Security? Ressources like rare earths and (precious) metals? They might simply have realized at some point that it makes more sense in the long run to stay underground, where there is everything they need to base their livelihoods on, and just trade for whatever they need. The engineering difficult...

With the emphasis on ineptly. And who in Valens name does one verify the size of the Federation on Google? Well, type "Star Trek Map" in Google and one of the images is this, (linking the pic as the map is quite large) ST map. I believe the map is a scan from a magazine. The Patriarchy? I...

I still can't believe that dumping toxic waste was made out to be a problem IN SPACE. We're not even talking inside systems here. It was a huge starless void and somehow it wasn't big enough.

I have to say, the bit about the story of Zuko's mother goes beyond mere teasing the fans into outright taunting.

http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0843.html Holy crap on a cracker. So, is there recovering from what V's done? In theory, yes. V didn't intend that sort of slaughter. (S)He probably thought that it would target only black dragons, which are supposed to be evil by definition. So it's more mass man...

I find that hard to believe.

The "thousand generations" line in Star Wars: A New Hope was a mistake. Lucas himself forgot about it and changed in to "a thousand years" in the prequels, except the inconsistency was already established in the EU. 25,000 years is too long for even fiction. Most of the importan...

New Comic every day till the end of the pledge drive as the last mystery prize reached. So check back regular for the next week... This is my favorite prize of all. I was resigned to there being fewer updates than usual due to Rich needing to focus on all the new extra stuff, as well as the daily u...

It was a shitty pass to Welker. He should have caught it, but Brady should have thrown it better in the first place.

Brady is lucky that the Giants didn't win by exactly one point, or else he would be getting ALL the blame.

It's a cultural enmity. The Romulans were the original enemy of the Federation, which was created in the wake of their defeat, and the Romulans have never forgiven that. The rivalry between the Klingons and the Federation was big for decades, but it was never personal in the same way (excluding Kirk...

on what grounds? he's not driving the car off the cliff fast enough for mr. norquist (satan, ok Howard Jarvis is Satan to me as a person who whent through Calfiornia schools, Norquist is just Jarvis on a national level kinda like Randites hate the concept of Kant, and society as a whole) Norquist a...

The novel was officially released over a week ago and I've been looking through the eBook version (my first eBook purchase). It's quite good and really fills in the last major gap in Star Wars backstory, that of the movies' main villain Darth Sidious. All the continuity references to so very many pr...

It was the new makeup and outfits in TMP. Just the way they dress screamed "we are warriors rrraaaaarrgh". Kruge and the "Heart of Glory" Klingons followed from that.

As shown in "Endgame", the Borg had a transwarp corridor that ended 1 light year from Earth that led to a hub with at least 47 Borg cubes, and yet the Borg never bothered to attack Earth by this simple method. Either they thought that even their surprise advantage and superior numbers woul...

At this point, the only realistic (and I use that word broadly) way for Romney to lose the nomination is if Ron Paul and one other non-Romney stay in for the whole race and keep Romney from securing a majority of delegates, triggering a brokered convention. It's not likely at all, though.

In KotOR, Cortosis is acknowledged as a weak and brittle material, and because of that they make an alloy out of it that makes it resistant to lightsaber damage instead of deactivating it, so that you could use the weapons (which are easily bluntable, but still useable) against normal targets, too....

Add to this the voluptuous, swarmy acting style of gay porn star Kit Harington (who plays sycophant Jon Snow) and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to a San Francisco bathhouse full of the apes from Star Trek. ???????????????? Even in a parody, that line makes no sense. Which I guess is the ...

A lead of 8 votes isn't significant enough even for the media. Santorum wins the expectations game in Iowa. Unfortunately for him, he's still Rick Santorum.

The shield holding Obi-Wan aloft in AOTC seems to have nullified Obi-Wan's ability to use the Force, otherwise he could have very easily broke free of his shackles, and fled. Force-cages are a creation of the EU, but this example is the one of the first of which hails directly from a source rating ...

I think it's more the massive negative ads from Newt's opponents. Romney and his Super PAC allies really went nuclear on Newt in Iowa. Notably his South Carolina numbers have been more stable... so far. The Republican base just needed to be reminded how awful Newt is. Most of them just remembered Ne...

According to the Independent (UK), all it took was an alteration in 5 bases in the virus' genetic code in order for the strain to become airbourne. I suppose it meant that a natural mutation leading to a catastrophic worldwide pandemic would had easily happened anyway. It was only a matter of time....

No, the Turks have always been on a hair-trigger about any reference to the Armenian genocide. This is far from new.

Let's hope so. Many political scientists believe that voters tend to vote based on the condition of the economy above all else, and they may punish Obama for the damage done by the Republicans' sabotage.
