No doubt. It just seems to be inevitable that someone always pops up and tries to rile everyone's jimmies by pointing out fantasy in science fiction lists, when technically speaking they fall in the same broad category. It's bewildering because it's a distinction that is wholly unnecessary as it is, in my opinion,…

Good God, before someone decides to throw this bit of pedantry into the mix, shuffle back their wire-brims, and gaffaw-chortle their arrogance all over this article

WE INCLUDE FANTASY WITH SCI FI

WE INCLUDE FANTASY WITH SCI FI

WE INCLUDE FANTASY WITH SCI FI

Make the distinction when it matters.

Anyway, good ideas. I dig…

Ugh. The fact that you think Americans (I say this as someone who is an American by transplant and not be birth, thus having the benefit of having lived elsewheres for a large chunk of my life) are prudish, you don't know Americans. That's one.

Two, you clearly don't understand uniforms.

Three, seriously, civilians can…

Several things:

One, Kennex' boss specifically says that the mandate comes between 2046 and 2048 (there is a time skip), hence why John has a human partner. The MX mandate isn't until he's out of commission.

Two, it's been mentioned but he's made to be more human than robot, so it's not surprising that he would hack. I…

I mean, that's the specific answer to why we don't have Earth's Mightiest Heroes anymore. I was more going for the "why we can't have nice things" general question that was posed. But fair enough.

...I must have blocked that out.

Now I need to find some LSD to see if I can replicate that convenient misremembering.

It goes back and forth. We have our moments. We wouldn't be here if we didn't have true group survival qualities. Cooperation has gotten us a long way— cooperation also allows us to be more efficient at killing ourselves. However, can we say the balance is in favor either way? I'd say not. We've certainly done a great…

Wait for my book. Still in the prestages, but the idea that man need not fight against it's own creation (or the other way around) is a huge belief that I hold quite dear. Humans are adaptable. By the time we will be considering waging war on intelligent machines, we SHOULD be spacefaring. War on a space ship is just…

Right?

And let's also note that simple does not mean stupid. This was quite clever.

Good Lord.

What...what have I done?

...whaaaaat? I'm super confused. I think someone gypped you. Or else my days dropping psychedelics did much more damage than I originally thought.

...because quality does not immediately translate to popularity and status?

Be prepared to run the gamut of emotions or simply not give a shit, because I've simply never heard of someone hitting a stride inbetween. I'm sure it's possible.

But that is a special kind of crazy.

Engineer Poppenhopper called for the psychiaship.

Thus, Xaltar Moonfoot stubbed his toe.

Why don't you wait and see?

Doohohohoho.

It appears producers and the creative team for Arrow have already taken all of this into account:

What? The article is predicated on that OP DIDN'T bring it up.

They're family. You're going to engage in a conversation. Hard topics come up and you have to clam up? That's shitty family dynamic. Whatever, to each their own I guess. I'm all for minimizing unnecessary stress, especially around holidays and my…

Except that's not true. He KNOWS Pan has lied to him.

"Your parents aren't coming for you."

"Parents never come for you! They don't know what's best for you! Remember all those times your parents have made mistakes and have apologized, and we've all learned and moved on but we just keep bumbling around here on this…

Gotta keep that family intact. Even though clearly if we're going to axe a dude, it's charming. Josh Dallas is an awesome actor, he's REE-HEE-HEE-HEEEEEALLY good looking, but his character is just in the way at this point. I'd prefer swashbuckling and at least not in the way Hook to "I'm swingin' on mah swahhhhd!"…
