Is it “sons of Warvan” or “suns of Warvan”?

I do miss Rickman. The way he delivers that sad, pathetic line.

William Shayner’s review of the movie:

> I thought it was very funny, and I thought the audience that they portrayed was totally real, but the actors that they were pretending to be were totally unrecognizable. Certainly I don’t know what Tim Allen was doing. He seemed to be the head of a group of actors, and for the life of me I was trying to understand who he was imitating. The only one I recognized was the girl playing Nichelle Nichols.

Probably my favorite line in all of cinema. With “I’m not saying we wouldn’t get our hair mussed” a close second and maybe a tie.

Repeating directions from the GPS in the car allows us to say “Look, I have ONE job on this lousy ship. It’s _stupid_ but I’m going to do it…”
