    Dying Trek fan to get STID personal screening

    And dude did get to see it. Sometimes stuff does work out.

    Dying Trek fan to get STID personal screening

    Yes, fuck cancer. My mother died of cancer about a month after Trek XI came out. She and my dad were big fans and they're wholly responsible for getting me into Trek in the first place. I'm not ashamed to say that I stole it off the internet a week after it came out since she really wanted to...

    Will there be an explaination for how enterprise can go underwater?

    Re: Will there be an explaination for how enterprise can go underwater Almost everything that a starship can do that's worth writing home about is fucking ludicrous. Somehow, being under water is being singled out, even though we do shit like that all the time in the 21st century. But hey...

    Spoilers TP: The Struggle Within (ebook) review thread

    Eh, you're not wrong. I don't know what the hell I'm bitching about. I enjoyed it quite a bit, after all. And if this new facet of the character ends up paying off down the line, then we'll be better for it, IMO. I think my niggling problem with it lies in the fact that stuff like this isn't...

    Spoilers TP: The Struggle Within (ebook) review thread

    Fair enough. I stand by my point, but that scene with Worf does kind of save it. I had kind of forgotten about that while I was writing my post ;) Still, that scene only briefly touches on a point that, while interesting, might have benefited from a more in-depth exploration of the theme. I...

    Spoilers TP: The Struggle Within (ebook) review thread

    I got a shiny new tablet for Christmas so I finally have a decent way to read e-books. This is one of the first things I picked up. I thought it was pretty great. I agree with people who think it feels like an episode of the series. The novels, while often really entertaining, seldom have that...

    The Muppets (2011)

    I think the theatrical ending works so much better. Thematically, it fits better. The Muppets have always been a bunch of losers, objectively speaking. But it doesn't matter; we love their felt asses anyway. Do they get the theatre back or not? I almost wish they didn't answer that question in...

    The Muppets (2011)

    Just saw it. I have a condition that South Park would call "being a cynical asshole" but this made me feel like I was 10 years old again. It's just awesome. The songs are great and it's genuinely hilarious. It's been a long time since I saw a movie that made me laugh this much. Kermit's line...

    Benicio Del Toro to be the villain in the Star Trek sequel?

    I don't wanna be the guy who's like "IT'S KHAN!" but it's totally Khan.

    What no Arkham City Thread?

    Yeah I threw about three of them into my feet before I went and changed that. Really makes it a whole lot easier, but like most control schemes for video games, YMMV.

    What no Arkham City Thread?

    Which is good, because my dumb ass needed him to spell it out for me :lol:

    What no Arkham City Thread?

    Just finished the main story. I was a little let down by the ending. Less for what happened than by how they carried it off. Anyway, I'm still only at like 57% so here's hoping it gets fleshed out a little bit during the course of finding the rest of the stuff.

    Wood or aluminum baseball bats?

    Well, are you a purist? If so, go for the wood. It's possible to get better performance out of an aluminum bat, but with the wood the quality of your manslaughter will be beyond reproach. You don't want any asterisks popping up. And if you really take the guy's fucking head off make sure you're...

    2011 MLB Season Discussion

    The issue of "running up the score" comes up a lot in hockey too. Regardless of the sport, if you're professionals you should play to win; that means scoring as much as you possibly can. I think the aversion to it comes from little league and things like that. There's no honour in kicking the...

    Canada 2011 Census

    I filled it out online as soon as I got it. Since I have no regard for my privacy, I even checked the box that makes my answers public after 98 years. Because I just don't give a fuck, yo.

    2011 MLB Season Discussion

    I've spent a lot of my life thinking about which way is better. The NL game is inherently more interesting. And yet, most of the awesome feats of the game are performed by the pitcher. Is his accomplishment diminished if he's in the AL? I say no. I say they're both fine ways to play baseball...

    Spoilers VOY: Children of the Storm by Kirsten Beyer Review Thread

    Re: Star Trek: Voyager: Children Of The Storm Review Thread ^ I like to think that she's taking the lemons Lady Q gave her and using them to float around the solar system as a fine mist.

    Spoilers VOY: Children of the Storm by Kirsten Beyer Review Thread

    Re: Star Trek: Voyager: Children Of The Storm Review Thread Just finished it. Excellent stuff as always, Kirsten! I didn't like it quite as much as Full Circle or Unworthy, but it was still very enjoyable. I think the difference is that there wasn't as much focus on the core Voyager people...
