I see what you did there.

Started reading the excerpt, but when I got to “The dull metal corridors and paths were lit by only a few crimson lights, and parts of it were so tight she barely managed to squeeze through without ripping her dress” I had to stop.

Who came first? Sana or Leia?

You mean like adding Bruce Wayne to Gotham?

Spock and Uhura

“down our throats”

Don’t make me do the math, but L1-3 are unstable equilibria. Because of outside gravitational forces, objects placed there require station-keeping thrusters to maintain position. L4 and L5 are stable equilibria so objects placed there will orbit in a vaguely bean-shaped orbit. L4 and L5 positions are so stable that…

L4 and L5 are the most stable as they are “wells” as opposed to “bumps” like Ls 1 - 3.

D & B in Nashville has one - and as good as it is, boy can you get space sick fast :)

I was one of those kids that waited FOREVER for the figures to arrive - and the X Wing took even longer. C3PO wasn’t part of the original set, but I got him shortly thereafter. My original Stormtrooper and blue Bespin guard are around here somewhere.

Wrong Bowser.

While I’m in favor of this ban - what police department needs such heavy equipment - you also have to ask this: When was the last time someone was shot by police with an assault rifle?

Willful Child by Steven Erikson. I’m pushing my way through the book despite its shortcomings. While I enjoy Ericsson’s writing, this one is a bit too forced.

Why isn’t there a snarky “boo000” option on Kinja?

How do you know that it isn’t roverbots? Hmmmm.

Finally! Someone that remembers Bilestoad. I spent way too many hours playing that, Bolo and Gato.

Thank you! I was reading all the comments thinking "you're hitting all around it." It seems logical that the helicarrier would be hiding in plain sight.

First thought: Channing Tatum as a soldier? Meh.

Past performance is not indicative of future ... yada yada

I think leaning towards TV is a bit of a stretch given the quote above. Lean the other way, and it could be read that they are making a movie.
