Forgive me someone, if I'm wrong, but I feel like there's room for good faith in CM's post that is looking at deterrence as a motivating factor to commit to less than savory policy measures. I'm not at all sure I understand your response. Looking back through the thread I think I see your point Cry...

If you see the main purpose of punishment (capital or otherwise) as being a deterrent against future crimes, then it doesn't necessarily matter whether the punished person is guilty. As long as people believe the punished person is guilty, it will still have the same effect of convincing them, "if ...

I've mentioned this interpretation before in this forum. On the question of why General Order 7 has the death penalty but nothing else does. I took it from the episode (where it is mentioned the Talosians have become addicted to their illusions and dismotivated) that the Talosian illusions constitut...

Yes that is Theodore Bikel who played Worf's dad. Here is his imdb entry for confirmation https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000942/?ref_=tt_cl_t_15

The same way you see a title like Hunter X Hunter... the X is silent. You don't say X or Cross or anything... just "Hunter Hunter". Just reading the name doesn't really give you that information, and its not universal to all titles that share a similar format, but it's how its intended all the same...

And now it is back up, but for how long?!

Anyway fun to watch this review again. I did see the actual show at least once or twice, I can't remember much about my reaction at the time though. Chuck's scathing review seems fair.

So resurrecting this thread to talk about the reupload I just watched (the reupload can be watched here: https://sfdebris.com/videos/tv/knightrider.php ). I can't help but notice that KARR looks identical to KITT except according to the pilot KITT looks identical to the car Michael had before he got...

For the longest time I only knew Interstella 5555 by having seen the video for "One More Time" occasional. One time I saw it on a plane and mentioned seeing it on Social Media (and my interpretation of the video was that dance music will weaken a civilization leaving it open to invasion), when someo...

Christmas is quickly coming to an end. Where's the Christmas show? Well Chuck announced on twitter and put on one of his Youtube channels the background for one of the two movies, [cue dramatic reveal] Planet of the Apes https://twitter.com/sfdebris/status/1474829626925285376 https://youtu.be/Ftdgg...

I'm glad that the Dec 24th clue applies to itself in such a way that it applies to both films. I was worried that it only applied to one of the films which would be a conceptual headache (I forgot 24 is a multiple of 3 for a second there). I have no clue what either movie is. One thing I'm curious a...
