Ben Affleck and Oscar Isaac are ‘Masters of War’ in ‘Triple Frontier’ Trailer | Road Surface Shot Blasting Machine

I hadn’t thought about the idea it’s foreshadowing Lorca’s return. Maybe the Talosians will force Michael to relive/rethink her past choices with Lorca in her own ‘Cage’ scenario. Wouldn’t that be a mind-blower? (j/k)

As far as I remember they didn’t show where the pods emerged from Discovery but given the length of the tunnel ride it would almost have to be the front. So they have them parked below the shuttle bay on the back but launch from the front? It would be interesting to know if the VFX team actually built those tubes into their ship model. Unfortunately, it’s far from the first time something like that has happened on Trek, and it hasn’t limited to Abrams Trek, either. For example, there’s the infamous turbolift shaft scene in TFF, and if I remember correctly the final fight between Riker and the viceroy in NEM was supposed to take place on the lowest deck of the Ent-E but ended with the viceroy falling down a deep shaft.

“if this was just a Voyager episode in season 5 or something I doubt people would be praising it AS much because its something thats been done on the others so often.”

In June 1961, cars – most of them belong to students – were parked in the lot at Douglass Freeman High School in Henrico County.

The beloved political drama that stars Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright continues through five seasons as the despicable Underwoods continue their quest to take and hold the American presidency. If you’re not watching this fan-favorite political drama that’s all about backstabbing and (sometimes) actual stabbing, you’ve got lots of catching up to do.

Steam is backlit by the sunrise along a road in Roselle, Ill. on Thursday, Jan. 31, 2019. The cold weather system that put much of the Midwest into a historic deep freeze was expected to ease Thursday, though temperatures still tumbled to record lows in some places. (Bev Horne/Daily Herald via AP)

A ska song going top five in 2018? We weren’t expecting it, and frankly, the Interrupters weren’t, either: “It’s like we have a seat at the table we didn’t even know was there for us,” guitarist Kevin Bivona told Billboard, calling in from a Warped Tour parking lot back in July. Since that interview, the L.A. punks’ incendiary single rose to No. 4 on the Alternative Songs chart, making them the first female-fronted ska band since No Doubt almost two decades ago to soar so high. On the surprise hit, frontwoman Aimee "Interrupter" Allen – who’d been through the major label ringer as a solo artist some 15 years earlier – fights her way out of an abusive relationship among snake-charmer-succinct guitar grooves and group-vocal fireworks. – CHRIS PAYNE

That increasing CO2 causes warming is accepted even by knowledgeable skeptics. What evidence are you asking for that would convince you?

Observations – observations = observational results but observations – modelled results = modelled answers.

I, too, was a bit put off by this turbolift thing; it seemed like CGI for CGI’s sake. Plus, if Tilly had to relegate some on-board scientist to a storage closet to make room for Stamets and his spores, why so much empty space …? As Ruschmeyer says, it did seem like a tribute to Giant Engineering from the KT Enterprise.

Like most conspiracies of this scale, a non-factual counter-argument can be made that it is difficult to imagine so many people preserving the fiction: thousands worked on the Apollo missions; hundreds were responsible for the launch and the landing and were eyewitnesses to its success; most especially, three men were actually in space, two of them on the surface of the moon. So incredible would the feat of faking the moon landing and keeping the reality of the hoax a secret for half a century, that it barely seems worth the effort. It would have been easier to just land on the moon.
