It's been quite a while since I played either KotOR, but didn't the Ebon Hawk have highlights about that shade of red, while the Falcon is more...dingy white? At best, I think we're seeing a vessel of a similar class, but it's probably just a fake, or a fan film effect.

Maybe a clever way of saying God is all in your head.

So they're falling back on "remember that amazing moment in the first movie? Please give us money."

Not reading, writing. It's NaNoWriMo, goshdarnit. However, once the month ends, and I'm tired of seeing my own words vomited out like the results of a college binge party, I'm going to begin The Causal Angel, as I read its predecessors immediately before the month began.

Why does China's answer to Avatar have a shit ton of white people?

Aside from not spoiling the fate of Groot, delaying the product release serves an interesting secondary purpose: it keeps the IP fresh in the minds of consumers.

Did the movie get into the really awful Queen of the Damned film?

This episode, and this situation in particular, is also the source of one of my favorite lines of all time, also from Jack: "The pleasure was all mine. And in the end, that's the only thing that matters."

But that's genuinely the most sensible plan anyone ever comes up with in any of those books.

Damn, Rob!

It's one of the mutations from Prometheus!

In either case, we're discussing technicalities of meaning, and that makes the original intent of my post pretty obviously true: that episode doesn't belong on this list.

Indeed, I've always assumed the line was there because they had already established that a Time Lord could receive a new set of regenerations by this point in the series, so it essentially opened up the possibility for the future, without forcing it to occur at any specific point.

Now playing

Wow, Doctor who twice, of course I have to show up. The understanding of Trial of a Time Lord always seems problematic with io9 writers, and I've never understood why. Here's the clip that discusses the Valeyard's eventual appearance:

It's actually fairly tactful that they aren't overplaying the "Staring Robin Williams" angle.

It annoys me to no end that people talking about Westerfeld always mention the somewhat lackluster Uglies rather than Evolution's Darling and the Succession books.

The composer for Star Trek had a sense of humor, the name of the tune during that scene is "Enterprising Young Men."

Ignoring the story completely, the Narada was gorgeous, in a Lovecraftian sense.

That's so fucking terrible it's going to make Rise of the Silver Surfer look brilliant by comparison.
