Tee hee

Those scripts can be exceedingly annoying, can't they?

Niceness is a desire.

Kindness is a duty.

I still love Fringe.
Yes LoT fits nicely there.

Yeah, that much bigger, and then more.

I like Deconstruction quite a bit, still.
The scene with Delenn entering is one high point.

The philosophical discussion in the 1000 year future is great.
The point about two shoes bringing you further is a favourite of mine.

Not really cassandraic...I like to think of myself as cassandralicious....

That is excellent!

You might be surprised at the limits to Autotune if you, you know, which to remain sounding like an actual verifiable human

Screenshot of a social media exchange. Brigitte Gabriel posts: “A person’s brain doesn’t fully develop until they are about 25 years old. That’s why the vast majority of Generation Z voters are Democrats.” Below, Devin Duke replies: “But you still want a 10-year-old to carry a baby?”

Make it make sense.

If you sign a lot of anything - books, posters, photos, cards, etc - you usually develop a specific signature for those signings that is distinctive enough to be recognized as yours and also something you can consistently knock out in a couple of seconds without destroying your wrist/arm doing it.

Dear Republicans: are you *sure* this is the guy you want to fall on your sword for?

While it's no wonder it feels rushed, I do think JMS did a pretty good job of getting as much as possible into the episode.

Yes.

The audience.

Yuuuup. There is a straight line that connects Metropolis to The Matrix, and it runs through Blade Runner (among other things).

Actually it was Athena as a teen mentioning how many cultural references she got only through watching Family Guy, which seemed unnatural until I remembered that Looney Tunes served exactly that function for me for cultural references from the 30s, 40s and 50s.

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Trump saying Norway controls the Nobel Prize (“they have a board, but it’s controlled by Norway… I don’t care what Norway says”), above a CNN video still with a “BREAKING NEWS” banner reading “TRUMP INSISTS NORWAY CONTROLS THE NOBEL PRIZE,” showing Trump speaking outdoors at night.

Trump Derangement Syndrome right here.

This is a must-see episode, but also a difficult one,to watch.
Yes, it's far too relevant.

Aurora above the Dwingeloo radio telescope

Great aurora visible in Dwingeloo yesterday!

The Brothers Karamazov.

I wonder if it's the one I had. It was bad, and took almost 3 weeks to get over.

Bester at his most chilling.
Walter Koenig nails it perfectly

A few excerpts from Darmok's Christmas Story:

Ralphie and Flick, at the flagpole.

Randy, his arms down.

The Old Man, when the lamp broke.

Santa and Ralphie, on the mountain.

I have seen something like that. It's cool.

Oh dang that's a cool shot. Tethys is one of several Saturn moons with a whopping huge crater. If whatever hit it had been much bigger or faster the moon would've been blown apart. That's why you don't usually see bigger craters (with respect the moon diameter) on these objects.

D'oh! I'm 20 minutes late to wish you a happy solstice! At 10:03 Eastern US time the Sun reached its most southern point on the sky, and will slowly begin to crawl farther north every day. This means today has the least amount of daytime of the year, and nights get shorter from here on out!

Yes, I loved to see "old friends".

Just making sure no one wants to visit the US.
Or what?

Yes, Neroon has one of the arcs for a recurring character. This is a satisfying conclusion.
Lyta: not even a "thank you"... no wonder she's desperate. Better there to exploit that weakness, ouch!
