    Trailer Star Trek: Discovery - Official Season 5 Trailer

    Do not get me wrongI have enjoyed watching Discovery, I will probably enjoy watching the new season, but there is a fundamental shortcoming in their storytelling. Rather than walking into a pizza place and being surprised they have bread sauce and cheese, I think it is more likely walking into a...

    Looks like they are saving the galaxy again. How imaginative.

    Borderlands Film

    Seems like Cate Blanchett thought to herself, "You know, I really enjoyed playing Hela. Maybe I should do more of that."

    Anyone want to work for NASA?

    I think there is a sense in which the actual cost of space exploration is the resources consumed in pursuing it. A useful question might be right now is, "What more or less useless things do we do right now that are equivalent to the opportunity cost of a Mars mission, which actually...

    Anyone want to work for NASA?

    Were I eligible and appropriately skilled it could be interesting. I think the last three and a half years of having barely left our apartment might have prepared me for that kind of isolation. Though I suppose it is always possible that without a break in between the two experiences that it...

    Has this thread yet mentioned the related question: who is the best live action Lois Lane?

    Marvel Animation's X-Men '97 | Official Trailer | Disney+

    While I hope it just skips the entire Krakoa plotline I would not be surprised if they use it somehow to bring Xavier back. But also: any bets on whether we get a Spider-Man cameo?

    What are you reading in 2024?

    Forgot to mention that after learning it was overdue I read three quarters of Tasha Suri's The Oleander Sword in a single day.

    Marvel could publish DC.

    What would any of us actually want out of a crossover universe?

    D&D Movie/TV Joe Manganiello: Dragonlance TV Show No Longer In Development

    Rogue One was a masterclass in making room for people other than the "main characters" to matter.

    D&D Movie/TV Joe Manganiello: Dragonlance TV Show No Longer In Development

    Perhaps one way to consider the greatness of Tolkien's writing is that the ways in which he was deficient matters . It would not matter if he were mid. But to go further the idea that all great works of art must be modernly cosmopolitan can, in fact, be limiting to diversity. I just finished...

    What if you threw a baseball at nearly light speed?

    Would the "baseball" even slowdown appreciably from the nuclear explosions? They seems rather more finite than the amount of energy needed to accelerate a baseball to that velocity.

    Any chess players

    How does one determine whether they "play chess" ?

    X-Men 97 Promo art and character list

    I think I had forgotten George Buza was Beast. If you ever watched The Adventures of Sinbad in the '90s then you would know him as having played Sinbad's older brother, Doubar. He also had a lot of small roles in films over the years. Also particularly excited by Lenore Zann and Alyson Court...

    What if Earth suddenly stopped spinning?

    For the Earth to "suddenly stop spinning" would require such a massive amount of energy that I am pretty sure everyone would be dead before they actually got to experience the "not spinning" part. Like, the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was nowhere close to powerful enough to stop the Earth...

    Echo is damn good, like almost too good for Marvel

    I thought it was pretty good and solid overall. I wonder whether we will see more explanation of how Kingpin was affected.

    Where does that leave elves, dwarves, and halflings?
