    First, I've been trying to keep track of the spread of the vectors, and it really seems illogical. They're boogeymen who pop up as the needs of the plot require. For example, the tall black doctor who was infected two episodes ago (and who ignored Hatake)? I pointed out that there's no reason for him to be on Level

    Someone should have given him a Coca-cola.

    The thing I think would be interesting for a Barbarella TV show is...part of the "Alice in Wonderland" innocence thing that....Barbarella doesn't like to judge people. Even what we'd judge to be "evil" people in the movie, she just treats as "okay, that's their culture" - ironically fitting the Prime Directive fairly

    My assumption is that after he was thawed, Khan had facial reconstructive surgery - I mean logically, Admiral Marcus wouldn't want people *recognizing* Khan from historical photos.

    Indeed - they were just "on hiatus" for a while - 16 years not counting a TV movie. And they were smart enough to ease fans back into it. Wow, I remember all of the internet debate when the Ninth Doctor premiered over whether it was a reboot or continuation, even though the writers openly said they considered it a

    A retcon is a complete restart from scratch, though often borrowing origin stories (i.e. different Batman film continuities and the comics). A retcon drastically restructures stuff but still has ties to the originals. An intriguing gray area are *in-universe* reboots, involving reality warps or time travel, etc.

    The show wasn't cancelled due to the Writer's Strike - it went on break along with the rest of TV. They were fighting over money over that but aren't they always.


    Darkman would have been a far more appropriate photo

    That's it: we used to love Moore, all of his DS9 work. Something changed with Ron between BSG seasons 2 and 3. Stopped doing Q&A or listening to any criticisms.

    Ah, these dornish look so hot-blooded...

    Helix is actually pleasant, because it isn't really a Ron Moore production. He didn't write it nor is he showrunner. They just gave him an executive producer credit to dupe people into watching it, even though I nearly *avoided* it because of the association.

    Now playing

    While many of you have said Star Wars Episode I (which is a major contender), I don't think anything can quite match the *outright lying* of Alien 3's trailer.

    I wouldn't say it was a bad movie - the performances were good and Fincher's direction was great as always. The actual story was just kind of there, but I understand its the first in a series of adventures with these characters, so I didn't mind too much.

    Seriously, man. The director's cut is a FULL hour longer. This is one of the TOP FIVE "studio meddling" examples ever...I mean it's up there alongside Alien 3 in terms of how much of a hack job they forced on Scott's vision: A FULL HOUR of footage, most of it character and plot building, for both the Christian and

    It was a stereotypical trope filled-film...in which the tropes were all done very well. It was very polished. And by "well" I don't just mean "guilt-ridden sergeant" was played well - I mean the *cinematography* and *direction* were interesting and heart-pounding. Moreover, they actually refined and thought out how

    ....who *didn't* like Battle: Los Angeles? It was a popular movie, and the trailer resembled the finished film.

    My god, that first trailer made us think it was such a different movie. To be honest, going in, I didn't know a god damned thing about the plot or setup. All I and many others saw was "lightsabers! Spaceships!"...the trailer didn't really give what much of the plot was at all.

    The sheer audacity and stupidity that the studio took to Prometheus boggles the mind: the entire point in making a prequel to a famous, lucrative franchise is to ride on the built-in popularity of said franchise. But then, they got panicky, and thought "wait, maybe newer younger viewers who haven't seen the older

    It isn't really a Ron Moore production...
