I wonder where they are going with the corp security guy. His story clearly isn't done, and the motivation for trying to arrest Andor was because he cared about the lives of his two dead comrades. Could he be joining the Rebellion later ? My hunch is that he'll go deeper into the Empire. He's on Co...

Ah yes, the unstable molecules dodge.

So very nice episode but not the wtf quotient and impact of last week. Still I figure I can’t have noticed even a small fraction of the references there only the obvious stuff like the Thanos Copter and the Thor Frog in a jar. Nice character work I thought and a good example of how self-destructive...

I forgot to add that another major change to the Borg was their location. In TNG it was heavily implied that the Borg were located a lot closer to the Federation, and that J-25 was roughly where Borg territory started (assuming that Q threw the E-D at the nearest Borg Cube). Q warned Picard that th...

If Luke could send his voice to Leia, then Sidious could certainly send his voice to Anakin in that situation.

Or she could just have been politically savvy. Not impossible for an elected queen turned senator. Dooku being responsible didn't make sense at the time. Everyone thought that he was a political idealist who still had Jedi morals, and the Separatist cause wouldn't have been served by assassinating ...

Padme did have the intuition that Count Dooku was involved in her assassination, an insight that exceeded Yoda and Mace Windu. She might have had some latent Force potential, but in the era where Jedi were common and training was supposed to begin in infancy, there was little reason to try and recru...

The wild vornskyrs were able to track and target Luke even inside the ysalamiri's Force blackout, so the ysalamiri's anti-Force bubbles can't be absolute. The Force must still be present inside the bubbles, just beyond the Jedi's ability to perceive and manipulate.

Sozin didn't have Azulon until after Roku's death, when he was in his 80s, and Azulon died at 95. The Fire Lords lived very long and had children very late. Azulon reigning for twenty-three years must be a mistake. They made other mistakes, like having Koh say that the Avatar tried to kill him 800 y...

My condolences.

Yeah, I think it's 50/50 at this point whether Ultron is Tony's creation (as a defense stopgap as you pointed out) or if HYDRA's screwing around with a combination of Iron Man/Asgardaian/Chitauri/Dark Elf tech. I think that it would be a step back in Tony's characterization if he creates the next g...

So I'm going to go ahead and classify Ward as dumb muscle. I'm trying to think of any scenario that would lead to him allowing someone he knows can mind control him with her voice (and maybe her touch if he's super lucky) to walk up to him and grab him by the arm. While he is pointing the worlds mo...

It's possible that Scotty's transwarp beaming got tossed in the Starfleet "Things We Can Do But Will Never Actually Do No Matter How Much Sense It Would Make" file along with the timewarp slingshot maneuver. DaiMon Bok had a subspace transporter with similar capabilities, and Geordi whippe...

If they keep the Zahn trilogy, they're stuck with Jacen and Jaina as the Solo twins. That's rather limiting.

Dark Empire is gone for sure, though.

There's no way to even begin to evaluate such a thing, but if we're going to base it on reputation in the fandom, it would have to be either Sarek or Spock. Probably Sarek due to his much longer career and greater triumphs. Spock's mission to Romulus apparently ended in catastrophic failure, unless ...

There's no cow in any of those pictures? And yes, she's Batwoman. She also didn't exist in modern Batman mythology until The Powers That Are Apparently Stark Raving Mad Be decided to bring her back because, obviously, everything Silver Age is so much better. They also brought her back so that they ...

Well, if they keep going with their rehash of classic Trek, the next movie will be about a killer space probe and/or time travel back to the present day.

Given that Q introduced the Borg to the Federation as a means of kicking them out of their complacency, something that won't even begin for almost a century, why would he tell them? There's no point, it's so far off as to be unecessary. Besides, this Federation has already had a kick from an advanc...

Obama probably has the advantage over the GOP on the sequester according to recent polls of public opinion. But anything could happen.

I prefer Vulcan Green Lanterns.

Well, I should think not. Obama: I Can’t Use ‘Jedi Mindmeld’ On Congress To Fix Sequestration Asked why he doesn't just sit down with congressional leaders until a sequestration deal is reached, President Obama said Friday that he can't lock lawmakers in a room. "I am not a dictator, I'm the Pr...

Would Amidala really have done anything different in Jar Jar's place? How could she not have endorsed the military creation act? The Separatists would have slaughtered the Jedi and overwhelmed the Republic, leading to either an even more extreme act passed by the Senate giving Palpatine more power o...

Yeah, having Wolf359 survivors makes no sense, but it can be explained without time travel. They just assimilated a few ships and sent them back to the Delta Quadrant before heading on to Earth or something. How? Did they upgrade the assimilated vessels with transwarp? Make a conduit for them? (If ...

There was something odd about how Volthoom talked about engineering his rebirth again. It showed just Hal's image with him. Could Volthoom be Hal Jordan's counterpart?
