although thank christ that bolus of rat semen is finally no longer in any position of official authority or influence

ugh jesus call me out on my lazyposting why don't you


i'm sure there's another us senator who'd get all pisspants upset about it on the serious people television shows

Isn't Cartoon Network technically exempt from that stuff, being a cable network? I know that only HBO, Showtime and the other movie channels are the ones who actually use that to their advantage (though TNT and USA have stopped bleeping "shit" though they won't go so far as "fuck&quo...

Here's the thing, I can understand them not wanting to give a prescription from the ER. I cannot understand what a low, or hell, a high dose of narcotics IN the hospital under their direct supervision. Especially if the doctor thinks it's necessary. And mine did. Flagg, you might try writing your r...

oxy what's goin' on bro

your countrymen were supposed to be better than this

that show is my childhood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_oEAV2Ca-w Oh bravo... Man the ending to that show is so goddamn bleak... "Oh hey, yeah, we thought we'd give you a break before having you go on to leap forever, into more and more horrible situations. It's only ever going to get worse...

Hey Chris, just an update: turns out Data himself said nothing natural travels at warp speed during TNG Tin Man, so there's another strike against Silicon Avatar.

Barely related: destroying the crystalline entity is one of the hardest PvEs in STO. The fact that it's a thing at all says a lot about the broader fanon and the compromises that have to be made for the sake of a game. And Borg cubes go down if you look at them funny :v Bill, Picard made a comparis...

Like I said above, communicating with it is a potentially good idea, but Picard was expressing reluctance over the notion of having to put it down. Because if they had communicated with it, and it agreed to some kind of truce whereby it goes 180 degrees away from the Federation, that's basically ha...

At risk of sounding defensive, I'm not trying to pick up Wayne Poe's old line of "lol spock was such a dumbass", but rather the notion that in the intervening 70+ years between TOS and TNG, the Federation's understanding of the universe may have arrived at the conclusion that warp travel c...

Part of that might have been interference from Berman - the whole ~Gene's vision~ thing. That said, I don't like pinning everything on Berman, or Braga... Piller deserves a lot of blame too. If the "well we need to do a [character] episode" thing bothers you, I'm pretty sure Piller was the...

my last date waited three hours until telling me she had a boyfriend, so you're still doing alright by my count

Well, his grandfather was a lawyer, so that makes sense. i am quite sure lawyering is not passed hereditarily they apparently expected to pass on wisdom about not abusing your creations or something, sooooo True, but let's not forget what Riker had given up in order to pursue his career. There's al...

Yeah but Bill The Drumhead worked The Drumhead is all about the presumption of guilt, the corruption of power, and the subversion of values in an alleged attempt to preserve those values. The tension of the episode, after the initial espionage plot is resolved, hinges on the witchhunt being unjust ...

Serialization was still very uncommon when TNG was in production, plus generally actors were signed for multi-year contracts. If you write out Riker in the middle of the season you're still going to be paying for him for some time (whether expressed in multiple episodes where he does not show up yet...

Why are people yelling about US drone strikes and "rendition" on N&P as if they can do something about it?! And while it's feeding the cycle of violence in the Afghanistan/Pakistan regions and getting innocent bystanders killed, the US Government did not wake up one day and order dron...

good luck, i sincerely hope you aren't hit with budget cuts At least with HS some of the students might be somewhat mature. What in the hell world are you living in? honestly i remember high school being the time when a lot of my classmates chilled out and were less wild and abusive, it was middle s...

For your enjoyment, the memos written by Gene Roddenberry concerning the nature of Ferengi. Note that, clearly, much of this was never incorporated into the actual depiction of the Ferengi on the show.

what is that supposed to be?

flashlight kinda makes sense if you consider historically the battery didn't last long so you would like only flash the light on briefly to conserve power i guess torch makes sense too since it serves the same purpose but british english is some bastardized nonsense. american english is the one tru...

I don't see why, with SIF in play, a starship couldn't survive underwater Not sure whether they use the standard propulsion systems or use tractor/repulsors to get around I've had this mental image for awhile now of a Constitution-class doing an ad-hoc "hover over ground and be imposing as fuc...

There's a thread over there about the new teaser poster that's just BEGGING for a Futurama reference, which I provided, and it went clear over everybody's heads. Is that the "spaceship is built for space so it can withstand 0-1 ATM?" gag? Maybe I'm just unlucky or grumpy, but I've seen th...
