The Phantom Menace - Return of the Jedi (Tie). 5. Attack of the Clones. 6. The Force Awakens (A.K.A. The Farce Awakens)...

Re: What's the last book you read?

The History in English Words by Owen Barfield. I've heard about that one! Would you recommend it? Yes, I think I would. It was not an enjoyable read. The style is a tad archaic, if I may engage in a little hyperbole. For instance, the paragraphs that span pages strike one as just a little too long....

Let's see... Last night I watched episode 7 (I think), of Project Blue Book , "The Scoutmaster." (Just double-checked: It was #7.) Via the old DVR. Meh. Kinda weird, and I nodded off during the final ten minutes. So far, it hasn't been that impressive. But, compared to a lot of other thing...

Re: Star Trek - From TOS to Discovery and Beyond

But, then, they never were too worried about that sort of thing in Trek. During the original run there were a great many inconsistencies, and they only had one program to keep track of, which they were making up as they went along. True. And I'll admit, its not a huge issue for me. I have nitpicker...

Though I'm not sure to what degree we can see "period authentic" is really the goal, given the uniforms, technology, Spock stuff (at least through first 4-5 episodes of season 2, haven't seen any since). I think its more do-whatever-we-want. I think you're right. The bridge set in action ...

Heredity: A Very Short Introduction.

What a useless, steaming pile of ideological nitwittery.

What I was after was a refresher on the mechanics of hereditary in organisms; what I got was a lot of bilge about race, class and gender.

Well, I watched it from a disc, but an episode of Firefly last night. "Our Mrs. Reynolds," if memory serves, episode 1.7.

Since, well, I have watched a little news.
