That said, after the 10th or 11th joke, I wanted to slap Jimmy Carr. I get it, Jimmy. She was in Star Wars. We all know she was in Star Wars.

I like how BBC says they're running a Star Trek TNG marathon, when that's pretty much their regular schedule...

I feel awful playing on hand-crafted maps. The idea that every tree was put there with intent makes me feel like crap for digging or cutting wood or anything.

Oh my god, you realise what this means?

The thing is, none of this makes electronic voting a bad idea. It makes electronic voting a problem with a lot of hurdles to overcome. After all, you start out the video pointing out that physical voting, too, has its weaknesses. And that attempt after attempt has been made to defraud the system. And that, over…

Yeah its such a dumb idea, its like if someone came and said "Wouldn't it be a good idea to make a movie about Lego's?"... oh wait?

Do it in three Kinja comments :)

The entire point of the Curiosity rover is actually to make an interplanetary golf course for the extremely wealthy.

Well they give you the tools for free.

The diagram of the ship shows that it's clearly an Orion-type, propelled by nukes- ol' Bang-Bang himself. The diagram even looks to be a pretty direct copy of some of Project Orion's schematics. If you're going to posit an early 60s massive, colony-type ship, it's a pretty good choice- the design work was done in…

-World-creating/world destroying missile never to be heard from again

You also forgot about Transwarp Engines, they actually built the USS Excelsior around that technology, and a couple small pieces removed by Mr. Scott disabled the ship and the tech was never used again (Transwarp was handwaived away in some Trek novels, but I don't consider spin-off media canon).

Those are much like the series, though, in having an episodic approach, and given that it's not just six movies but ten movies and several hundred episodes, we really wouldn't want all of them to return all the time. Frankly, we already saw the returns of a surprising number of adversaries and weird space phenomena,…

See the positive side. The mods will not appear from day to night. Maybe you can't play the PC version at launch, but when you can, you'll have options if you want to experience what the mod community will do to the game.

"Even if emergency procedures have been initiated before abandoning the plants, thus terminating fission in the core and ceasing the production of electricity, there are still the hundreds of thousands of tons of nuclear scrap that require storage and constant cooling."

and the idea of a new hero coming from within the ranks of storm troopers (yeah maybe its not completely novel) sounds incredible. #123arntcanon

"pleasantly surprised" doesn't cut it. I was staunchly guarded right up until they showed the storm trooper who wasn't a clone, and I thought, "oh, I am still eight and ridiculously pumped up for MORE STAR WARS!!!!

This is true. They could operate the elevators more akin to subways where the elevators are constantly moving and always make a stop at every door, yet somehow still get you quicker to where you need to go than if you had to call for one and wait for it to arrive at your door.

I'm actually pleased they don't show up - it hints that they are confident enough that this movie can stand on its own without having to focus entirely on the nostalgia. And it hints that they old cast have supporting roles and won't overshadow the important players.

Replace the ricochet sounds with bass guitar strums or piano key taps and you have yourself a winner.
