Yeah, imagine that head shouting "Exterminate!", and it just loses it's edge. And at least now the Daleks can hover around, what can the head do? Get involved in a messy football match is all it can do.

But I jest, I for one welcome our new talking head overlords (same as the old ones).

If you think that's bad, you ought to see Palin's latest gaff on video, where she pardoned a turkey at a farm, then proceded to give an interview right in front of the slaughtering rack (while it was in USE), with Palin completely oblivious (even turning to look at the bird being killed, then back without changing expression even in the least).

Comment Re:Young Star Trek (Score 1) 591

"Young" in the 1960s was considered as 30-40 (Why do you think those hippies were so jealous, with their "Don't trust anyone over 30!" line?).

And 100 years before that, you were as good as elderly at that age.

More like 42 years, if you count the animated series' syndication, TOS syndication, the movies, the movies' syndication, THEN TNG, TOS, DS9, the subsequent syndication of all three, then the TNG movies and their syndication, etc etc etc.

Then The Star Trek Experience, Mister Spock's Wocky-Os cereal (not really, but it gets silly after this long), the video games, the cons, the books, the action figures and toys, only to all be silenced by the forces of Bakula, captain of Enterprise, destroyer of worlds and the space/time continuum.

At least back in the day when only 1/2 of America had basic cable, and everyone else had to use rabbit ears to tune in to broadcast TV, you had a 50/50 chance of not having to see ANYTHING Star Trek related. Ahhhh, the good old days. When you could cut your Star Trek intake with repeats of Night Court and Small Wonder, which in turn would make you look FORWARD to Star Trek.

Hey you kids! Get off my bridge!

And they wonder why people can't associate with a floating old folks home in space anymore.

Actually the movie in question was The Crawling Eye. And it was the first movie watched by J&TB when MST3K made its way into Cable TV.

Attack of The The Eye Creatures (not a typo, look at the movie title card) was in the latter half of season 4, MST3K's heyday.

I still miss Turkey Day to this date, I didn't have cable TV (back in the late 80s/early 90s, it was difficult to get new service if you didn't own your home, and even if you DID have cable, there was only a 20% chance they carried The Comedy Channel/Comedy Central), so I was only able to watch an episode of it while visiting a friends house. Being able to download everything helped immensely.

I've been able to access it just fine literally minutes ago. I keep my scripting off though, because a couple of months ago, a tainted ad server tossed a trojan into my stytem. It's been purged, and since I remembered to turn scripting off, it hasn't happened since.
