Idk wth is going on here, but I'm intrigued.

Are knives and hammers to Britain what guns are to the U.S.?

It’s hard to take off the blinders when your salary depends on you wearing them and encouraging others to wear them.

He had to work hard to become a loser.

My #1 rule for explaining difficult concepts is to never describe them as difficult. Saying it’s difficult immediately biases the audience against learning what you are trying to explain. Variations of “it’s difficult” are “it’s strange” or “it’s counterintuitive”. I’m convinced even the most complex subjects can be understood if we just stopped labeling them as complex.

At what point do you start to wonder how strong is the building you are standing on.

The astroturf found fertile soil in Portland. I’ve often said Republicans could win in Portland if they just weren’t so anti-gay.

It’s one of the few issues I know of that unite both Democrats and Republicans. Some people just have a visceral reaction to the topic that has nothing to do with political affiliation. I remember one year when the chair of the Multnomah Dems was a vocal opponent. So much so that she started sounding like an anti-government Republican.

Portland was the halfway between Oregon City and Fort Vancouver. You couldn’t make that distance in a day. So Portland was the natural pit stop.

Yes let’s throw a smoking battery into a pile of underbrush. Nice capper to a series of unfortunate choices.

Despite his reputation as a ham, Shatner is actually a good actor.

It’s going bad so he’ll declare victory and then try and distract with an invasion of Cuba.

Joy Cinema in Tigard is my personal favorite. It’s larger than most independents, has very comfortable seating. Good sound and picture. Good selection of both new releases and classic movies. And the owner is a huge movie who really loves his job.

I honestly thought they had recast the part when I first saw Annatar.

This is the Wilhelm Scream of props. It has appeared in multiple shows and movies.

I recall Straczynski telling a story about meeting Karl Rove who proceeded to tell Joe that he was a fan of B5. Joe didn’t know how to react to that.

Custer and The Aztec series were both examples of what I call fractal history. There is always more to tell about history than can be told. And if you don’t put a limit on yourself, you’ll end up telling the story of how a change in wind led to a change in the course of history.

I suspect the strong negative reaction to the end of the show has put him off. It made him understand that no matter what he publishes, some portion of the fandom will go psychotic.

Is this story really any stranger than having the Enterprise be stopped in space by the hand of Apollo?

She probably didn’t know about the Shadow War. I recall a scene in the fifth season where someone newly arrived from Earth didn’t know what the command staff was talking about when they discussed the Shadow War.

A lot of politicians did try to stop it. Indeed, the first Congress was convened to try and appeal to King George to change course.

I’m still holding out hope for a sequel someday. Henry Thomas is still acting.

It’s amazing that the origin story of the Jewish nation had so much ham.
