Well, now we’re jumping topics, but I’m going to disagree with you on your assessment of Star Trek. The worst are “All of the TNG ones”. Generations was almost a movie, First Contact was an actual movie, but coupled with trite dialogue, stupid plotting, and really bad direction, it’s actually really bad. It’s the best…

Am I the only one that found the episode really hard to follow? I mean, I’ve read the books, and I knew everything that was going to happen, and I was still having a hard time keeping the characters straight, the sequences in order, etc. I think a big part of it was the editing- I think the editing on this episode was …

I don’t disagree, entirely, but there’s one important factor you have to remember about the OT: nothing like it had ever been put to film before. I don’t mean the story or the characters, which are nothing special. I certainly don’t mean the dialogue. But film has always lent itself to spectacle and never before had…

Here’s my prediction: the movie will be an enjoyable but ultimately forgettable romp that is beloved more because of the nostalgia it brings out in the audience than because of any merits of the film itself. It will be well liked, and since it avoids the pitfalls that ruined the new trilogy (Jar-Jar, annoying kids,…

I say he should be Indian. Import a Bollywood star with strong English, and voila. Nobody’s happy.

I really want to try it. I’ll probably fall, but it looks like so much fun.

But strict pullups are hardly an isolation exercise. They’re hitting a huge number of muscle groups, from your core to your back, shoulders and chest, and obviously arms.

what’s better than situps for stretching

I’m a big fan of HIIT. It’s efficient, and while you want to up your rep count, you’re focused on getting as many good reps as possible.

He had longer than that! He started building his fandom in 1978… even if we don’t like to talk about that.

Me too! God, that was the dullest, most annoying section of anything ever. I nearly died watching that, just from the sheer lack of stimulation.

Creating large biodomes in space is fraught with problems

Well, you’re an optimist. I don’t think either of your sentences are true.

If there isn’t, then why? That’s the critique that Hossfelder was bringing up. They knew ahead of time that the experiment wasn’t going to show anything interesting.

“Let’s do an experiment to show that relativity is bunk and Newton had it right the first time. Here’s my proposed method, and it just costs $3M!”

Most scientists would be against doing that experiment, not because they’re worried about the results, but they’d hate to see $3M spent on nothing.

But we haven’t gotten any good Batman stories out of the Arkham games. They’re great games (I mean, once they’re patched up to actual functional status), but their stories are incoherent nonsense.

Well, where there’s no weather. Hats are really useful when there’s no sun, since many times, there’s no sun because it’s raining.

So, here’s my question: are there any MOBAs out there for non-competitive gamer? I’m the sort of person that loves playing L4D games in campaign mode, but hates playing any of the competitive modes. My favorite board games are things like Arkham Horror and Fortune And Glory (co-op mode).

Why are the US covers always such utter shit? Seriously.
