Completely amazed by this. Especially when you consider that LESS people got involved in NY. Perhaps not more tolerant but less likely to be bothered?

I guess I just saw it as they took the original text and changed one line unpredictably. Just not enough to perk my humour, I guess.


Yeah, but they changed one line and made it dirty! That automatically equals funny. :)

Okay... I think the most exciting part of the Video is the title right above it:

Torchwood: Miracle Day (2011): Season 1 Trailer

Starz is definitely getting a new customer for a few months.

Can't wait for "Miracle Day" this summer. The last (mini-)series, "Children of Earth" was mind-blowingly good, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they do next.

Two awesome updates this week:

Nana Visitor to guest-star in "Miracle Day": www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s8/torchwood/new...asts-three-more.html

New trailer released! http://www.movieweb.com/tv/TVPOb0vXmsQhTS/season-1-trailer

ALSO - note how Counselor Troi is depicted as just standing there contributing absolutely nothing to the story whatsoever. Just thought I'd point that out...


I know I'm going to get dirty looks from MikeyNY when I get home tonight for saying this... but I can't resist:

It could be worse... she could be at the helm and crashing the Enterprise into something.

So, that's probably my fave TNG episode, but I don't get the comic.


Well, ya see, in the original episode, the Darmok and Jalad metaphor meant two enemies coming together to overcome an outside adversity. But this comic tips that on its ear, and changes it to mean a drunken hook-up. So the Tamarian captain wants to get J-LP all liquored up and bump (possibly bumpy) nasties with him.

Wiiiink!

(As with most Tamarian, the joke probably loses something in the translation.)

Or, to put it in Gay-Tamarian:

Jeff Stryker, his sword unsheathed.
Joey Stefano, legs in the air, cocaine up his nose.
Jeff Stryker and Joey Stefano in the orgy room.
Jeff Stryker and Joey Stefano making the beast with two backs.
Jeff Stryker's money shot, like the Bellagio fountain.
Jeff Stryker (Tamarian captain points to himself), Joey Stefano (points to Picard), and Amber Lynn (points to Troi) in Bi-Bi-Baby.

Saying a game is shallow doesn't rile me one bit at all as it is very much true.

Even free form games such as Oblivion are shallow as at the end of the day they all folow the same format: you fight stuff by using basic abilities or powers, loot your enemy to get better stuff or trash to get money. You then raise your level and get tougher monsters to do the same.

Sure there are slightly different looks each 'level' but they are all basically the same. For a game to be complex and not be shallow would take so much programming that in the end a human player would likely not even be able to play it easily. I must admit though if they could introduce an 'Elite'esque trading element into the game it could help keep those who want to do a Farmville session and not blow stuff up.. Still maybe the duty officer system will do that role beautifully.

Hats off to the guy in the Angry Birds tee for ticking the box of every negative stereotype I associate with American gamers lol

Shallow is a good word for STO to be honest. I'll probs rage the beast for saying that...

Awesome. Just awesome. I LOVE xkcd, and I'm not sure how I missed that one. You get major cool points for bringing that to my attention.

It's xkcd! It's Star Trek! It's gay! What's not to laugh about?
