If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place

Must be a regional thing, because real sugar sodas easy to find in Southern California. I think it's imported from Mexico. In some smaller supermarkets, I've found brands of soda I didn't even know were still around!

 I recall hearing that Mexicoke (yes, that's what we call it) was on its way to switching from real sugars to processed stuff.  Don't know how true that is, though.

edit: Yes... but only in Mexico?.  Apparently they understand the niche value in having it imported around SoCal so they still make some batches with real sugar for here.  Go figure.

Yeah.  I've seen him put on a good show for other performances, but he was wailing and having a hard time holding his notes.  I hope it was just a bad night!

Also, how bad has Stevie Nicks gotten?  You've got me curious.  I know she didn't quite hold onto her looks (though she's looking pretty well nowadays), but I didn't know she'd lost her range.

The 40th anniversary's only funny moments where the rehashes of past funny skits. 

 When you're doing a tribute show specifically about the legacy of a program, that's about what I'd want out of it if I were producer.  After all, it's hard to top a return of Celebrity Jeopardy; that's one of my favorite recurring sketches of all time.  Bill Murray's Jaws theme was fantastic, too, but I thought the entire set-up of the musical moments montage was poor.  I also liked the audience Q&A, but mostly due to Larry David's appearance.  We totally got screwed with Eddie Murphy, though.  After that huge intro Chris Rock gave, I was hoping Eddie would at least crack a few jokes, but all we got was a cliche thank-you speech.  

I wish it were a little less clip-show heavy, but at the same time I also get why they did that.  Just wish they had saved it for the Players who are unfortunately no longer with us.

Don't get too excited.  I'd love for that to be true, but the MoviePilot article cited by the ibtimes is from a contributor and not someone on staff.  Notice he's only got 4 followers and that's the only article he's posted that has gotten any traction.

Also, my friend who works there doesn't buy it. Take that as you will.

Actually I think tentacle porn came about because of the US's post-WWII occupation of Japan. Our prudishness rubbed off on them, to the point where they passed laws saying pornographic material couldn't feature real penetration. Hence, well, tentacles. Hell, even today the tip is often blocked out -- even if just by a barely visible black bar.

Not that I know this from watching, or anything.

Darn ever changing internet. There used to be a site that did a shot by shot break down of every single change in the Remastered episodes. Can't find it anymore.


 I hate self-promotion but maybe you'd like my youtube channel : https://www.youtube.com/user/TrekkieChannel



startrek.com used to have detailed breakdown of all the changed scenes in the good old times before it started to suck

Don't they have a good list of those at Memory Alpha?
