Fled his home to avoid being recruited as a child soldier...

That is some seriously pretty countryside.

At $130 it’s priced more for Star Trek fans and older toy collectors.

At the speeds that object was traveling, it’s amazing how short a distance 120 miles is.

Actually, the no-money thing showed up first in Star Trek 4

Freaking out that Elon Musk might be an alien is, I guess, a gizmodo thing. Jalops are more interested in his cars, and io9 is simply happy that at last there’s someone out there doing all the Golden Age (of SciFi) stuff they themselves don’t have the money to pull off.

At its most fundamental level, Enterprise doesnt exist in TOS canon because you cannot see any prior (from the viewers perspective) indicator of the vessels existence. In Picard’s ready room, one can see profile models of previous ships of the name, going back to CVN-65. On the walls of the rec room aboard the freshly…

It...it looks like a cross-over made from a Nissan Pulsar hatchback and an 80's vintage Camero. I kinda like it, and feel terrible for doing so.

The cleanup from Zombie Events is just the worst...

Theres potential for some nice SciFi fanfic in answering that question.

The theme music for my high school experience. College was great, but middle and high school were just the worst and most wasted years of my life...

GAAAH! WHYYYY Jason? I thought you were a better writer than to use the phrase “one of the only”. The phrase is internally contradictory, and its use suggests to me that the person employing it is not paying attention to what they are doing. (Alternatively, they are ignorant, and need to (re)take high school English,…
