The geniuses at JibJab have published their next animated political commentary entitled What We Call The News. You may remember This Land from the 2004 election season, which made a huge splash, deservedly so. Go check out the new one.

Hot Kirk and Spock Action!
There is hot Kirk on Spock action at the Wednesday YouTube at SFSignal. Someone watches too much Star Trek.

Cube Farm Samurai!
I don’t work with any of these people. In fact, I can honestly say that there is no one I (currently) work with that I dislike. Amazing, isn’t it?

Battlestar vs. Star Destroyer
Another mashup found on Youtube, this one is well done. It perfectly illustrates why deep space combat as done (mostly) in Battlestar and (almost entirely) in Star Wars is silly. Self respecting admirals would not place their main combatants (i.e. Battlestars and/or Star Destroyers) in such close proximity to each other unless there was no other alternative. With the jump drive for battlestars and the light-speed option for star destroyers, I can’t think of any deep space possibilities where one side or another would be entirely without options for withdrawal.
But it makes for good cinema. Having an Honor Harrington-esque battle would be rather boring on screen.
Also found on Youtube, next to the previously mentioned mashup, is this vast overarching space battle with every fictional spaceship ever put on TV or cinema. It is amusing, and especially so when the Leonov from 2010 makes an appearance.
I’m thinking I need a new tag: “fanboy!”
