SG1 was good before all the farscape people started turning up I'm still annoyed that Carter wasn't made leader of the team After seeing a late episode of SG-1 one recent evening ("Bounty", an episode shamelessly cribbing from Grosse Pointe Blank ), I get the impression the casting of Ben...

I agree that The Motion Picture seemed to be more inventive and creatively mould breaking than the well produced, but on hindsight more creatively safe Into Darkness, even if the former movie was less successful at entertaining people on a superficial level and vanishing up its own backside.

I got mildly annoyed at how non-American foreigners were depicted in Independence Day.

I may see Chuck's review of TNG's "Timescape"

Jeez, another forum I frequent has been hack attacked by Islamic cyberterrorists. Also another forum was shut down for fear of hackers.

I'm still baffled at the idea of schools that have police officers. Are those police normally armed? Why are you baffled? Apart from the sensationalist spree school/college shootings that hit the media every 18 months or so, a lot of inner city schools are pretty damn rough with the gangsta culture...

I'm getting round to doing a Math test in the next few months and I'm getting butterflies in my tummies. Also I'm seriously contemplating going into some kind of art college.

Dyslexia to cure found?

Just making an awkward attempt at idle prattle.

He plays very nerdy boardgames living room set used by porno productions.

But would that be like backing Saddam 2.0?

The pitfall with Iraq was the Western armies rolling in, amazingly ignorant about everything in Iraq, abruptly dismantled the Baathist state, and failing to fill in the power vacuum quickly/efficiently enough. It's been a while since I last read Fiasco.

Patriotic? Yeah, it's stupid getting too tied into the successes and failures of a five hundred year old country populated by 70 million people, even if I get too irrational about historical stuff happening 50/100/300 years ago.

Powerful state governments should stop treating less fortunate countries and regions as giant chess boards. except this actually has very little to do with 'powerful state governments' and much more to do with the long term fight in the middle east between shia and sunni Oh don't get me wrong, the ...

Powerful state governments should stop treating less fortunate countries and regions as giant chess boards.

I see Syria as yet another damned if we do damned if we don't, with Western counties demonised by activist types no matter what they do (like with Indonesia's mass killings of Communists and tribal minorities or countless other similar miserable events happening throughout the Second/Third World for...

I can't get onto the blasted place now...

Hum, what ? in one of the threads w/saxtonite, haiti came up because someone said black-run countries have been historically failures like haiti, and then thanas started talking about how haiti was horrible because of the massacres at the end of the revolution, and he wrote as part of that that he ...

Virginia Hey played a minor Bond girl that was made to flash her hooters at henchmen by Timothy Dalton.

James Doohan had parkinson's, alzheimer's, and a few other conditions. He had many years of declining health but rolled on until he died at the respectable age of 85. Deforest Kelley died from stomach cancer. Deforest Kelly died from cancer, but he still died two decades older than Andreas Katsulas...

Yeah, if you put on heavy skin make up for many episodes for two or three years (like Virginia Hey) that wouldn't do your skin (or its pours) very good and that's likely why for similar reasons Jeri Ryan was only in full Borg costume in short spurts and why Peter Weller decided to walk out on his Ro...

Um, because people die? It's sort of a fact of life. We're all going to die and we can go at any second, but when Babylon 5 is a show that's still well under three decades old, it seems misfortunate to have a significant number of former regular cast members dead already, with seemingly over half o...

OK, I've seen the photo showing the DS9 cast line up, celebrating the 20th anniversary (time flies) and some of the cast members look are starting to look almost unrecognisable (like Michael Dorn, but he was under heavy prosthetic) but fortunately (so-far) they haven't been horribly decimated like t...

Check my recent posts in that other forum yeah I know it's complaints about there but I tried to keep it vague blame jung it's all his fault Oh, SDN? I hardly bother looking at it anymore. When I give the place a quick rubber neck today, it made me want to rock and back forth angrily. Russia Today ...

The laughable Gibraltar bullcrap sounds like relatively harmless showboating and posturing over a strip of land that was historically African Muslim anyway. And yeah, whatever you say about British Imperialism, and Russian, Spanish, French, Austrian, Prussian, and Portuguese imperialism is better. N...
