I know this is a nerdy thing to do, but I just got done simplifying my desktop and I thought I would post a screencap of it.

Dio


Scott: Wait. Did Dio die?
Kris: Yeah.
Scott: What did he die from?
Kris: He died from being an ancient man whose body was filled with drugs.

Basically how Kris and I became cartoonists (Prestige Worldwide)


Dale: We gotta start thinking bigger, though, Brennan. Listen. What are you really good at?
Brennan: I'm a world-class singer.
Dale: See? Right there. That's an amazing skill. Now what am I good at? I can shred on the drums and I'm a marketing whiz. Put it all together and what do you get?
Brennan: I don't know, a band?
Dale: No, that's been done before. Even better: we are gonna start an international entertainment company. The biggest and the best. And we're gonna call it Prestige Worldwide.
Brennan: That sounds so cool. I feel like a lightning bolt just hit the tip of my penis.
Dale: Yeah. Yeah.
Brennan: We're brothers. This is why we met. To form this alliance.

Charlie Brooker - How To Report The News


“Next a walky-talky preamble from the auteur, pacing steady towards the lens, punctuating every other sentence with a hand-gesture and ignoring all the pricks milling around him like he’s gliding through the fucking Matrix.”


Picard on Death

While we’re on the subject of Star Trek, I wanted to also bring this up.

Why is it that Science Fiction has done more to help me understand God than my church or the religion I was raised in? And I’m not just talking about Star Trek. I’m talking about a lot of Science Fiction literature I’ve read. Carl Sagan’s books Contact and Demon Haunted World have brought me closer to God than the Bible ever has.

How is that possible?

Something to think about.


Far Beyond The Stars

If you can watch this episode without losing your shit, then you don’t have a heart. Far Beyond the Stars is a zenith of Star Trek. I think it proves unequivocally that Deep Space 9 is not only the best of the Star Trek series, but better than anything that’s come since.
