That is pretty garish, and the 40k imagery seems inappropriate. I would guess the reason the suit looks the way it normally does is to make Vader look like he doesn't need armor. He doesn't have a symbol emblazoned on his suit because he doesn't have to announce who he works for. Neither he nor the ...

Does anyone think that Lucas or whomever he passes the franchise on to will make a series out of the Expanded Universe? No. I don't think Lucas has any intention of making more Star Wars movies. If he were to change his mind, he'll make up something of his own. If, after he dies, someone else makes...

They went into the movie with the idea they were going to make sequels to it, so what you got in Skyline was just the first part. I tend to think of it as a gigantic commercial for the sequel, which is probably the movie they wanted to make. This movie only exists as a demo reel for the effects, an...

can't see how that isn't racist, "Dead Cardassians are nothing to cry about".

Simple. It's not because they're Cardassians. It's because they're the enemy. Remember, they're the people who willingly sided with the Dominion in their effort to conquer and enslave the Alpha Quadrant.

What a dumb fucking thing to say. Do you often dismiss people's entire existence because they wear hoodies? No. I don't see how someone gets from a stereotypical emo teenager to standing for Truth, Justice and the American Way. JMS wrote the book under the editorial guideline "How does a young...

Or you just bombard some unihabited area to show your power.

I think destroying an inhabited area would scare people more, which is the point. Destroying cities sends the message that you don't give a shit about these primitive screwheads, and can eradicate them at the first sign of defiance.

This new graphic novel series doesn't replace the original comics, but rather will serve as a "reinterpretation" of his younger years. I'm not sure why his youth needs "reinterpretation." How does the emo, hoodie-wearing version of Clark Kent grow up into anything resembling Sup...

Let me respond to some choice quotes. “I, personally, would love to see another trilogy, so long as it doesn’t overlook everything that has happened post-[Return of the Jedi], like the Thrawn trilogy/Legacy of the Force/Fate of the Jedi.” Leaving aside that sequels aren't happening, why the hell wou...

A science fiction TV show is competing against mainstream shows in its time slot, and needs mainstream viewers to survive unless it's buried somewhere on Deep Cable like nBSG was. Thank you for saying this. Science-fiction and other genre programs also have a few strikes against them. They are expe...

One presumes things like city ordinances and laws to cap rent costs or some such. That is a recipe for disaster. I'm sure the first time such a cap is passed, it will allow most if not all rental property owners to rent their property at a small profit. However, if a small decrease is seen as good,...

When you figure mainstream Christianity thinks Jesus was a pasty white dude that kept telling people to drink his blood it actually makes sense sorta. There is more to Christianity than that. While it's true that there are lots of people who don't delve deeper into their religion than the superfici...

OK. Now, we all know what a flagship is. I think we can shut the hell up about it and deal with the question he asked. Someone has to command the fleet on the scene. That's why they put admirals in charge of fleets, so someone with the authority to command the fleet is there, seeing what's going on ...

I have some ideas, mostly about the backstory of the prequels. The Republic - The galaxy has been dominated by the Republic for a thousand generations. Unfortunately, it's begun to collapse. The people are apathetic and complacent, tolerating the often massive corruption of their leaders because the...

Also, what would broadcasting those plans accomplish in terms of the average person? Most people won't understand it beyond having seen a bunch of very technical information, and the people who could understand it would take a long time to digest it and realize what they saw. Either way, the Empire ...

I'd rather see a remake of 'The Cage' than 'Mirror, Mirror' I'd rather not see a remake of anything. Surely, they didn't yank this entire franchise away from the dead weight of its canon just so they could spend hundreds of millions of dollars to remake 40+ year-old TV episodes, or 25-30 year-old m...

I really want to laugh at this, because I think it's a pretty big nail in Megan Fox's coffin. She's basically been dropped from the franchise that made her famous. She didn't leave for something better, they don't want her. I can't stand Megan Fox (not sure why, must be her voice), My theory is that...

This seems like it's designed to make people act like lab rats in a Skinner box. They just mindlessly punch the reward button, hoping to punch it more than someone else in the same place, until they get the desired reward. I can imagine some poor fool endlessly pushing the check-in button in order t...

The problem isn't that this person does these things. it's that he's so inordinately proud of himself for doing them. Acting like a fool is not a badge of honor. I don't understand why these things need to be legislated anyhow. Treating an entire population like perpetual children is why people like...

I liked the Spartan vs. Samurai contest. It was amusing to watch two people who couldn't do shit to each other's armor go at it. The regular episode (SWAT vs. GSG-9) was boring as hell. It was just "Here's a gun. Here's a slightly different gun. They both put bullets in people." for an hou...

First, I'll allocate my initial 20,000 head of cattle in the following manner: 10,000 beef cattle 5,000 sheep 5,000 pigs 50,000 chickens 15,000 ducks 10,000 geese 5,000 pheasant Now, for my 50,000 army points I'll establish myself on a coastline, so I can have the option of using ships. 10 Trebuchet...

1. I assume the undead (including Death Knights) that I create or purchase are loyal to me, but how about those created by my underlings? If a Necrolyte or Necromancer in my organization creates undead, do they obey me or them? 2. Can I remove the powers of a Necrolyte or Necromancer in my service w...

Perseus' behavior isn't particularly consistant. He starts off with a "Damn The Gods! I'm going to do it as a man!" shtick... which is why he uses his dad's lightsaber, his dad's winged horse, an assist from dad and ends up with the chick that his dad banged and made immortal (though this...

I loved the Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge reference. It beats me having a similar realization right before he says it, and referencing The Sixth Sense.

Shipwide Orgy night. Ughh... Curse you Chuck!

The callback to it in the Stupid Neelix Moment just makes it worse. Thanks for that mental image.

I think the Federation having a separate ground army is a good idea. Eventually, someone has to land on a planet and secure it, or has to defend a planet already under your control. While Starfleet's security personnel can be retrained into an analog of the Marine Corps, they still need a dedicated ...

The resolution includes no enforcement mechanism and is simply meant to promote greater harmony and connectedness I hate when people pass laws that they have no intention of enforcing. I don't want this law enforced, because that would require a police state. I just don't want stupid decorative shi...
