    The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

    Why the heck is Alfred E. Neuman in photo? was my initial reaction. I thought the photo was a spoof. That is not a flattering image of Craig. I don't know why, but maybe it's because, imho, Craig stands out in an odd sort of way when situated among the other Bonds. If it was just an image of...

    How big was the Enterprise?

    That is fascinating work that you did. Glad there wasn't any permanent damage to your eyesight. Thanks for sharing that info. I don't know if this is related to the type of work that you did, but I remember, back in my college days, when I had to do research at the library, some source...

    How big was the Enterprise?

    ^ Thanks for that info. I have wondered what exactly did Nimoy see when he looked into that scope. It was clearly lit in the inside. Was Nimoy looking at some light bulbs? I assume it was a soft glow recessed type of lighting; otherwise, a direct shining of light would have been uncomfortable...

    How big was the Enterprise?

    Now you see it (the potential opening); now you don't. ;) Assuming that second bridge access point did exist in "Wink of an Eye", and that is the route that Kirk used to leave the bridge, that would have meant that Kirk/Shatner literally did an exit stage right. :) @Mytran, what episode...

    The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

    I don't know if the "spend the money quickly" line was also used in the Moonraker novel. Yes, it was cards, bridge, to be precise, in the Moonraker novel, according to Wikipedia. Like Khan, Drax cheated. In Drax's case, he used a stacked deck. Of course, Bond outwitted both of them.

    The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

    Usually when Bond is at a gaming table, it is for a game of cards or some other traditional casino game. In Octopussy, I thought it was a nice change of pace for a Bond movie to feature a different kind of game, backgammon. I had just learned how to play backgammon around that time. So I...

    Spock’s Command Decision In Galileo Seven

    I shake my head when I see that image of the rock on Spock. That picture shows one of the poor decisions that Spock made in "The Galileo Seven". Notice the position of Spock's right hand on the rock. Apparently, he is pulling on the rock. If Spock is trying to get that rock off of him, wouldn't...

    Spirits, ghosts, and that kind of stuff

    I can only suggest that you read the USAF reports, especially the 1997 report The Roswell Report: Case Closed. It has information that may answer your questions. The report is not a boring read. It has photos and other interesting materials as well.

    Saavik I vs. Saavik II?

    Perhaps, it was the symbolism of her sitting in the center seat and giving orders that really mattered in that context.

    Spirits, ghosts, and that kind of stuff

    Believe it or not, in the 1990s the U.S. Air Force released two official reports about Roswell, one in 1994 and another in 1997. The reports basically declared that there was nothing otherworldly to see there, so move along. The reports offered the more likely and reasonable explanation that...

    Saavik I vs. Saavik II?

    You were not the only one who felt that way. Alley was definitely easy on the eyes. But it wasn't just that which made Alley's Saavik so appealing to me. Right in the opening scene, when Saavik uttered, in her sultry voice, "Damn", she won me over. I knew that I was going to like this new...

    Khan Noonien-Singh in The Savage Curtain?

    Speaking of Singhing, or singhing of singing, or whatever ;), I almost typed Savage Garden instead of Savage Curtain. Had I done that, it would have been a contretemps. :)

    Khan Noonien-Singh in The Savage Curtain?

    If Khan Noonien Singh had replaced Col. Green, that would have meant that Kirk & Spock would have been up against not one but two Khans. That is more than enough Khan men for Kirk & Spock to come into contact with in one episode. Two Khans would convolute the conflict for Kirk & Spock. It...

    If Worf never came aboard Deep Space 9, do you think Jadzia Dax and Julian Bashir would eventually become a couple, even if only temporarily?

    "The Quickening" presented a great opportunity for Jadzia and Bashir to find romance. It was the two of them down on the planet, helping those folks afflicted with the blight and searching for a cure. Despite all of that misery, it could have been a bonding experience for them. The first time...

    You Are The Captain #7

    This sounds a bit like a space version of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. First, do some quick observation into what the natives eat and the tools that they use in their daily lives. Secretly beam up a sample of the food and tools, replicate them with the ship's replicator if possible. Beam back...

    What is your Favorite Sports Movie?

    News Jack the Ripper Identity Possibly Confirmed After 130 Years

    FYI, you can check out History Channel's The UnXplained , the show hosted by Shatner. It did an episode about the Ripper. You can also watch the Nimoy hosted show In Search Of... . It had an episode about the Ripper too. Shatner's show is much more recent. I think you can see both on YouTube.

    Disney Unveils Third Verse for "It's a Small World" Ride

    I don't know if the new lyrics would bring more people to visit the Disney parks. It seems like such a minor thing in the scheme of things. Also, it's not cheap to go to those Disney parks. Admission prices keep going up. https://fortune.com/article/disney-world-ticket-prices-outpace-inflation/ .

    News Jack the Ripper Identity Possibly Confirmed After 130 Years

    I hate to use this phrase, but that would kill two birds with one stone. That would simultaneously solve both the ripper and D.B. Cooper cases. ;) I have heard about this claim before. I've seen a number of documentaries about the ripper case. It's fascinating to see the theories that people...
