Fascinating author to have written that quote.

“They used to say if man could fly, he’d have wings... but he did fly. He discovered he had to. Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn’t reached the moon, or that we hadn’t gone on to Mars or the nearest star? That’s like saying you wish that you still operated with scalpels and sewed your patients up with…

It’s about who lives, who dies, who tells your story....

Aside from the fact that the 1983 Dead Zone movie is kind of iffy, there’s the small fact that it’s very hard to watch if you’re a fan of the West Wing, especially the bit where he grabs the kid. Kind of like when <redacted> <redacted> <redacted> in Dollhouse.

The point of Tim Kaine, over someone say Elizabeth Warren, is quite clear.

Opps, we’ll need more of those Precious, Special Gold Stars for Precious, Special Snowflakes here!

Anyone have the pack of Precious, Special Gold Stars for Precious, Special Snowflakes handy?

She wore red and the bull couldn’t help but charging...

For one, Garak would have a had *much* more elegant way to deal with Kosh2.

You are correct; the error a lot of people make is assuming that Moonlight is about how badass Sisko is. It isn’t. It’s an episode that is profoundly anti-war, a visceral display of just what it will do to good people

What made DS9 great is that you could believe that this utopia was down the stony road we are currently on. What’s really great is how episodes that might have seen ham handed when the series first came out now seem prescient. Past Tense and Bar Association make a hell of a lot more sense now, and show how just…

Brooks is proof that when you Shatner with the right level of gravity, it turns into pure magic; also I think that the lightly social Sisko is what gives enraged Sisko his effect. It’s not the usual grim-dark-y grim dark for the sake of grim dark; its an angry, righteous man.

Then you should be more clear! If you find disagreement triggering, merely say so, and a lot of us will be happy to oblige the stress you feel from being disagreed with.

While I think you meant determination, I also think that you’ve offered the most succinct description of the Puppies’ voters and what parts of their motivations aren’t simple racism.

We don’t flame, but there are often robust differences of opinion. It’s not always the place for people whose emotional delicacy or fragility has them preemptively talking about needing “flame shields” to protect them from a mythic party line.

File 770 had put something up indicating that most of the short fiction were puppy picks, either of their own putrid manufacture, or picking better works as human shields.

I think he put it on so he do the preferred thing of basement dwellers everywhere of laughing about how he planned all this in a Xanatos gambit as he brushes the Chetoo dust off his chin.

Look at the related works, or Space Raptor Butt Invasion. I think all the beneficiaries of Teddy’s boosting need an asterisk, unless they, like Reynolds, ask to be taken off. He has works equating homosexuality to pedophilia in there.

Misayndry, also know as the word men threatened by women being treated as people use to describe... women who ask to be treated like people.

Look at the short fiction, related works, and fan-writers. Below the big categories, there is a lot of puppy-chow.
