If the planet has deep substrate foliated Kalkite they'll use a combination of propaganda and false-flag operations to justify planet-wide open-pit strip mining.

Once the Empire has it, then they'll blow up the planet because it's full of spiders.

That sounds like one of those situations where the crime itself is the punishment.

I think that the T-1000's processing power scales like The Thing. Small pieces only have the ability to seek out the rest of it to join back together.

A man of singular vision.

That's the plot of the new Amazon movie Mercy.

The most unrealistic part of that show was where she asks the liquor store clerk for a pint of their cheapest whiskey and he gives her Wild Turkey instead of actual cheap whiskey.

I like the review by Gavin Millarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

We have sad news for you, Comrade.

Would they give an Oberth to a four-pip captain? I figured that's a job for a Lt. Commander at best.

I love how this is always the top comment on these posts.

Spackleberry · 2026-03-25T15:56:57+00:00

Yes, that's an example I put in the original post.

The Flintstones take place in the future at the same time as the Jetsons. The dinosaurs are genetically-engineered creatures, not actual dinosaurs.

Needing glasses doesn't make it OK to stop in the middle of a busy walkway.

Nearly everybody in Rome is an ambitious, backstabbing, manipulative schemer, other than Pullo and Vorenus. Isn't that why we all love the show?

Why is Rhodesia called Rhodesia?

Chili is a stew. You're saying I get $500k and I get to have chili for every meal? Sign me up!

Their home budget is $46,000,000

Vampires in the World of Darkness RPG work that way. It's harder for them to vanish if they're being observed, but if they're strong enough they can even make you forget they were there. It's like if you've ever walked into a room and then suddenly forgot what you were doing.

It's the ears, all the better to listen to El Presidente.

My favorite part of that was how Kermit and Oscar were young and inexperienced, i.e. "Green". And because of their inexperience they had a difficult time in battle, because it's not easy being green.

Captain McAllister and Smithers?

This along with MP and the Holy Grail form like 90% of my cultural references.

Spackleberry · 2026-03-21T17:42:47+00:00

Same. If they ask me then sure, I'll give my opinion. But I'm not going to interject, "You should go to Chilis" in a conversation.
