Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Excellent film - but then it is based on a play by a rather well known English playwright! But then Ann Francis running about in a very short skirt for the '50s helps as well!Originally Posted by Macca

Another superb Ealing comedy. There's not a wasted word anywhere.

I saw Source Code and enjoyed it.Extremely good film, directed by Duncan Jones, who has a very famous father.
Loved the retro look to the set design, reminded me of Silent Running in a lot of ways.
Look out for his next picture after Moon "Source Code" which is also great.
His latest is in post production, a World of Warcraft movie.

Yesterdays Enterprise - STNG on the Sci fi Channel (now)
An accidental set of events throws the Enterprise C 22 years into the future, altering the time line. They meet the Enterprise D which is now embroiled in a war that should not have happened. The Enterprise C must go back but all will die if they do that. A fine episode of The Next Generation and along with The Inner Light http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Inn...xt_Generation) one of my favourite stories from that series.

That's the one where Tasha Yar coems back if I recall correctly. Yes not a bad one although given there are what 5 seasons with twenty-odd episodes each there are precious few good ones.

That's the one. The Enterprise C, answered a distress call from a Klingon outpost under Romulan attack, suffered severe damage and ended up 22 years in the future, where the Federation is at war with the Klingons, a war that would more than likely not have happened if the Enterprise C had made more of a difference in the past.
Wonderful story, good acting and its a shame Paramount did nothing with the characters from the Enterprise C, particularly Rachel Garrett, played by Tricia O'Neil
