Chapter 28 (yes, the whole chapter) of The Restaurant at the End of the Universe is pretty good, though, I usually summarize it when I’m quoting, and I rarely have to get to the point where they’re talking about Galactic presidents before my point is made:

Carpe Jugulum has what’s probably my favorite (or at least, most referenced):

England prevails!

South Park already taught me that lesson.

This needs to be expanded to all the “great” sci-fi sports, like the “martial art” Riker and his father compete in, or the low-gravity hockey/lacrosse/football thing from the Bane episode of Batman Beyond. Nonsense space football is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to ludicrous sci-fi sports.

Calling it now. Toothless Symbiote. It’s the only acceptable explanaion for that face.

To smeg with The Winds of Winter, I want to know when we’re getting this one:

No! I demand padding! Give me the Game of Thrones equivalent of “Black Market” or give me death! /sarcasm

Did not know this, but according to the Wikipedia link someone else shared, one of the Horatio Hornblower novels had a ship named after the biblical character, so I can both be not wrong that there’s something fictional it’s referencing while not snarking on the bible as fiction even though I came in thinking it had…

Once the Witch of Endor became a prominent ship in book 6, I just assumed fiction from our universe was going to bleed into naming conventions of ships in their universe.

That was amusing, and the off-brand GLaDOS voice was a nice touch. A for effort, AI.

I’m still waiting for someone who makes key decisions on X-men movies to join me in having this opinion about Beast. I demand not-blue Hank McCoy!

Manuel Bothans should be a character.

Was thinking some sort of chili verde or tomatillo salsa m’self.

Long hiatuses killing show viewership? Dr. Nicholas Rush, Eli Wallace, and the uploaded consciecness of Zoe Graystone have no idea what you’re talking about…

“Movie-goers looking for spectacle and violence will likely be disappointed to discover the film’s biggest action scene is Louise deconstructing a sentence.”

$10.00 says this is cited next April 1st as evidence for why you should totally believe some real-sounding Hollywood news outlet’s article about a Firefly revival.

I definitely saw some old “Making of Star Wars” video that included this sort of stuff, specifically that scene in the control room in A New Hope when they’re all trying to make a plan about rescuing Leia. A nice, British-accented Wookiee describing Ben Kenobi as “That man is insane,” was just too funny.

I’ve said it elsewhere, and I’ll say it again here: We got Demogorgon last season. I want the monster to be either Beholder or Rust Monster-inspired this time around!

I assume that wouldn’t be pronounced like “makes”, but how does one pronounce the “e” when romanizing Greek? Is the last syllable “keys” or “kays” or something else?
