This is off topic, but I have always appreciated your posts. That star is certainly still well-deserved, even though they no longer award them. You definitely add to to the community here (versus myself who just lurks and rarely ever posts).

Really for me, there is only ONE true Captain Marvel, but now DC wants to call him Shazam....I miss some big red cheese...

Ok, I gotta slug through it then. Those episodes are stuck on my DVR because I just can't get through it. I know how the Sofia search ends, so I guess I just need to get through it to get to the good stuff. I had considered dropping the show altogether, but now I guess I will watch on... Thanks for letting us know…

I agree with you, serenada. Supernatural is still the only show I make dedicated time to watch. It isn't at its peak (and I think that is just due to how awesome the story line in seasons 4 and 5 was—it is difficult to top Armageddon), but I still enjoy it. The episode where Bobby gets his soul back, Dean as Death…

Maybe he was originally part of the Flash's Rogues, so he didn't make the cut here? Not sure though...off to Wikipedia...he appears to be originally Flash's nemesis.

Rudy is Sean Astin. He plays a young man who wants nothing more than to play football for Notre Dame. He is too small to play, but he has tons of heart. It is based upon a true story. I liked it.

I have used this before. On a whiteboard, you try to keep your elbow as the "center" of the compass and swing your arm to create the majority of the circle. You have to move you elbow a little bit, but with some practice (16 years of teaching Geometry), you can draw pretty great circles. Invariably, some has heard…

That is a good comment. You also have to wonder if the mindset of the Federation has changed a little since Vulcan was destroyed along with a lot of other stuff. In many of the books and some of the tv shows (TNG on if I recall correctly), it seems that there was always this discussion of whether the Federation was…

Wow. That looks interesting! I haven't seen last Friday's yet (hope to catch up tonight). Unfortunately, I leave on vacation Friday morning, and I doubt I get to see it before we get back in 2 weeks. But the DVR will have it, so I am good.

He is shortening what is called a proof by contradiction, where we assume the opposite of what we are trying to proof and show that our assumption can't possibly be true.

To my knowledge, not usually. I vaguely remember reading that this means they are 720p capable, but not 1080p capable. I think it is more of a marketing trick so that you pay attention to the bigger number.

I wonder how much the popularity of Mad Men played into the making of X-men First Class. I hadn't put it together before, but I wonder if Fox (or whomever owns the rights) saw the popularity of that show and said, "Let's do this with mutants." Of course, it doesn't hurt having back stories of two of the most popular…

That is a great point. I saw Wrath of Khan way before ever seeing Space Seed and I understood that this was some adversary from the past. I didn't quite understand the nuances of Khan's wife dying like I do now, but I understood that Khan had revenge on his mind for something he thought Kirk had done wrong. I am…

Looks like a small rectangular room with projectors on each of the 3 walls. I worked in a theater where one of the rooms was probably close 25 feet wide (it was the smallest theater and got the movies once they had been there about 3 or 4 weeks already).

We'd have to start pronouncing the name of this website with a soft "g" instead of the the hard "g".

I thought it was the Sith version of the Mind Trick. It's called Mind Dominate or something on the KOTOR games, I think.

That was incredibly cute!

Yeah, but I thought Marvel treated it as if the first existed, they just didn't expand upon any of those story lines.

I don't think so. Kevin Kline is great, but I think he would have come off a little bit "hamming it up" in that roll. I sort of felt like Anthony Hopkins hammed it up a little in Thor.

Is it bad that I read that in Dr. Doofenschmirtz voice?
