Yeah, on BSG it's very deliberate and is signposted.

Would there be any negative side effects to extinct-ifying (surely there's a better word for that) mosquitoes? They just seem to be flying assholes with yellow fever.

How is it that Malaria became interconnected with female mosquitoes? It seems odd how a disease can be carried only by a single specific insect, especially as it seems to have been around for millions of years.

So the "climate is obviously changing" but dealing with those changes is "political ideology."

"...why should Congress divert funds from the mission of our military and national security to support a political ideology."
I kept my composure until then. Holy fucking shit how can these people be that stupid. Why do these people still have their jobs. These are the same kinds of people that say that evolution is…

Its all a Satanic Illuminati conspiracy to give children abortions and turn them gay!!!

Anthropogenic climate change is a perfect storm of motivating inaction, because it's:
1) not an immediate deadly concern
2) not stoppable without global agreements
3) and some industries would be hurt by its solutions

Why do climate change deniers hate the troops?

Let me guess, Ugg wants to move the tribe to warmer areas to prepare for climate change. Yeah, sorry. No one believes you anymore alarmists. - Caveman killed by the Ice Age.

3000 years? Okay Mr. Dawkins, answer me this: how come the calender only has 2014 years on it?

You see about 3000 years ago God made a rainbow and promised he would never flood the world again, so climate change is just atheist plot to kill God. /s

But it feels so fucking good! (Full-grown adult, here.)

Thusly.

How to turn Star Trek into the next Marvel movie universe...

Don't.

Just try and make some good films that actually FEEL like Star Trek films, rather than exercises in box-ticking and excessive lens flare (I'm still blind in one eye, damn you!)

On one level, neat, but on another, in dubious taste. Imagine similar manipulation of footage of the invasion of Normandy, or of the napalming of a Vietnamese village.

Mute the sound, and watch it with a little Jeff Wayne.
