Once any story hits the internet, it doesn’t just belong to the people who made it; fan art, fiction, edits, music, tattoos, and all sorts of reinterpretation follow, to say nothing of the barrage of reboots and remakes the corporations running the entertainment world are so enamored of. But there’s something interesting that happens, from both an artistic and an audience perspective, when much loved characters get transposed into a medium where their range of expression and even their physicality is different.
When we want to see the moments we love from the sitcoms we love but a little bit different? Increasingly, we turn them into Lego.
In addition to the officially licensed “The Lego Movie” films and “Lego Batman” spinoffs, there’s a brace of creators online who can make their livelihoods animating film and TV show clips into Lego, sometimes side-by-side with the original. This even...

This post contains spoilers for Star Trek: Lower Decks.
Since its very first episode, Star Trek: Lower Decks has excavated the most embarrassing parts of Star Trek lore, refusing to let even tangential parts of the franchise go forgotten. The Next Generation‘s second-worst enemy race the Pakleds became major antagonists in Lower Decks, and Boimler showed unironic appreciation for a Tom Paris commemorative plate. Heck, even the Space Fun Helmet made a brief appearance.
So it’s no surprise that Lower Decks would eventually get around to one of the great debates in Star Trek history: how do you solve a problem like Tuvix? Directed by Cliff Bole, the Voyager season two episode “Tuvix” used that old Trek standby, a transporter accident, to pose a knotty moral quandary. When an exotic plant disrupts the transporter beam carrying Vulcan security chief Tuvok and Talaxian guide/cook Neelix, the two combine into one being,...

Bp has been toying with the idea of using actor Kevin Costner's Ocean Therapy technology to clean up the Gulf oil disaster for the past month. Once we got over the Waterworld jokes, we realized that the centrifuge-like device is actually fairly useful--it sits on a barge, sucks in dirty water, separates the oil, and deposits the clean water back into the ocean. Bp ordered 32 of Costner's centrifuges last week, and apparently, the oil giant has already started using them. Check out the video below (hat tip: Andrew Price at Good).

The technology is still flawed. Lance Ortemond, general manager at D&L Salvage, explains in the video that workers haven't been able to get the concentration of oil in the separated water down far enough to actually send clean water back into the ocean. As a result, it will still be another two months before the majority of...
