He’s probably just been thinking about sand again.

I dunno. I’m uncomfortable with the idea of a whole universe having more than 40 people in it. It’s scary and unfamiliar. Why can’t they just give me more of the same story over and over again?

I watched the live stream this morning. I watched the sizzle reel they played.....
I got tears in my eyes.
Don’t get me wrong.....I LOVE TFA...I really do. I think it says “Look, we’re back and it will be alright to love again.”

But watching that reel, watching these characters. Hearing them talk about how they…

The way I used to try to justify it was that this is a real historical event and George [Lucas] is on Tatooine with his camera crew, we’re on our planets with our camera crew, and there’s filmmakers on other planets with their camera crews.

That’s how it works in The Darkest Timeline, everyone gets a goatee.

The only thing that keeps me Trekking these days is that I keep repeating to myself “Kelvin Timeline, Kelvin Timeline, Kelvin Timeline”. Because not only is it not “my” Trek, it’s not even a good Mirror Universe.

I haven’t been keeping track, but I do get that reference...

Civil War was about as perfect as you could get. I'm trying to remember the last time Kathrine Trendacosta was happy with anything. She needs to replace her file photo with one of the goth kids from South Park.

As I write this, I am watching Mirror, Mirror. Always a good choice to return to the (incomparable) original.

I want to see a “Fully Operational Battle Jedi Luke” soooo bad. I hope they don’t pull any of that “more powerful than you can possibly imagine” bullshit in SW8.

would have been SICK, but yeah, not really where they were going w the character.

Or: it doesn’t matter what was. I think most fans as smart enough to understand that this is really about the fact that TOS began production in 1965 - at a time when you just could not have a gay character on TV. And thankfully, we’re way past that in 2016. And as long as they have some explanation for the divergence…

They care more about the cheap applause instead of honoring the character, Gene Roddenberry’s creation. So fuck Takai, fuck Gene, we want to make Sulu gay so if the game flops we can call everyone homophobic. Fuck creating real characters with content, we use minorities to show how progressive we are. Just like they…

Making Sulu gay is bringing elements of the actor into the character.

Wow, interesting. So if Takei didn’t want them to do it, why did they? Did they care more about appealing to George Takei fans than honoring the actual person?

Made vy a horrible director.

I brought popcorn if anyone needs some.

I did like the pirate crew in Resurrection, but I guess they were just proto-Firefly really.

Yes! Newt & Hicks LIVE! Fuck you, Fincher!
