“And I will show you something different from either Your shadow at morning striding behind you Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you; I will show you fear in a handful of dust.” T. S. Eliot, The Waste Land (1922) Prologue Chaa't'ka fled, and the Dragon chased him. He knew he could...

The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon Season 3 - Episode 2 - ”La Ofrenda” DARYL / CAROL 1: Carol sits by a river, happily watching a couple (Roberto & Justina) splash around in the water when Daryl finds her. Carol is so taken by the togetherness of the couple, referring to them as “perfect”. Daryl...

"Isobel, please listen to me." Proudfoot's voice rang through the empty corridors of the Vanguard, echoing off every bare metal surface. Crouching behind a corner at a T-junction, Beaumont paused for a moment as her former commander continued. The air seemed thin, she had trouble catching her...

Due to external influence as context, I don't recall Spock wallowing for the sake of Spock out of introspective or navel-gazing tendencies. The most we get is a reminder in dialogue that he's Vulcan, which is sufficiently vague* as other stories do confirm Vulcans are highly emotionally...

Beaumont stood at the railing, looking down at the weapon that Proudfoot called Achilles. It was a truly massive construct, stretching hundreds of meters down the bay, mounted along the spine of the Vanguard. Dozens of people surrounded the weapon, replacing components, calling out readings...

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of Star Trek fans with good taste suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened, which usually means someone saying anything positive about Star Trek: The Motion Picture..."...

STAR TREK: PHASE II (animated or CGI limited series) Happens after the 70’s animated series where the 5 year mission ends. There are three phases of a new technology which phase 1 happened during the animated series where Chekhov was part of and the reason he wasn’t part of the cartoon...

USS Pathfinder en route to Sector Nineteen May 10, 2163 Lt. Cmdr. Andrei Kassin, science officer of the USS Pathfinder, leaned back from the table and rubbed his eyes. "This," he announced, "is a mess." For the past three days, he and Commander Beaumont had been in the main Science Lab...

"If I give up the Time Stone to help your reality, I'm dooming my own... In this new branch reality, without our chief weapon against the force of darkness, our world would be overrun. Millions would suffer." "Once we're done with the Stones, we can return each one to its own timeline at the...

SEASON 1, EPISODE 1: THE VULCAN HELLO A list of links to the episodes rewatched so far can be found in the initial post. Rating: 8/10. TL;DR: This introductory outing of DISCO is an unabashed celebration of the NuTrek aesthetic that's brought to life by compelling characters, big ideas and...

Part Three (Cont'd) The stocky form of the Raja-class Bajoran warp shuttle gracefully glided up through the atmosphere of Arvon II. Inside the cockpit of the craft, space had become something of a premium. While there was room for four occupants inside the cockpit, there were only two seats...

Part Three (Cont'd) “Will she be long?” Dashev looked up from his monitor on the desk of the compound's security office, not for the first time in the last few minutes. He glared at the hopeful face of the Ferengi on the other side of the desk. “She will be as long as she needs to be,” the...

I was under the impression the way they dealt with him in the movie was the kind of thing they usually did to deal with Galactus in the comics. He's to powerful the defeat in and he's a cosmic force that technically needs to exist, so you can't kill him without through the whole universe out of...

@Dick Whitman I feel almost exactly the same way that you do.... I wanted to and was ready to love this film, just like Sky Captain(!), but the movie ended... and I just felt empty. Seeing it with family, on the way home it was quiet. We saw 'Superman' the week before, and were talking over...

David Carson's directing definitely helps. He had brought cinematic ideas to the TV screen for TNG, so it's no surprise that he'd use some of the same techniques - minus some pan'n'scan thanks to 2.35:1 big screen aspect ratio - to the big screen. Indeed, having to storyboard scenes in 1.33:1...

This was my thinking 100% until today. While it's still my thinking, generally, there is the disturbing possibility of improper use of muscle memory. To be sure, anyone can have a mental glitch moment, but I (a non-pilot) have had moments of, for example, typing the wrong machine's password...

“Commander Silverbird,” Gibbs cleared his throat, “what’s going on here?” The young woman turned her gaze to the gray-haired lead investigator and smiled innocently. “We… just wanted to visit Agent David?” “And hide in her closet for that,” McGee pointed out, earning an annoyed glance from...

Chapter 10 Ziva leaned forward and checked Cal’s pulse. “Have you reached them, McGee?” an impatient Leroy Jethro Gibbs asked his subordinate, who was casting a sad glance at the stretcher carrying Petty Officer Laura McConnaugh out of NCIS headquarters. He hadn’t even had the chance...
