She also taught the actors in Predator and Commando the deadly art of unarmed combat. She was accidentally booked to do the same on the set of Twins as well.

The weirdest thing is the authority with which people say "this isn't Star Trek" or "Starfleet wouldn't do this", even when confronted with examples of more egregious activities from episodes they previously accepted without challenge from the Roddenberry era and post-Gene days.

One of the requirements to become a War Chief of the Crow Indians was to steal an enemy's horse.

So during WWII, Private Joe Medicine Crow stole 50 horses from a SS camp, and sung a traditional Crow honor song as he rode away.

That says more about the Mail than it does about the BBC

The same set of figures the BBC spends £174,857 on 'left wing' papers (Guardian & Daily Mirror), but £380,623 on right wing papers

So by your own yardstick the BBC is far more right wing than left. https://t.co/WKySDHEbwn
