Games Workshop says an "elite band" of screenwriters is coming together to create the shows and movies.

Kinda concerned they don't already have someone to announce. Cavill alone can't do this, it needs amazing showrunners.

Wanted to save you a click and write what record was actually set. Article doesn't mention it.
It's not most expensive SW prop

a miniature X-Wing starfighter from "A New Hope" sold for over $2.3 million in June

So it might be most expensive firearm prop, but we are left in the dark...
The article's author also doesn't know anything about props:

The original prop gun was modeled after the Mauser C96 broom handle pistol used by Frank Sinatra in "Naked Runner," and was built by "Star Wars" set decorator Roger Christian and armorer Carl Schmidt. It has gone on to be dubbed the "Hero" prop and is considered one of the most recognizable weapons in cinema history.

A hero prop is just the name for a prop that's seen in close-ups or is important.

Probably just some cloaked Klingons

oo rah noos

"U" is not pronounced like "you" at all. "Noos" is also pretty off.

Hope they learned and aren't announcing more than they can deliver again.

You'll just need to check how to install the proprietary NVIDIA drivers on your distro. For most that won't be a problem. Just a quick google search, haven't tried this myself:

Let's say your great-great grandfather stole bricks from a victim to build a factory that you now own and that provides a nice living. Because of that the victim was not able to build a factory and their descendants are poor.
Let's say this crime is very well documented.
Did you do the crime? No. Are you reaping the benefits of the crime? Yes.
Should you give that factory to the descendants? Should you be required to help the poor descendants? Would it be a nice gesture to help the poor descendants?
Nobody is asking for the factory. People are asking for a bit of help because it's clear that you are still reaping the benefits of a crime that was perpetrated by an ancestor and the victims descendants are still feeling the repercussions of that crime.

After having watched TNG multiple times I really do enjoy the first three seasons a lot. I think the only real stinker is Code of Honor, the racist episode. I love The Naked Now, though having it as the first episode after the pilot is of course more than crazy. If the silliness of that episode didn't make people quit guess what the next episode was? Right, Code of Honor...
Also Tasha's multiple mentions of rape gangs in the first season isn't very wholesome. On the other hand, not wholesome but amazing is exploding heads in my Trek. Don't know what they were thinking but it's always a highlight on a re-watch.

I thought FUBAR was alright. Not a good show by any means but adequate mindless fun.

Good news, everyone!

It's a character on a comedy show, I had no problem with that. The problem was that Howie's character was destroyed and he stopped being funny after they got together.

The episode where she's playing as the Doctor really shows her amazing acting skills.

The whole video is pretty good. But I found this part pretty interesting as I hadn't heard it before.
