I’m so sorry that my personal enjoyment of something has bothered you.

so... Dune is now Denis Villeneuve’s ?

Max’s new prequel to Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi saga follows the rise of the Bene Gesserit, 10,000 years before the events of Dune

Looks fun. Maybe a little too shallow and childish, but I’d guess that’s the demographic they’re targeting because toys.

The thing is, there is a clear hunger among TV viewers for a traditional 22-26 episode season every year. The prestige model of a dozen or fewer episodes in what amounts to a kind of longform movie was always an alternative to the old model, not a replacement. This approach yields a lot of filler, of course, but it…

My wish list, in no particular order:

Thanks for the detailed reply! I vaguely remember the Southern Cross, but not nearly as much as the SDF-1 storyline. I’ll check it out.

Harmony Gold’s business plan always seemed to be to make money off of lawsuits and not the actual content. I’m 42 and I swear they’ve worked harder to prevent me from enjoying a franchise I loved as a kid (and which led me to Battletech, one of my favorite things ever) than they have to make money off of me.

If I’ve…

Awesome. I just want people to keep giving Villeneuve gobs of money to make beautiful, weird sci-fi blockbusters. Especially after Bladerunner 2049 flopped, despite being a masterpiece.

Sure, Dune is technically now a million dollar franchise but this is such a triumph for a weird, hard-to-grasp, sci fi movie to achieve this much success.

Geoff is our Dorito Pope.

This is not a difficult concept and it’s insane so many people are missing the point.

The animated series ended in 1974, which was 50 years ago. It did not feature Jonathan Frakes in the finale.

Every single series afterward HAS.

It has thus been 50 years since a series did NOT feature him in the finale.

Why is this so…

Picard also ended, having featured Frakes.

There seems to be some confusion among the commentariat. Perhaps clarification is needed

There’s probably an entire planet of Rikers out there. Just Riker manoeuvring around 

Spoken like a 16 year old who has never held a job.

This is loser behavior.

Would love to see more Yelena, she’s a bag of fun. Not sure she’s much of a team player, but hell, she’s fun. :D

We’ve lost Falcon and gained a new Captain America since Sam is now Cap. Thor still being part of the Avengers is a bit iffy as well since I recall reading somewhere that Hemsworth planned on stepping away from the Thor role for at least a while.
