It is fine to debate Star Wars versus Star Trek. It is not acceptable, however, to do so with phasers and lightsabers.
-Or any other canonical weapons.

I will not kidnap Captain Kirk and Captain Picard and force them to fight to the death.

I will not feed the tribbles.
Yes, Doctor Fitzgerald bears a striking resemblance to the Energency Medical Hologram from Star Trek: Voyager. No, I will not say "Deactivate EMH" if he starts to annoy me.
I will not kill Wesley Crusher.

Blowing up ships to kill Sues is probably overkill.
I will not recruit Sherlock for the PPC.

"Agent Corolla and Agent Amara are not interested in holding a cooking show about the joys of Sue-flesh"
Don't. Give. Corolla. Ideas. She would totally do that, and try to drag Amara with her.
And it would be incredibily funny, too.
Also, Amara's name should be put as Agent Amara Coris, as there IS another Agent Amara.
My suggestion:
#Idon'tknow: Despite their similar tastes in food, Agents Corolla and Amara Coris aren't to be suggested holding a cooking show about Sue-flesh recipes.
- Mainly because Corolla would actually like the idea, and drag an extremely unwilling Amara with her.
-- We don't want to know what happens when a creature born from despair falls into despair herself, thank you.
#unknown: Amara Coris is not Homura. Stop saying "Homuhomu" near her.
- Teasing her about Madoka is right out. She doesn't feel anything for her, right, but we don't want to risk an angry Witch in HQ.
#unknown+1: Madoka would like to remind PPC Agents that she doesn't approve the recent practice of swearing death to Sues in her name. She is a peaceful and mercyful goddess of hope. -

(In Wrinkle - well, and in Wind in the Door - tesseract is the process of leaping through folds in space-time to depart from one destination and arrive in another. Tessering [that's the verb form,] is one of the main powers of the three "witches" who are Meg and Charles Wallace's first teachers, but Meg and Charles can do it as well, on their own, given the motivation.)
The avengers one is a glowing cube that is the mcguffin of the movie. -

Other than the ymra neila, it's supposed to be the key to space travel (and possibly time travel, I'm not certain which comics they're following or more than the general outline of the comics in any case,) and a source of completely clean energy. Something like that. I'm sure it will show up again next time. :)

I was rooming with a fangirl when it came out, so I got my head stuffed full of extra knowlege about it that the movie may or may not have completely followed. (I also got the heck spoiled out of that movie by the people who went the first night.)

The whole world is buzzing about Disney buying Star Wars. Almost more than the election. (Don't respond to that. The election is DO NOT WANT for me.)
And I remember that LOTR scene. I always thought it was either incredibly silly pandering to teenage boys or completely awesome.
