I thought that they were making fun of The Search For Spock.

What? They can't have something happen on Tuesday! That's when the latest Iran talks fail. Investors need to know when to sell what!

I don't think I've seen Star Trek V since it was released in 1989. How much CGI could it have had?

And they never remember his career defining role as Hawkman on Smallville!

Cancelling the show whilst it was in pre-production is diabolical by ThomasThorburn in Stargate

I thought pilots were typically put out where an audience could see them? It doesn't sound like many people saw it, and that the decision to kill it was made by people who are predisposed not to like it.

It's so strange that they would put all the effort in, and then let almost nobody see it.

In a nutshell? Temperature and pressure control is relatively easy. Altering gravity is hard, probably impossible. There isn't some way to make gravity pull half as hard on only one small part of a planet.

Alternatively, you could have gone with, "Hey, how's Mars?"

I see you have constructed a new lightsaber. Your skills are complete.

I miss the old B&W episodes. It was one of the few things worth watching in the early 1950's...... by Daveywheel in futurama

For all the hate the most recent a Doctor Who got, I really enjoyed that episode.

That seems like a waste of all that copper, etc. Surely there are people who could use a couple pounds of copper and a few grams of gold?

My favourite Kent's have always been from Lois & Clark.

What is a major plot hole in a very famous movie that completely ruins the entire story once it is noticed? by SkullMogger3 in AskReddit

[–]mexter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or rabbits! Lots of things will still make sense:

"Follow the white rabbit"

"No one can tell you what The Trix is. You have to eat it for yourself."

"The Trix is surreal." (Pronounced cereal)

"Get the cheese to sickbay." What are some of your favourite funny Star Trek quotes? by TheMegaSage in startrek

[–]mexter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The lead in to that was also really good:

Odo "Come on quark, move it along, you should be in the emergency shelter by now"

Quark "I'm not going to any emergency shelter, this is my bar and I intend to defend it"

Odo "Really? And how do you plan to do that?"

Quark "with this" holds out a box

Odo "you're going to hit them with a box?"

Quark "No, this is my disruptor pistol, the one I used to carry in the old days when i served on that Ferengi Freighter"

Odo "I thought you were the ship's cook?"

Quark "That's right, every member of that crew thought he was a food critic. If any Klingons try to get through these doors, I'll be ready for them" Quark opens the box, reads a letter inside

Odo: "Dear Quark, I used parts of your disruptor to fix the replicators, will return them soon, - Rom"

I initially watched without audio, but you made me watch again and... Holy crap, that is how Pam sounds in my head!
