Harcourt Fenton Mudd (lovable space pirate rogue) surely needs a reboot as much as any aspect of trek needs a reboot, yes? (“which is to say: no”)

How are we defining “cult”? (it used to just refer to something hidden from view) Must it end in horrible suffering? (like The Spanish Inquisition (which no one expects)?) Or must be somehow end in the demise of nearly all of them? (and as such isn’t Scientology, but might include the Shakers?) They all have grievous…

believeability now totally trumps truth. this fake news news is fake news. you want some real news? Melania was born a man - it’s true! and when “she” illegally started working illegally in the states as an illegal “she” was a declared Muslim - it’s a fact! cuz i read it on both facebook and reddit.

Yet more support for the invalidity of the trump presidential win? and therefore..? nothing will be done, republicans will certainly not impeach ‘their own’, no matter how overtly corrupt, the whitehouse will become the center of the world’s greatest robber baron, and the film Idiocracy will become a cautious…

The strange parallels reached some local maximum around the novel “Aftermath” and “Rebels”. Supposedly one main Star Wars film between them, but every character and plot situation repeated almost exactly - with some name changes. It feels like we’ve hit some threshold level of pre-fab scifi parallel concurrent reboots.

Freely proclaiming my cluelessness, how is this funny, or more in-yer-face, than sticking any other billionaire on a gizmodo t-shirt? And wouldn’t Peter Thiel make about a billion times more sense in that regard?

Notice that this reviewer is suffering from the antiquated notion that providing frequent dazzling special effects can not eclipse bad basic plot/character development. One has to strive to think like an average fifteen year old (boy), and all these bad feelings dissolve away in inward cheers of “no way!” and “awwright…

Some fine journalist with an unswerving faith in polling ought to maintain an oft-posting of: “ok, now that trump has amitted to ditching that main shouting point, what percentage of Cletuses (Cleti?) remain happy they voted for him”? (“you clueless @#$ libtard you! how dare you politically-incorrect characterize all…

You-all do realize that if any (on-line) discussion of Hitler continues long enough the probability of a comparison to trump will be assured?

If a president elected from the Democratic party had a fraud case settled against them the republicans would utilize that to commence immediate impeachment proceedings.

The linguist has been a staple of scifi since the first aliens. Need an old example? How about Walter Pigeon’s character in Forbidden Planet?

How about a set of bullet points giving us the differences and corresponding character tropes between “Rogue one” and “Rebels” and “Aftermath” (...and possibly ‘Farscape’ and ‘Firefly’)

By which we come to understand “at the same dang time” to be quite some time indeed.

It ought to be blathered that Giger, the main Alien art director and inspiration, was a student of biology, underscoring those corners which strike us as most frightful, and not the reverse. That is, the butterfly has the “prior art”.

There are voices from China (industrialists? government? is there a difference?) who are saying that if trump-ian trade tariffs are imposed there will be no iPhone sales. This sort of action will be the deciding issue whether that fact is politically camouflaged or not.

he’s in all manner of such dubious sites, (don’t think he stops with twitter, do you?). but the FBI is there for him like The Wolf/Harvey Keitel’s character. why does the FBI owe him such efforts?

my “mean you’re intelligent” which does not exactly equal “make you intelligent” would be judged by any bar trivia night judge to be acceptable even before he had his fifth beer. that is, a little fuzzy matching, if you please.

What if you’re only armed with fresh fruit? (busily constructing the matrix of all common household tasks and inappropriate objects to deal with them)

The electoral college has spoken!: we would prefer that China transcend us in every possible substantive fashion.

“Open channel D” forever for the most accessible of The (original western) Magnificent Seven.
