Bumperstump Cabbagepatch is possibly the very best ever (except for the superlative Bimplestitch Wonkypants).

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm blocking on what he says is the worst thing he was called in school--anyone remember?

Man, the Atlantic just posted an article about Mr. Crinklypips, and one of the other commenters and I started playing lovingly with his name -- as one does -- and some humorless crosspatches are vigorously downvoting us. Way to piss in our cornflakes, people!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Star Trek into Darkness: The Spoiler FAQ.
Look, you’re getting very upset, and this is just the first scene of the movie.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
that was a scream, but the bigger scream are at least two commenters who wrote master's theses in response to this. You know you are about to go into the weeds, when the remarks starts: "according to the Starfleet manual..."
The other one took such offense at the "questioner" in the article! His outrage was downright hilarious. He does realize the questioner *is* the author, yes?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
That was pretty awesome.

OH MY GOD THIS THIS THIS:
If Khan is from the 1990's, and Starfleet knows all about the Eugenics Wars, can't they duplicate what would surely be a very simple 'augmentation' on Kirk's own blood? Like, with basic medical equipment and an encyclopedia?
It's like if we suddenly realized from a frozen caveman that leeches cure cancer, and instead of just BREEDING SOME GODDAMN LEECHES, we defrosted one frozen cave-leech and cured one guy. SO DUMB.

I am glad though, that the solution did NOT involve a mad quest to get their hands on the toxin and then taking an hour and a half to create (and thoroughly test, natch) an antidote. I mean, the fact that they'd establish you could pretty much just use what you got...yeah, cheap anyway. Just, could have been cheaper.
I question this part of the FAQ, though:
hasn’t Trek always at least nominally tried to get science right?
What Trek masterpieces do people think used to exist? Am I from the future with Eric Bana and that's why I don't remember these narrative and scientific masterpieces?
