    Does anyone know if there's a "proper" name for this type of in-your-face advertising? A similar style with wordplay has been in the Powerthirst, Brawndo, and others.

    @ManchuCandidate: There was actually a period of time when they offered tours on the Death Star.

    This was from the brochure:

    No, that's not a small moon. That's the Empire's newest superweapon. But did you know it's also a fully operational and wonderful vacation destination? The Death Star has an ice rink, indoor golf course and a 2750-seat amphitheater. It also has four swimming pools, volleyball and basketball courts, and a youth zone with theme parks and nurseries for children. Cruise the Empire in style! Call 800-DEATH-STAR today!

    Except in the alternate universe, Khan was already rescued and owns a salon in Queens called "Botany Bay Hair Stylings."

    "Yeah, I thought maybe I'd like to be a dictator again but I got into counseling and realized I was very angry, ya know?" said the former leader of millions.

    "Then I told Joachim my feelings for him and we opened this store. It's just lucky we're still not out there in space. Who knows what could have happened?"

    V- "there will be an "Oh my God, I can't believe that happened" moment, or a "Wow" moment...in every single episode "

    There already is. But it's usually followed by "That's really stupid" as well.

    Not good news on V. You can't keep up that kind of pace. The best shows build up to something big, then take a step back to let you catch your breath. Trying to be all excitement all the time lessens the impact and doesn't give the audience time to assimilate and appreciate big events.

    @Dr Emilio Lizardo: On the other hand, it does allow you to plow through plot holes without giving the viewers much chance to say WTF (watch any season of 24 for plentiful examples of this).

    "And co-writer Roberto Orci says that even if Khan is in the sequel, chances are it'll be a character they created, who they then decide to turn into Khan:"

    So, they are creating a Darth Vader II. Makes sense, Abrams secretly did not want to make Star Trek. He wanted to make Star Wars. Why else were there be so many Star Wars nods in a Star Trek film. I mean, a R2-D2 cameo? Really, Abrams?

    I am going to miss Supernatural immensely when it's done, but I don't think Dean will let Michael in unless they can't find God, which I think they will.

    Whatever ends up happening will be awesome. and I do want to see what it looks like when Michael enters a room because Raphael's entrance was frickin' sweet.

    I think they should misspell the Star Trek 2's Khan as Khaanne since it's going to be nothing like the original anyway, per usual. As long as he's frakking over characterization, why doesn't JJ be honest and do away with proper name spellings as well? Khirkhe, Yuhoora, Zschgotty, Sppokh...why do these sound like Futurama spoof names?

    Those Dollhouse caps kick ass. I loves that show! ((((squishes)))))
