I believe all movies should have their own thread instead of being dumped into the Phase Three thread.

'Black Widow' Movie Reportedly in Development at Marvel Studios

You need a shotgun with 4 barrels so that you have the ability to pick and choose which round to fire (side-by-side). Otherwise you have to fire the rounds in the inverse order in which they are loaded (pump).

"Your revered Admiral Nogura invoked a little-known, seldom-used reserve activation clause." Contractual obligation. McCoy saying that they drafted him was his way of voicing his displeasure at being forced to return. Similar to when Kirk, in The Undiscovered Country, left space dock under impulse instead of using maneuvering thrusters only. And Kirk may well see himself as a soldier over a diplomat. That doesn't mean that he is in the military. It just means that his preferred method of dealing with problems would be to fight instead of talk.

Metropolis has Intergang.

The primary purpose of a military is to be prepared for war, either offensive or defensive. The primary purpose of Starfleet is exploration and scientific research. When was the last time the military did exploration and scientific research whose purpose was not military? Oh, wait, never, because they tend to control the scientific community.

Give me a few minutes and I'll go change that definition.

If someone attacks you and you defend yourself, are you the military?

A line included in the script for Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country but not in the actual film was to have established that Starfleet was under civilian control, such that certain interstellar choices (for instance, whether to aid the Klingon Empire in avoiding economic collapse or to hamper the Empire, eventually causing them to become subservient to Starfleet) were entirely political rather than military decisions. In "Peak Performance", Captain Picard states, "Starfleet is not a military organization, its purpose is exploration."

In her book Beyond Uhura (hardcover ed., p. 248), she stated, "Portraying Starfleet as a military organization flew in the face of everything Star Trek stood for [....] At one point I forcefully but tactfully reminded Meyer and Harve [Bennet] that Starfleet was the philosophical descendant of NASA, not the Air Force."

Put succinctly, Starfleet is a Defense Force and as such, a Civilian organization and The Federation has no Military. But it would consider, non-Starfleet as Civilians vs them not being Civilians, but they wouldn't consider themselves Military.

This town needs an enema!

Forgive you? I oughta knock you on your goddamned ass!

Boom-boom. A big strong man like you shouldn't be afraid of a little boom-boom. Or maybe you think I'm trying to poison you.

Possibly high COM/Striking Beauty coupled with "DNPC: extremely jealous boyfriend/girlfriend" could be considered too hot to touch.

Well, no. There are 12 phases in a turn. "Your" phase is only when you have an action, which is dependent upon your SPD and stretches, time-wise, until you have another phase/action.

Everybody's high on consolation Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me, yeah My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon But it's plain to see that they can't comfort me Sorry, Charlie, for the imposition I think I got it (got it), I got the strength to carry on, oh yeah I need a drink and a quick decision Now it's up to me, ooh, what will be She's gone, she's gone Oh, why Oh, why I better learn how to face it She's gone, she's gone Oh, why Oh, why I'd pay the devil to replace her She's gone, and she's gone Oh why, what went wrong?

Already been green-lit for a sequel from what I understand.

Exactly. Heracles mother was mortal. Diana's wasn't.

I've made a small fortune and you squandered it all You shamed me till I feel about one inch tall But I thought I loved you and I hoped you would change So I gritted my teeth and didn't complain Now you come to me with a simple goodbye You tell me you're leaving but you won't tell me why Now we're here at the station and you're getting on And all I can think of is thank God and Greyhound you're gone Thank God and Greyhound you're gone I didn't know how much longer I could go on Watching you take the respect out of me Watching you make a total wreck out of me That big diesel motor is a-playing my song Thank God and Greyhound you're gone Thank God and Greyhound you're gone I didn't know how much longer I could go on Watching you take the respect out of me Watching you make a total wreck out of me That big diesel motor is a playing my song Thank God and Greyhound you're gone Oh, thank God and Greyhound you're gone That load on my mind got lighter when you got on That shiny old bus is a beautiful sight With the black smoke a rolling up around the tail lights It may sound kinda cruel but I've been silent too long Thank God and Greyhound you're gone

And in her current incarnation she IS a goddess; Daughter of Zeus. Which put her on a par with Ares.
