My introduction was in the early 50’s when I got a book called “The Rolling Stones” at a used book store. It cost me fifty cents of my paper money.

If approved she'll just be another Holder except in a skirt.

People refuse to understand the real problem with the medical industry: there are no free market controls, that would've driven the costs back in line.

I also liked the Dresden files TV series. I like the actor that plays the main character, Paul Blackthorne. He is good. Blackthorne is also good in the Arrow TV series, which is pretty good too. Love that the actress that plays the mother, Susanna Thompson, is an dedicated Aikido practitioner.
Really liked Enders Game and the follow-on books, following Ender. My son wants me to read the branch following Bean. He says it was all about Bean. However, after my boy led me astray with the Brent Weeks' Way of the Shadows, I'm not jumping in (fine first book, with inverse deus ex-machinae ending, then a dive into the sewer to make sure the series continues).
I quite liked Peter Brett's the Warded Man series. Some very tangible characters, not just elites. Also a clever twist on how the world works. Hope he works out an ending that isn't just silly.

Very good. This movie had a message too. Tied in with the idea that we are destroying our planet. I did think that the mineral they were mining called "unobtiraium" which seemed a little silly.. That's a shot in the dark how it might be spelled,

I've gotten the impression that I'm old enough to be most in here's grandfather or at least their parents. It makes me happy to see so many with the values I grew up with.

If it goes the same way as we learned from other nations blunders into socialized medicine.......well......but, I agree, got to keep on keeping on.

Haha! They are endearing in their way. And then of course those that are up north go tropo!

Holder is a clown! Be nice if they'd just cut it out and replace him with someone that will do the job as defined.

Has a meaning to me too. I was born that year!

Make that the entire administration, I'll not shed any tears on the leaving of Holder.

Excellent. I have the old and new Enterprises and the shuttle Galileo. Have to get Klingon Bird of Prey and Romulan WarBird. Never thought about them.

Zoe, well yes indeed. Its about the athletic build. It is a survival trait after all. So our offspring can outrun T-Rex. Avatar...sigh! Who would've thought we'd go in for 11 ft tall, blue, lithe amazons?

Nimoy did a lovely job of voicing the patriarch, didn't he?

He will definitely live long and prosper. There's a thought in Mexico that as long as a person is remembered they are not truly dead, I'll keep him alive for whatever years I have left,

That date has a double meaning to me, That was the start of Star Trek and also my time in the Army. I think I liked the series better but I did love the Army,

I thought they reproduced from eating, I think that was the script from "The trouble with Tribbles".

I have all of the VHS movies but haven't hooked up my player in years, I hope they store well,

I've got a Tribble that purrs and three of the Hallmark Christmas tree decorations, the Enterprise, the shuttle Galileo and the War Bird. Plus The Enterprise Manuel.

I've had a crush on Zoe ever since I looked her up from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Also from the Avatar movie.

The whole ATF needs to go. There is no appropriate purpose for the agency.

I hope we're smart enough and strong enough to learn something from the nations that have given up their arms. Obama has just banned the rounds for the M15 and M16 and body armor. I think he's trying to get around the second amendment.

I remember reading the following in the letter section of the TV Guide magazine either in the late 60s or early 70s.
A Star Trek fan complained that he was not a Trekkie but a Trekker.
After laughing, I could only admit that a Trekker sounds a bit more dignified than a Trekkie.
Don't know how that got so hard-wired into old dino's memory banks.
I've seen all the alternate TV seasons and movies but I wouldn't bother going to a convention.

Objectivist at it's best.

the SPOCK character was cool. I loved the part how he didnt use emotion to think about things. If we analyzed stuff by comparing our conclusions with the result of asking "what would spock think", I think the world would be a better place.

I'm jealous :)

Elements of "Start Trek" principles have a lot in common with Locke's philosophy, which was the basis for the America as envisioned by the Founders, so it's of little surprise that most Gulchers are fans of the series. I am bothered by the very socialist ideology promoted by many of the writers, with capitalists (like Mudd) portrayed as dishonest con men, if not villains.

I found it sadly humorous that as relations seemed to be improving between the U.S. and the collapsing USSR, we somehow became grudging allies of the Klingons, and the Ferengi were invented as evil capitalists to provide a new enemy. The effort failed, and in fact the audience developed a kind of fondness for the Ferengi during the DS-9 period.

My observation is that most Gulchers would like to be thought of as Vulcan brethren. I find few that seem to have any sign of contempt for the ST stories.

NBC showed a preview of some of the "new" fall series. Kirk, carrying a phaser rifle, walked around a boulder. I was hooked before the premiere.
