Not a fight.

James Bond has to seduce Jessica Jones and spend one night with her, using his usual charm and methods. He has three months to pull it off, or he will be damned to Hell for eternity.

Can he do it?

Let’s say a fleet of Cylon basestars jumps into Earth’s orbit. Most of the ships and nuclear weapons are destroyed by Star Trek’s advanced orbital defenses and point-defense systems, but one nuclear missile swarm manages to get through and obliterates the Korean Peninsula.

How would the Confederation of Earth react? How would the president respond? What would Genera Picard's reaction be? What about the alien rebels and insurrectionists?

What happens next?

Both sides want to destroy the other.

No other external threats or factions.

In the dialogue, one of the Marines claims that they have access to energy weapons like phased-plasma rifles and particle weapons capable of causing mass destruction.

Yet in the movie, they use fairly conventional sci-fi ballistic weapons.

In both Aliens: Fireteam Elite games, we see that the Colonial Marines really do have access to the exotic science-fiction technology they claimed to possess, including plasma weapons, particle emitters, and combat robots.

So where did all of that technology go in the movie?

The last time I asked a similar question, people said it was because the network executives were white Christian men.

Okay, fair enough. But riddle me this: then why didn’t Gene Roddenberry create a “white savior” episode in which Captain Kirk and the rest of his predominantly white male crew rescue minority characters from their false religious beliefs or persuade them to abandon those beliefs?

We could have had an episode in which other actively practiced mainstream religions, such as Hinduism or Shinto, were revealed to be false religions created by aliens pretending to be gods.

We could even have had a character-development episode centered on Sulu, in which he discovers that his Shinto beliefs were false all along, is “saved” by his white captain, and ultimately abandons his religion for Christianity.

Could do the same with indigenous cultural beliefs, hinduism, or Islam.

Instead they chose Greek mythology that no one today even practices.

What were they afraid of?

/S

He is all over the place. Is he dunking on MW4 because its set in Korea or because it has normal, amoral female antagonist who was in the trailer for like 10 seconds and calls her girlboss?

And what does he mean by 'woke'? Because neither reasons seems to qualify.

What if Q presented himself and claimed that he is not a god, just an alien with extraodinary powers and clearly doesn't need a starship.

So, Starfleet Security developed the TR-116 as a backup weapon for energy-dampening environments where phasers would not work.

They then canceled the project after producing a prototype because regenerative phasers were developed soon afterward, apparently solving the energy-dampening problem.

However, the TR-116 still had several useful features that we never saw incorporated into phasers. Its targeting system could see through walls and other obstacles, while its micro-transporter could beam the bullet directly to the target.

Those capabilities would still be incredibly useful in niche situations such as boarding actions, urban combat, cave systems, thick jungles, and hilly or mountainous terrain, where security may not have a direct line of sight to the enemy.

Does this mean those features were already available in some unseen regenerative phaser sniper rifle?

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised. Star Trek has shown time and again that its characters possess technologies that fans can only speculate about.

If Agamemnon’s fleet of one thousand ships had landed on the island of the Laestrygonians instead of sailing to Troy, could the Greeks have defeated the armored giants through sheer numerical superiority?

Let's say she runs back to her dad in the palace after the big bad merchant cut her hand off.

Who is the weakest character who could outsmart Kevin’s traps, rob his house, and finally defeat him?

An eight-man South Korean special forces team raids the mall where Paul Blart works as a security guard.

Paul Blart has three days to prepare.

If the team eliminates Paul Blart, each member receives a McDonald’s Happy Meal.

If Paul Blart wins, he automatically becomes a sworn police officer.

How many hours will it take Paul Blart to beat them all senseless?

I watched the Zombie Wedding (2024) on Amazon Prime, because it was set in Vineland, NJ.

The movie was terrible, but wanted to support it.

Any other films out there, good or bad? Big budget or low budget?

Hannibal Lecter was arrested and imprisoned during the height of the Cold War.

If he had fled back to Lithuania instead, would the Lithuanian/USSR government have welcomed him with open arms, despite having worked so hard to keep its own citizens from escaping?

What about China or North Korea? How would those governments have reacted if a cannibalistic serial killer had sought asylum in their countries?
