I do worry that it's Rory who is the Good Man.

Thor sucketh not.

As Puns-n-Roses suggested, it's part of the manifestation of the will. And as anyone who has ever tried to alter their behaviour through willpower would show, using your imagination to envision the outcome to direct the willpower makes it a heck of a lot easier. This is why Green Lanterns don't just create lasers…

So when we say, the world's tallest man or the world's biggest diamond should we always put a caveat that he's the tallest known man or the biggest recorded diamond? In our knowledge the the hottest in the galaxy. There could well be hotter out there in which case we will strip poor WASP-12b of it's guiness galactic…

China Mieville writes standalone stuff.

You know, all this makes me think is how awesome season 3 of The Sarah Connor Chronicles would have been showing us the future war with Derek, John and Alison side by side vs the machines.

He may have more WWII adventures that we don't see before his freezing. Best would be a story that bounced into flashback and had an adventure in both time periods.

I really hope that the Master under Moffat will be a bit less manic. Loved the casting of Simm, but RTD's direction was too over the top. A more focused Master to balance the more erratic Doctor would be brilliant - Cumberbatch could be that or Simm could have calmed down now that's he's avenged being psychically…

KJA's whole problem was escalation - he had to introduce a Jedi more powerful than Luke who could beat him in about five minutes. Then he resurrected all the characters from his comics and makes them even more powerful again. Plus - he doesn't really understand how to build adventure without pulling out higher power…

Yep, definitely Tim Zahn's Thrawn trilogy (bring re-released for it's 20th annivery this year). For some classic stuff find Brian Daley's Han Solo Trilogy and Splinter of the Mind's Eye by Alan Dean Foster (originally written as the cheaper alternative to Empire Strikes Back). Then work your way around from there.

has been hired to write the script based on Dragonflight, the first book in McCaffrey's 22-book series.

This may help explain things:

Maybe there can be a scene where V'ger has a suggested romance with Uhura?

he does, however, spend much of the movie without the hammer.

It's really weird rereading the books after seeing these clips because all my mental images have now been overwritten with the actors, as the casting is so good.
