    Hee hee.
    It's amazing how times have changed. Today it's an internet joke and over a decade ago, it would have been an entire season of ST:TNG episodes.

    I'd read 90% more io9 posts if they were as self-aware funny as this Onion article.

    @skippitymonster: what the quantum fluxed phased the inverters that cause a causal nexuses to reverse the polarity of the subwave network, this allowed me enough time to re-write the subroutines of the red matter... thus guns are bad and Giles killed Ben because Buffy is a hero.
