Spock also had his own Vulcan bodyguards in “Mirror, Mirror.”

I’m still convinced that some idiot went back and saved Edith Keeler.

I interpreted the brain-surgery scene differently. I thought she eradicated all trace of Voq’s memories, hence the Klingon death-howl for her lost comrade..

Speaking as an old coot, I feel like I keep hearing the same tired arguments from my fellow codgers: “’This is not my Star Trek, this is not my Star Wars, this is not my Planet of the Apes, this is not my Justice League,” etc.

Time for us to get over it and accept the new versions on their own terms. Everything is not

Note that CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG is not actually a Disney movie; it just borrowed a lot of the same talent.

Yeah, ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES definitely tops the first one, in part because they were smart enough to give Christina Ricci’s Wednesday more to do.

I’ll cop to having seen “2001" on its original run, although my parents wouldn’t let me see “Planet of the Apes” and “Rosemary’s Baby” because they deemed those films too adult for me.

Psst. Your TV is not malfunctioning. The first act of THE WIZARD OF OZ is supposed to be in black-and-white.

Seriously, I remember a theater in NYC that put up hand-written signs at the ticket windows explaining that “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” was in Chinese with English subtitles. Guess there must have been too

I can see that. Twelve-year-old me was all into STAR TREK reruns and PLANET OF THE APES in the movies.

Let’s also take a moment to remember actor Richard Anderson, best-known for playing Oscar Goldman on THE SIX MILLION DOLLAR MAN and THE BIONIC WOMAN, but who also played the title role in THE NIGHT STRANGLER, the second “Kolchak” movie back in the seventies.

I was in college when EMPIRE came out. My friends and I spent the next three years debating whether Vader was telling the truth and who the “other” hope mentioned by Leia was . . ...

Depends on how old you were at the time, maybe. I was in college when EMPIRE and JEDI came out, and, yeah, the consensus among us “sophisticated” twenty-something fans was that EMPIRE was far and away the best of the lot. I can certainly see where a kid might have preferred JEDI, though.

I enjoyed this and look forward to rereading it, but I confess that I constantly had to keep reminding myself who was who, practically panel by panel. Bruce and Clark, and Selina and Lois, are not so different in appearance that, say, Lois in Catwoman’s suit does not read as. well, Catwoman.

Or maybe that was just me.

Don’t forget the ep where Helen of Troy ends up in 1930s Hollywood and becomes a movie star. And, yes, that episode was really titled “Helen Hunt.”

Glad to see LEGENDS OF TOMORROW getting some love. It just keeps getting giddier and goofier . . . in a good way.

Jealous. I’m STILL waiting for it to come to our neck of the woods.

About Broom Kid: Yeah, I don’t really expect to see him again. I didn’t see him as an intriguing new character, but as a sign that the “spark” lit by the Resistance was indeed spreading throughout the galaxy.

At the risk of showing my age, am I only person who didn’t recognize this bit? It’s the last scene of CAMELOT,

Speaking as another “old,” who was in high school when the original STAR WARS came out, I didn’t feel trolled or disrespected by TLJ, which I quite enjoyed and am liking more and more the more I think about it.

But I will say that our generation needs to get over the idea that these long-running franchises belong to

Oh, for the love of Luke . . ..

These are just ridiculous.

Another subverted trope, if no one has mentioned already: the Benecio Del Tor character DOES sell out Finn and Rose, instead of doing the right thing in the end like past rogues, Han and Lando.
