Althestane commented on Unseen Star Wars Visions Emerge

"@sumocat: You know, so much of Star Wars feels pg-rated and unreal to me that I would welcome a bit of extremity and grittiness...such as a Hutt stabbing someone in the face. However, I've always wanted to see a Hutt stabbing someone in the face WITH a lightsaber."

"@braak: "I'm no PETA member, or anything, but there does seem to be something insanely psychotic about bring a dead species back to life just so we can eat it." But, if you're a member of People.for.the.Eating.of.Tasty.Animals, your mandate WOULD be to make mammoth steaks."

Althestane commented on The Universe May Actually Be Teeming with Life

"@nonpareil: "of what importance is knowledge of extraterrestrial life if (1) it is too remote to ever come into contact with, and (2) communication/meaningful interaction with it is impossible." We're still operating under the assumption that interaction is the only thing that would make the discovery of life elsewhere in the universe valid and useful."
