I have a hard time believing that the Reich would trust former allied soldiers enough to give them high ranking SS posts with considerable power and access to sensitive state secrets.

The issue with Smith is that he was an American soldier before the war and somehow became an Obergruppenfuhrer in the Reich after it. Him accepting America's defeat and joining his conquerors is realistic (happens all the time throughout history). What isn't realistic is that he would then rise so high in their ranks.…

UC Berkeley was a major center of nuclear weapons research by the US government before and during WWII. Presumably in the show's alternate history the victorious Japanese took over the American labs there and continued their work.

I'd like to see Goldblum's dialogue in Jurassic Park updated to modern slang.

Stupid sexy Goldblum!

Jurassic Park perfectly illustrates the amazing entertainment potential of extinct species cloning.

Same. My immediate thought when I first saw the movie and the T-Rex did the sneak attack thing was "How the hell did they not know it was there? They had a whole scene earlier where they pointedly established that every footstep the T-Rex takes rattles the ground like an earthquake."

Jurassic Park: A Brian De Palma Film.

Better or worse than Jurassic World? (I've seen neither).

" it’s nowhere near as perfect as the actual ending"

First of all, LOL Fox News.

At an in-law's bachelor party a couple years ago, one of the groom's friends (a redneck from Texas) was giving me shit for drinking "imported" Yuengling (which he apparently thought was Chinese) and offered me one of his "real American" Lone Star Lagers.

Same. Before the prequels came out, when characters in the original trilogy made reference to the Clone Wars, I assumed that the Clones were an army the Emperor created as part of his evil rise to power over the objections of the Jedi and the Old Republic factions, and that it was one of the issues that triggered the…

One thing that always bugged me and was never explained/explored in the Star Wars prequels (but maybe was in the expanded universe?) was the moral implications of creating a massive army made entirely of cloned humans. It seemed like the only qualm the Senate had about creating the Clone Troopers was the existence of…

The Clinton Foundation was actually not dissolved. It continues to operate.

I would need a flow-chart to explain all of the holes in this common right wing conspiracy theory about Hillary and Russian "pay for play", but here's the short version of what actually happened:

Seriously. Who the fuck is Gruber's investment broker and how do I get in touch with him?

And water polo is the most popular sport in the world for some reason.

A half-dozen amnesiac orphans are shipped off to child soldier boarding school and hired as mercenaries to fight in a series of global wars secretly started by an evil witch from the future who uses time-travelling mind-control to free a bunch of monsters from space jail so that she can compress time into a…

Ah, the old false-equivalency fallacy. Politicians from both parties have occasionally had conflicts, therefore it doesn't matter the degree to which any one politician has a conflict because it's all equivalent. Donald Trump continuing to own a multi-billion-dollar, 500-company business empire stretching all over the…
