Was it a pay dispute, or was it Alley not wanting to deal with Star Trek fans anymore?

Saavik. That name comes up and it makes me a little sad, every time. The character was supposed to have an arc over the movies (the top-level production staff for the movies had grand ideas). It was either implied or outright stated in the novelizations that she was preggers with David’s child (end of III, start of IV)

If anybody could turn a concept into production without making a lot of changes it would be Audi. The TT concept and the TT production cars almost looked as if they were simply the kind of evolution you see in a model over time, rather than the accountants hacking away all sense of fun.

I had to dig deep in the recesses of IT obscurity to remember that Quattro Pro wasn’t the racing version of Audi’s famed drive train system.

When I’m about to add a second baby seat, but don’t want to have the MiL with us (that’s what the Odyssey is for).

As an aside, I read this one to my wife over the weekend. She got a good laugh out of it.

Name checks out.

Pfft. Firefly is Alien Resurrection 2.0, I thought everybody knew this.

If we ever meet in real life I want you to remember what you said. I’ll remember to bring a bucket.

Or have wives who are so great at managing money that they get approval from said wives for purchases like this.

Do you have the details? I’m looking at putting together all my old kits now that I’m in a house.

Keeps their hair under control, even if the artificial gravity fails.

I’m not that mean to my wife. Coming up on double-digit anniversaries and I still don’t want her to do my laundry. I mean, I know where it’s been and what’s it done.

This isn’t the last century. We don’t care what goes on in bedrooms anymore.

People forget their Costco cards? Why? How? This...this doesn’t compute!

I too find that the prices at the local grocery chains will beat Costco when the grocery items go on sale. But they’re not always on sale. So prices will be compared, and three weeks out of the month Costco will still be the better price.

I’ve seen $0.40/gal price differences between the Costco pumps and the other gas stations in the area. I don’t care how long I’m idling, I’m saving the money. Though...the local Costco just opened their second-expansion-in-six-years gas island last weekend. So hopefully the waiting will be less.

Getting a studio to pay for your buddies to come, hang out, do a little thing in front of the cameras? James Gunn is doing a full Adam Sandler with this flick.

This. A thousand times this. Going to SCOTUS is Dominos telling the feds to get off their collective asses and do what should have been done a long time ago.
