lake; our accident just turned into murder.”

Not at all like the dressing room on the prequels:

Why is this special? Hasn't John Malkovich made dozens of movies no one has bothered to see yet?

A very comprehensive list. I would also like to put in a vote for Dr. Theopolis from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Dude’s basically just a necklace for another artificial intelligence.

Was waiting for the ship to appear - never did.

It seems awfully convenient that we're just now reinterpreting the results of this experiment to perfectly match our current social issue du jour.
