I have to wonder about the logistics. He can't be running them on his own single Internet connection. Or could VPNs handle it so it would appear his listens are coming from all over the world? $10M is a lot of money. How long did it take to amass that?

Did Lucas actually add to or change anything about the movie for the 1981 re-release with "Episode IV: A New Hope" other than just the title scroll?

One of my buddies is in his fifties. He's been an avid reader his entire life. He pronounces "chasm" with the ch of "chicken" no matter how much we correct him. I've known him long enough for that word to actually have shown up in conversation a not-insignificant number of times.

Never started it. I was thinking I was going to start it when it had an ending. Now I see no reason to ever bother starting it. Good thing I'm patient. I did the same thing with GoT. Dodged two bullets.

Well, none of the three (four?) times I went to Thailand did I explicitly go for the sex tourism (unless honeymooning [not with a Thai] there counts), but still, I saw a lot of it, and even had my bits groped backstage at a drag show (all in good humor), and I can't imagine there are many tastes they don't at least attempt to cater to. At least ten-fifteen years ago. I haven't been in some time, now.

In the words of Neil Peart, "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice."

Work on making a better one.

Never mind the ~500 year age gap between Dax and Bashir.

Haha! Some DS9 writer read The Player of Games and decided they wanted to make that, and bunged it up horribly.

Exactly. It's not that a geocentric model can't be mathematically described and used to predict, it's just that the math is much, much easier if you put the sun in the middle.

Probably barley or green tea in a little paper cup. I'm in Korea.

Do the final two episodes of Star Trek: TNG count? If so, that.

For a series with its ups and downs, they really nailed everything that's great about Star Trek in the final two episodes with none of the lows. Relevant social commentary, intelligent dialog, an intriguing science fictional mystery, some action, and a superbly dramatic Picard! Not just Picard either. Almost everyone in the cast gets a chance to shine across the three time periods. Brent Spiner especially gets a nod for the subtle changes to old Data's character.
