I didn't know the thing about mirrors and rabies. That's fascinating.

It's only silvered mirrors that don't work for them. Most modern mirrors use aluminum now.

Wait til you hit your mid-30s and a single hoppy IPA keeps you up at night with heartburn, and an imperial means a headache in the morning.

This episode freaked me out as a kid, and I refuse to believe it wasn't directly influenced by Twin Peaks.

How about pausing it indefinitely and getting the leaders out to a warcrimes tribunal.

I'll do you one better: Where does Data have nipples?

back to life.

Is there any precedence that he could?

Well maybe. The Genesis device is full of unknowns, and all we really know is that it rearranges matter to create a habitable planet. Once, just being on the planet while it was still cooking was enough to clone a corpse into an infant and age it to maturity. It also caused microbes to evolve rapidly into macro forms. Who knows what it will do when the organic matter at the center of the explosion is a person?

My guess is either it will distribute Locarno's being across the entire globe, resulting in a sentient planet Locarno, or it will result in a planet populated entirely by Locarno clones. Or maybe both.

So Nick Locarno is definitely a living planet now, right? They made sure to point out that the new planet was made using his molecules. I'm thinking he's basically Ego now.

Also how great was it to see Wesley again, before he turned into a Time Lord? Anyone? Just me?

The Tendi thing is basically the same move SNW made with La'an. It'll be resolved in the s5 premiere.

I did wonder why so many LJGs were on the bridge and why Boims got the chair, but I just chalked it to the usual - the otter more senior staff were up to something more important we didn't need to know about. Though it's certainly not unprecedented to give promising young officers the chair even when more senior officers are available. I take that as just part of Starfleet's training protocols.

Are you being cereal?

Be the a-hole you want to see in the world.

All glasses are cups, but not all cups are glasses. Anyway this is more specifically a tumbler, and you can't prove what material it's made of.

I WANT TO GO TO THE PARTIES YOU ARE AT

So that's what that is. I've been noticing it but didn't really think much of it.

There should be a separate tag for Lurker. As in an account that has existed for a while but either has few comments/posts or deleted them all.

Why words

Your neckbeard is showing, my dude.

"men are usesless and women are perfect"

That's not in there at all. The point was that when high profile women screw up in public they get shit on relentlessly, but men in the same position will more often than not get away with being shitty constantly. The women have to be perceived as perfect just to stay out of the crosshairs.

At no point did the show say that "men are shit". Fuck, it has Matt Murdock and Bruce Banner in it, both of whom are depicted as cool, stand-up dudes who are anything but shit. It also has Wong, who is awesome, and Pug, who is a bit of a good but also pretty cool.

If you're getting "men are shit" then you're identifying with the wrong characters, and that's a you problem.

And yeah, she's awesome, she's a damn superhero. Did you have this same problem with Captain America or Iron Man? It's not even remotely true that there are no obstacles for her, it's just that the stakes are different because it's a workplace sitcom. I don't get this line of argument at all. How is "She's awesome" supposed to be a criticism?

And also Werewolf by Night, which was the most slept-on genre production of the past year.

You put Secret Invasion above things? Yikes, dude. I can understand putting She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel lower than other stuff, because they were more targeted to specific audiences and didn't necessarily have the same mass appeal as the others, but they are good at what they were attempting to do, even if you don't love what they were trying. Secret Invasion didn't even seem to know what it was trying to do, but it failed at every level.
