*START* - not "star" <—- and that's another thing...no more "edit" button!

Sorry to bother you with this...but this new comment format (which I don't like) is very confusing...and I don't see anyway to star a new discussion - just reply to one's already started. (I have Unbutu and that Cromium web browser, so maybe the problem lies there....?

So...they have _flying cars_ that (apparently) use some kind of anti-gravity...but anti-gravity airships - or even * dirigibles* - are out!? WTF!?

That would be nice...I can't even figure this new one out...(and why it's different on different devices....)

The holodecks and holosuites in Star Trek used force fields to create some "solid" objects (simulated people and things) - and actual replicated items for others (water, foods)...

Somebody owes me a LOT of back rent!

In the Japanese version it does transform!

^I dunno about to comics, but I know that in Superman: The Movie, Supes did break down and cry at one point...and I *liked* that about him...

Three (or four) words: "Genetically Modified Foods/Organisms".

As much as I love Cumberbatch, I think the actor who played opposite him as Jim MOriarity in "Sherlock" would make a better version of The Master...he's got that batsh*t crazy insane + pure evil vibe that Simm has/had...(Andrew Scott, I believe his name is)....

But I often find that when I mention this fact to people (in America) - who, ironically, find ANY form for forced female genital mutilation completely wrong - I am called "crazy" or and "extremist" or a "radical" and that it's "the parents to cut on their *boy's* genitalia. (Usually because that's how many…

Why not just genetically engineer chickens that are BORN without complete brains?

Saw that as a kid of around 6 - and on German TV so didn't understand the dialog - but didn't need to - that show gave me nightmares for *YEARS*!!! (They finally stopped around puberty - mostly. Lol.)

In 20XX-something, to test theories hinted at by the SSC, they build a giant super-conducting ring around the equator of the Moon...despite warning on the possibility of creating macro black hols and/or worm holes, the project - most expensive in mankind (which hinted at the promise of pathways to FTL and anti-gravity…

^Something like kinda this guy is working on: jefferywright.deviantart.com/art/Eagle-Transporter-Redux-160189136 <— but with black, curved widows instead - and I'd have kept the rest of the old design EXACTLY the same (probably) - not tried to add an angular look as this person did I personally fell that they are…

Obsessive Geek Alert:

So the new Star Wars series is gonna be "Star Wars: Caprica"...?

SeaQuest DSV season 2 - went from an attempt at a realistic science-based show about ocean exploration - with little educational wrap-up's real-life oceanographer by Bob Ballard explaining some of the science behind the episode- to craptastic cheesy dumbed down unrealistic dreck - we had giant crocodiles, time travel…

It will be interesting if nu-nu-BSG and "Blood Chrome" wind up showing at the same time...maybe b confusing to some audiences.

Yep "Diaspora" was mt first thought to! Greg Egan rocks!
