Reminds me of CDZA's "Epic Key Changes": https://www.youtube.com/wat…

And here I was about to post "Call him a Nazi, he won't even frown, 'Ah, Nazi, schmazi' says Werner von Braun."

A latter-day L&O/Homicide crossover.

The story I heard was that they were planning to do just that in 2001, with a story about a terrorist act in New York City…but they shelved it for obvious reasons.

Glad to see I wasn't the only one who, once the poison was identified as metallic, went "holy shit, mercury!"

Zahn himself weighed in on the "Disney Delete" question a little while ago, in a Reddit AMA. As I'm not about to link to Reddit for my own sanity, here's a summary from Tor.com:

Given the tangled legal status of the Monopoly trademarks (which are probably far more at issue than copyrights; the graphics on the Monopoly standard set are copyrighted, but this is really the domain of trademark law, for things like the "Monopoly" name and the board layout), as represented by the Anti-Monopoly Game…

That was how I heard it—he called her "bump-head," she objected, and he said "OK, fine, odango-atama [bun-head]." Future occurrences will probably stick to bun-head.

Hell, somebody with more time and stamina than me is probably writing a recap of this episode in rhyme.

My thought exactly: clearly the writers wanted to erase any ambiguity from Dukat, to make him evil once and for all.

it’s a shame Xanth's pervasive magic doesn’t include Internet porn.

While the metaphor is never explicit, [Jack and company] are largely interesting for the way they represent paths Bashir might have gone down…

The #rain in #Spain stays mainly on the #plain, where it can be better tracked and subjected to SEO.

Point 2: No, B4 survived to be visited by Delenn and Sheridan, as seen in the comic "In Valen's Name."

If Aaron Sorkin is making a show, I want to be watching that show. His kind of dialogue, his way of constructing scenes, arrests my attention and delights my senses.
