My initial opinion of the film was heavily distorted by the hype and fan-rage, some of it for good reason, but I watched it recently and it's not without it's qualities. There are things to enjoy about it. Same as the 2009 film, it's great visuals and great casting/acting. The first act is pretty good, the second…

There's definitely a lot lacking from the Abrams Treks, but it's not like they didn't get some stuff right. Visually it's amazing and the casting is really good.

The Kirk/Spock reversal really bothered me at first but upon rewatching it just yesterday I realized that for the story they were telling it made a lot of sense. I mean, if it had to be in there it was good that Kirk made the sacrifice since the whole first act is about how he doesn't respect the captain's chair and…

I just don't understand why you'd censor that word.

They wouldn't do that.. that'd be ridiculous..

That's why every time I'm at a thrift store I look for VHS copies of the original unaltered version. So I can pretend nothing else happened in the saga before or after. Unfortunately they're not widescreen though, so you gotta pick and choose your demon since Lucas is a jackass and wont give us a theatrical release…

Hey, without those people we wouldn't have Netflix, Hulu, Spotify, etc.. Napster revealed a giant gap in the market.

They definitely wont kill the Governor until the season finale, but I got the impression from stuff I read before that he wouldn't show up until a while in. There was a clip from the comicCon footage where they find dead rats by the gate to lure walkers in, so I think that'll be his role moreso. A bunch of sabotage…

To some degree I agree. I've read about some things that Roddenberry was pretty unflinching in his vision though that I don't agree with. Namely, keeping the federation a 'peace keeping' organization despite constantly being at war. Having families and pet and children on a star class ship that's constantly going into…

Came and went, chief. I weathered the storm though.

I'm fine with you holding that opinion but did you really just star out the 'a' in the word rape?

Then yes, my emotional intelligence has been vastly retarded.

Gave it no thought at all.

She doesn't need to prove anything, you're right. She's doing fine just doing what she's doing. She can be the Harry Potter lady just like Roddenberry is the Star Trek guy and Tolkien is the Lord of the Rings guy. There's nothing wrong with that, their all well loved franchises that have spun off in countless…

The same way I guess. Did he do anything outside of Star Trek? He had a pretty substantial TV career before Star Trek, but once that hit he kind of just burrowed in. Without back peddling, there's nothing wrong with being a whore to your first big success, it pays the bills and provides and pretty comfortable life…

It's the use of the word retarded that I'm talking about, which to some people is as equally an insulting and inflammatory word as whore is. Your use of it only calls attention to your own emotional intelligence.

I've admitted that whore was a misleading term, especially with the way I meant it. I also argued that my use of the word was only inflammatory because she's a woman, and had I called a man the same thing for the same reason it wouldn't have been the same issue. I do agree that those books have done more good than…
