Re: Justice in early Starfleet
Don't ask me why I automatically assumed this but I always thought that if someone got "spaced" they'd suffocate and be frozen almost right away. So they'd be a like corpse in a freezer. Well, best description I've gotten is that it's more like a living person in a combination of a low-ef...

Re: Justice in early Starfleet
And on a "why real physics are rarely used in space shows" note, fun fact: the amount of air expelled from your average movie airlock is nowhere near large enough to cause any kind of expulsion the way it always happens in TV shows and movies. More likely is that the guy will die a slow d...

Re: Justice in early Starfleet
That is SO disgusting. I'm not sure why it makes me giggle. :roll: My work here is done! *dramatic music plays as I gather my cape and fly off into the distance...or something* Anyway, for a more horrifying and slightly more realistic look at someone being spaced, there's the infamous scene in Even...

Re: Wonky Science: Hybrids in Startrek
...this reminds me, I've heard plenty of fans state and read plenty of fanfics where it's mentioned in the writer's notes that the first official human/Vulcan couple was Sarek/Amanda and that he was the first human/Vulcan hybrid, but where exactly *is* that said, canonically (discounting games and b...

Re: Fancy meeting YOU here!
Tim Russ on Suits he's ageless. He was the only good thing about that Christina Applegate show with the amnesiac girl who was a downright *insert term for very unpleasant person here* befre she lost her memory ("Samantha Who?" it was called). He played her building doorman, IIRC, and a wo...

Re: What are you...
Well Robin Hood is one of the most incredible stories because it HAS evolved over many centuries. The very first incarnation Robin Hood was a selfish trickster, conman, highwayman, and all around sleeze. Maid Marian first appears in the tales as a whore! Every incarnation is an evolution based of t...

Re: What are you...
Enjoy your rest, I have no idea why but on my TV today there is every crappy version of Robin Hood ever made. I'm in agony here. Kevin Costner's is rediculous (he didn't even try to have an accent) Russel Crow's is just dreary and depressing, and SYFY had a version on last night with some kind of f...

Re: "Find The Glitch" drabble challenge
Thanks for the defense but I don't need it. I know I can't spell, my punctuation is a nightmare, and my grammar is horrible. I once read an interview wherein a famous author said. "I make the charaters and the plots, the technical stuff is the reason I have an editor." I live by that. Wel...

Re: CX anime reviews
Which is kind of a troll at the NGE crowd. ;) True. Considering it was made by pretty much the same people (Gainax made both NGE and TTGL after all), it can be said to be Gainax going "No, no, no...you guys are as bad as those guys who thought Watchmen was good because of the sex and violence,...

Re: CX anime reviews
And I actually viewed Gurren Lagann as a troll in much the same way I did Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt . I also found the trolling to be entertaining, because I'm that kind of guy. Really? It's pretty obviously meant in good fun, considering the basic message of the show is "screw nihi...

Re: OT: Beauty and the Beast - We are not alone!
I hated that they killed off Catherine too, but they probably wanted to continue making money even after Linda left... :dunno: A lot of TV shows have bad endings, or non-endings, where the fans can come up with better closures. As I'm rewatching the new Battlestar Galactica at the moment, I'd mostl...

Re: CX anime reviews
The thing is, if the intent is to make the people the audience is watching unlikable, then why would anyone want to watch it? There has to be something entertaining there, and people whining isn't entertaining. Take, for example, Riddick from Pitch Black - there is nothing likable about that charac...

Re: Worst analogies ever written in a high school essay
"Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever." Do I smell irony? :lol: "Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like 'Second Tall Man'." That's actually rather clever! :lol: ...sometimes I thin...
