I would really like to know how much he spent on getting a passing reference in the least popular ST show of all time.

From what I have heard, that part of the line was not even scripted. The actor ad libbed it in hopes that it might lead to him being gifted a free Tesla vehicle.

EDIT: There was also the completely unrelated reference in a later episode, in which a character mentioned having gone to Musk Junior High School. That may have been a paid reference.

This article does clearly state that both prices are USD, but everywhere else indicates that the price is 1000 CAD.

did this change happen when they made this game “free”?

Judging based on the price history on Is There Any Deal? and the dates of negative Steam reviews mentioning the ToS changes: no. The game is “free” as of this week, but the ToS had been updated with all those negative changes in May.

Ouch, recent reviews are harsh

A three-hour reconnaissance mission?

Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning

Ask me about my holomatrix!

John Sheppuuurrrrrddhhhh

Try Mike Dopud, who has acted in nine of the sci-fi shows that I have watched recently, including several roles across all three Stargate shows

Hmm, I thought I had read somewhere that Anderson was entirely uninterested in ever reprising the role of Scully for anything, but this (very recent) article mentions Anderson specifically as having been contacted. Interesting.

Immediately get noticed

Realistically, though, we are only aware of that one because it was noticed in that unlikely scenario and then widely reported. For all we know, most open source backdoors are alive and well in our computers, having gone unnoticed for years.

I kinda wish The X-Files could return. The first finale wrapped things up fine, but the last episode of the revival ended on a cliffhanger.

Oh, this was an actual line in the show?

I am surprised to not see Arrested Development listed there. Or am I just misunderstanding this?

For when you want to delete everything in the root directory, but absolutely need to keep the directory itself.

Did Sheridan not make the artwork for Only? I do not see it in your link there.

I assume the logistics are entirely different with a hologram compared to a 2D viewscreen. Or are there viewscreens in Star Wars as well?

EDIT: Oh, this question probably does a good job summarizing the type of inconsistencies you are talking about

https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/108609/how-do-star-wars-hologram-communications-work

Starting at 2:46 in Clones Wars season 2 episode 7 we see both ends of a hologram communication. I’ve always wondered how people somehow manage to maintain eye contact while using holograms to communicate since often, as in this case, each are viewing images of the other that greatly vary in size. Obi-wan Kenobi and Ki-Adi-Mundi are in a large room looking down on a 2-3 foot image of Luminara Unduli.

Master Unduli however is holding a mobile jedi holoprojector looking down at 1 foot images of Kenobi and Mundi.

How can they both be looking down at projections less than half the height of an average humanoid while still maintaining eye contact with the person on the other end?

Stranger still, at 3:16 when Anakin Skywalker enters the room, joining the other two Jedi, we see the 2-3 foot image of Unduli in the center of the room turn her entire body about 90 degrees to face Skywalker.

Then Mundi speaks up at 3:25, prompting the small Unduli image to do a 180 degree turn to face Mundi.

However we then immediately see at 3:29 that she never needed to turn since they’ve only been two little images in her hand all along.

It makes no sense for Unduli to turn right and left to face people she’s essentially holding in her hand. Curiously, Skywalker’s image is absent from Unduli’s mobile holoprojector even though we saw her turn to face him. Did he race out of the room the nanosecond he finished talking?

He doesn’t fear the Wraith. Now clowns, that’s another story. They scare the crap out of him.

John Shepard?

EDIT: Oh, I misunderstood what was going on in this board.
