Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Decades ago gigantic holes opened up in South Africa near the mining town of Westonaria. Several houses were swallowed up and people killed. It turned out a nearby gold mine had been pumping three million gallons of water per day from underground, to prevent flooding of the mine. This activity emptied underground reservoirs of water, causing the massive cave ins. The first suspicion in events like these should fall on other human activity, before blaming global warming for everything bad that happens!

Forsooth. As in the instant case, it's probably being caused by the oil and natural gas drilling in the area.

In the unenlightened past, people used to blame disasters on demons, witches, etc. In our scientific age, we blame Global Warming.
This is known as "Progress".

Or it's just the other human activity in the area, notably oil and natural gas drilling...

So long, and thanks, Mr. Spock!
Will Rogers never met me.

He died quite a few times in the original series as well - but sadly I don't think Bones or Jim can bring him back this time.
Rest well, Mr Spock.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I still think he was cooler as Paris.
Spock wasn't that great a character.

Spock was, in many ways, the most complex character of the original series. He was never as logical as he would have perhaps wanted to be, but the leavening of emotion made him much more (you should pardon the expression) human.
He was used as a vehicle to introduce many revolutionary (for their time) ideas, such as IDIC (non-Trekkies - look it up).
Speaking for myself, the idea of logic as the guiding principle of life was very attractive. It's one of the reasons that I became a software engineer.
R.I.P.

I still prefer him as Paris.
And Mission Impossible was a better show that Star Trek, too.
A lot of Star Trek episodes were pretty dire.

De gustibus non est disputandum.
Whatever its artistic merits, I think we can agree that Mission Impossible had no where near the popular effect that Star Trek had. I agree that many Star Trek episodes were cringe-inducing, but the premise of the series was one of hope and confidence in the future. This was extremely unusual for the Sixties.

When I was a kid, my friends and I would play "Star Trek" and we all wanted to be Spock.
RIP.
