Yeah, but it's not quite the same. Would have been fun to see a big honkin' cgi mech in that fracas though, go that extra mile toward hyping up the protomolecule hybrids as a threat.

it's a small thing, but i went back through season 2 recently and i really appreciated the little world-building touch of having all the good alcohol in the outer planets come from ganymede, several episodes before the first scenes set there

you can apply a decal/stencil yourself.

or you can pay a huge markup and have some etsy person do it for you.

Paper cup??? Look at Mr. Moneybags over here. Folks on Basic are using biodegradable, technically edible cups that start falling apart if you let them sit for too long.

Not sure how behind you are on this.

Set tear-down has been delayed to Wednesday.

I'd imagine the number of people who own 3d printers and people who watch this show is statistically significant.

Shattered Glass is great and it's the only time I find Steve Zahn tolerable.

I'll do you one better, I actually find Hayden Christensen tolerable in that. Just how he keeps going into that weird pathos mode every time his story starts to fall apart more. I love that movie. You can still find a lot of the articles around the fallout online as well as responses by the real-life people portrayed in the movie. Somebody even preserved that bullshit Jukt Micronics website he made up for a while. :)
