| His not getting any is far more common than he was led to believe. Hollywood portrays American women more like gay men out cruising than the way they really are. Sure I see all kinds of sorority girls in skimpy outfits out drunk at night, and notice most of them going back to their places in all fem... |

| I strongly suspect this ZZ top wannabe did this on purpose to cash in on a redneck protest buy of all those ugly T-Shirts and other merchandise filling up Walmart. Never heard of this show (as I cut the cable down to the $13 a month "Limited Basic" as I hate how History, Nat Geo, Discovery, A&E,... |

| New Kirk is more brash and impulsive than Old Kirk ... "New Kirk" is the product of quack screenwriters who watch too many Fast and Furious and American Pie movies. Edward James Olmos' Adama was a "differently" written character from Lorne Greene's version, but the new version of Gallactica was don... |

| I wondered why she named Patrick Lumumba as the murderer? Could it be he slowly cut her hours at Le Chic from working everyday to working twice a week? Maybe she held a grudge because of that? Maybe she thought her hours were cut because of something Meredith said to Lumumba and she was angry over ... |

She and her boyfriend were under severe influence of drugs and alcohol the night... |

| You don't have the most recent one on the list, the "reboot". That one was a travesty to everything trek. I hated the new Star Trek movie, it left a feeling of disgust in me when I left the theater. I knew they were going to do things differently, but I hadn't expected they'd turn the Kirk characte... |

| I hope there was something else wrong with him as he was such a negative character, there for the audience to laugh at in a dark way, but perhaps "Private Pyle" from Full Metal Jacket was AS? |

| I used to love staring at the Rand MacNalley Road atlas when I was a kid. I still do, plotting out a relaxing weekend drive before I head out. I also look at it afterwards and it helps me visualize where I have been, (in recent years augmented by Google Earth.) Must be an instinct from our hunter ga... |

| Perhaps the female character in The Secretary was based on AS? She rarely talked and had strange compulsions, definitely some personality disorder--she only found happiness being a submissive in S&M. |

| I am sure Asperger's is controversial amongst the health professionals, or they simply don't know about it. But it explains me and several other people I've known over the years. Whatever you call it, there is a psychological condition out there that makes people nerdy, socially awkward, anxious, av... |

| Return of the Jedi was originally titled REVENGE of the Jedi , and they changed it within weeks of its release. No, it was changed pre-release, when Lucas suddenly decided Jedi weren't supposed to want revenge. (I was paying attention at the time because that was just after Lucas had forced Paramou... |
