  • The Last Ship battleship

    So in The Last Ship an Iowa class battleship shows up fighting for the bad guys.   Now, given the fall of global civilization that came before this point, losing track of a battleship is actually plausible. Could have come loose from its moorings and drifted and been recovered perhaps?   That said, I’d expect…


  • USS Franklin Timeline Justified

    Star Trek: Beyond introduced the first Warp 4 capable ship operated by Earth, the USS Franklin.  This ship and it’s known canon timeline appear to pose some challenges.  Why is its registry number so high compared to later NX ships?  Where was she during the Xindi crisis?  Why, for a ship that predated the last holdouts…


  • We’re living a sequel to “The Proteus Operation”

    “The Proteus Operation” is a time travel/alternate history novel by James P Hogan.  The basic plot- History through World War I proceeds as normal.  In the aftermath, though, it really becomes the war to end all wars.  Peace and prosperity is established worldwide by 2020. Spoilers for the overall plot of the book, though few…


  • The Minister of War

    In Episode 4 of Doctor Who Series 9, “Before the Flood”, O’Donnell mentioned a Minister of War. There’s been a lot of speculation as to who it could be.  My theory?  John Frobisher, the Permanent Secretary to the Home Office in Torchwood: Children of Earth. We’ve had a callback to Caecilius already, but Peter Capaldi…


  • Marty McFly was captured and tortured by Libyan Terrorists

    So, this came up in a Facebook thread a while ago, figured I should put my theory here. So, we should all know that at the end of Back To The Future, the Libyan terrorists that Doc Brown got the plutonium from shot Doc Brown at point blank range with assault rifles, and Marty returns…


  • What if Pi is rational?

    Things I wonder about- Pi is an irrational number. However, there is, in principle, a small but nonzero chance that everyone who has proven Pis irrationality was wrong, and that Pi is, in fact, rational. If this were to be the case, I wonder what the implications would be? Not much on a day to day…


  • The Golden Throne imprisons, not sustains, the Emperor of Man

    According to the official story, the Emperor of Man in Warhammer 40k was mortally wounded when facing off against Warmaster Horus, and was placed in the Golden Throne to keep him, and the human race, alive. I think there is reason to doubt that story. What really happened? Now, a curious fact is that the…


  • Fan theory- Modern Family is a Married With Children sequel

    This is my own speculation, it’s not based on any statements from the creative team or actors or anything.  But I noticed a few things, and the presence of Ed O’Neill playing the family patriarch on both shows helped. The cast is the big giveaway.  In Married With Children, we’ve got a family consisting of Al…


  • The Doctor and Lorna Bucket

    Lorna Bucket from “A Good Man Goes To War” had previously met The Doctor.  Eleven did not remember her, but it’s still unclear if he had forgotten her or had yet to meet her from his perspective. I think he forgot. From “A Good Man Goes To War” Amy- “He’s not a warrior” Lorna –…
