World War A(pe)?

Rrrrrose! (bad Sean Bean impression)

Legal in Texas! As long as they're all opposing genders!

We deserve their scorn. They sling the arrows of the just.

Does that mean that shortly after Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, they will take a nap until Evening of the Planet of the Apes?

The humor! The humor…

I would watch that. And giggle like a girl on nitrous oxide.

Half Past Noon on the Planet of the Apes

The answer is, of course, that nobody wins a battle between a gorilla & a helicopter.

All of what you say is predicated upon the premise that there exists an established industrial infrastructure that can manufacture the required tools, generate the power for the multiple factories, acquire & process the necessary materials, & assemble the parts according to a proven design.

That "dumb twist" was much more in keeping with the original novel.

Jack is Hari Seldon!
Section 31 is the Second Foundation!
It makes so much sense! The Federation will fall! The next Federation will rise in a thousand years!

But Colm Meaney should be O'Brien in 1984. You'd never suspect him, & he has experience playing guys with that name.

That would've been brilliant. She was the one the Dominion wanted to use all along! Our bold heroes were just passing through, while the real plot passed them by in the background…
