I suppose dealing with Trek fans for all those years probably prepared Moore for the reaction he'd get.
Oh yeah. He was one of the writers for that Trek movie where Kirk gets killed.
He received death threats.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Speaking of funny, funny bad and SG actors, has anyone but me been subjected to the horror of Boa vs. Python?
Better or worse than MANSQUITO? Inquriring minds want to know.

Whoops, I am a lying liar. The guy who wrote "Epiphanies" is not remotely new to Galactica. He'd previously co-written 5 episodes. I think the things I disliked were story problems rather than writing problems, so I don't blame him, really.
And the guy who wrote "Black Market" has also been around. He did "Final Cut". So I may have to blame him just a little bit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Speaking of the Bystander Effect, I saw my first snuff video this weekend, in the interests of krav.
Not true snuff, per se, but it was security footage of a guy instantiating a heated argument, and then getting stabbed 40 odd times (which doesn't take that long), dragging himself to a barstool, slumping over and then falling dead to the floor.
Attention from other bargoers? The bartender calls the paramedics after he makes it to the barstool, and some guy walks past him bleeding to death and yells "You deserved it!" on his way out.

Huh. Guy really must have been annoying....
I have to admit, I was tempted to give the finger to the driver of the SUV that spun out on the ice directly in front of me, as he was driving like a total asshole and idiot right before he lost control....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Hey, sometimes you just really, REALLY, aren't interested in trying just one sip of a harvey wallbanger.

If I only had a brain...
I just looked up Krav black belts, and bumped into a page:
Krav Maga is designed to apply to all thinkable and unthinkable attacks.
I like the idea of an unthinkable attack. It's like a Potterverse Unforgivable Curse.
"I just jumped ita with a mildewed noodle!" "That's unthinkable!"

Sorta' Rumsfeldian?
As we know, there are known thinkable attacks. There are attacks we think we know. We also know there are known unthinkable attacks. That is to say we think there are some attacks we do not know. But there are also unknown unthinkable attacks, the ones we don't think we don't know.
OK, that makes less sense than the original Rumsfeld quote....

It sounds cheesy, but it's true--(I haven't read the link yet...) it's supposed to be about principles. We show you many ways to apply them, but you should be able to improvise and seriously improve your chances of survival. You can see it in the instructors' eyes when you ask them about an attack they've never learnt a defense for.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
So, if I do run afoul of a krav practitioner, and I have an equal choice between a big knife and a live raccoon as my weapon, I should choose the live raccoon?
Good to know.
