Personal attacks do that to someone. If you want people to be nice to you from week to week then you should mind your temped when you don't see eye to eye.

Why aren't there more asperger serial killers than just (possibly) Jeffery Dahmer? Most murderers are guided by their emotions. The definition of psychopath is someone who pleasures themselves at the expense of others. The worst aspies do is insult you as a matter of fact, which Data does a lot.

Except he has relationships he values and he does have empathy beyond he believes he has because he is able to relate his desires and experiences with others on a regular basis. He may not have the ability to understand what he's doing in that context, but he does it.

Neeya, neeya! LOL!

That's probably because Kirk was so hands on you could spend the whole hour with him on the planet. Also, you didn't need to have a subplot with Sulu and Uhura that would take you back up there.

I guess I'm not a purposefully contrarian  who doesn't like anything when you agree with me, huh? Funny how that works.

Please tell us more about Jeri's tits.

Here's another problem with the transition of the Borg from assimilating tech to people. Why would introducing Hugh's individuality be problematic for the Borg? If they are constantly introducing individuals to their collective why would Hugh cause them to go haywire? After all, they were all individuals once, right?…

Well, you have an ethical subroutine that can be turned off with some torture, some alcohol, or even some direct orders from someone you think will take the ultimate blame.

My goodness the Enterprise is full of bullies. Every time someone mettle is tested in command there's some ass hole there to complain and degrade them. Ro with Troi in Disaster, Hobson with Data in Redemption, Davies with Wesley in Pen Pals, Logan with Geordi in Arsenal of Freedom. I don't know why TNG needed to…

It's all a red shirt could want.

Of all the people on the ship (except maybe Bev), Picard is the most involved with Worf's personal life. He had to defend him to the High Council. From that point on they have a unique understanding of each other. I also think Picard like playing Klingon.

@avclub-438f54f8c5a3a6f58ce5a69d37294fe9:disqus I think the problem with TMP isn't really the length or subject, but the fact that Kirk isn't the hero. The only thing he gets right in the whole movie is to enter the cloud against Decker's advice and the bluff to see Vger personally. Otherwise he's pretty petulant and…

Billy, I'm really disappointed. All I said was the game spoiled itself by feeding solutions to the player at certain points. I didn't say it actually came easy to me because I'm so flipping smart.

Really? I felt like it was too easy. The thing I found most annoying about it was that if you sit staring at it long enough the crew start making suggestions. "Why don't you hit the Chodak with a soda can?" "Shit! I was just about to DO THAT!!!!"

What am I paranoid about, exactly?

Listen, man, I'm going to level with you. Do you see how many responses there are to my post? How
many of them are complaining about me personally? You and Epon, out of
30 something other posters. Not all of them agree with me, but they can
all be civil and stay on the subject instead of making it personal. You…

I agree with that. But FC is one of those movies where people get really personal and mad when there's criticism. Like there is something fundamentally wrong with you for not liking it. Evan's comment about Plinkett having a mission to trash things people enjoy instead of, you know, being a critic.

Yes, that is trollish behavior. That's my point. This is exactly what Eponymous said to me in my earlier thread.
