I never served, but the unalloyed worship of service members has always bothered me. Mainly because the kids I knew in high school who joined were pretty evenly divided between gung ho patriotic guys that went on to good careers in the military (and who deserve thanks for their service), and guys that had to choose…

Beautiful

Starred for the perfect WKRP in Cincinnati callback.

Although my time in the military wasn’t too bad and I served with some great people, I also served with PLENTY of really f*cked up individuals for whom the service was a last resort in terms of finding some order, structure, and stability in their off-kilter life. It’s time for the general public to admit that not…

When reached for comment, the soldier stated: “As God as my witness, I thought Humvees could fly”.

What the hell were they using to record that? 1920s film camera?

Yeah, it’s a shame they didn’t make any more... /s

And will the new trilogy come close to having the pop culture impact of the original film?

Yah I really would have appreciated asshole/business Hammond from the book to be more prevalent. It would have give a lot more context to many of the decisions and shortcuts the park made that resulted in the disaster.

I wish Nedry was given a bit more of his backstory from the book in the film. He wasn’t so much evil as Hammond kind of screwed him over monetarily. But that would require us to paint Hammond in a bit more of a negative light, instead of the lovable, eccentric, kinda sexist grandpa the movie gave us.

Easy: “The Girl in the Fireplace”

All you need is this screen capture.

I count DS9's “The Visitor” as my single favorite episode not just of the series, but of all of Trek. I have not had the courage to watch it since my father passed away in 2010, however.

For the sheer fun of pew-pew spaceships and whatnot, there’s Be All My Sins Remember’d.

I have so much more but memorable ones. These 2 comes to mind.

In the Pale Moonlight is such a good choice. With that one taken, I think I’ll have to go with Babylon 5, Severed Dreams. Captain Sheridan has seceded Babylon 5 from the Earth Alliance and it becomes the rallying point for Earthforce Captains who have refused to obey illegal orders that are in violation of the…

Although I also love “In the Pale Moonlight”, I’d have to go with “Deconstruction of Falling Stars” in Babylon 5 if we’re talking all-time favorites.

The way they extrapolate the impact of the whole show over the course of hundreds, then thousands, of years in a series of vignettes is exceedingly well-done, and serves…

One of my favorite episodes ever is Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - “Trials and Tribbleations”.
Not only is it just a fun episode, the amount of work that went into matching period specific costumes, hair, fighting styles, cinematography, etc was fantastic.

The one where Sisko is an olden-timey pulp writer is also an amazing bottle episode from DS9, with a likewise stellar performance from Brooks. I don’t know if it’s my favorite, but it’s the one I always remember first.

Seriously. That’s a lot of work for a nap.
