The captain's name is Jack Harkness, I assume? You may be watching the wrong show.

The heartening part of this "controversy" is that several well-meaning and well-liked people, gay and straight, get to have credible opinions about how to make the world, and the portrayal of people in entertainment, better. So this whole thing doesn't make me feel bad.

I get that completely, because in Takei's mind, when he was originating this iconic role, he was not playing a gay character. I suspect that's why it sticks in the craw rather than being a mere "Pshaw, whatever."

Oh, interesting.

The only thing I find a little weird is that the writers didn't get in some sort of touch with him beforehand. I suspect Takei's public reaction here wouldn't have been the same if he felt like he'd been consulted. I like gay Sulu, I like retractively-gay Sulu but I suspect Takei wasn't playing a gay character and on…

I hated Man of Steel and thought Watchmen missed the mark by a wide margin (I didn't quite hate it). I don't like Snyder and anything of his I like I assume was more or less an accident. This movie is pretty much despised by consensus. It's not a good bet.

I know this was pretty universally despised, and I'm not a Snyder booster or anything (I certainly disliked Man of Steel enough) but I liked most everything about this movie, and a lot of things people criticized about it didn't bother me (e.g. "Martha").

It's intended to convey, even overstate, how complex it all is; not make it clearer.

It was truly magnificent, Gary was absurd and hilarious, and he's funny and completely poignant in a way the character totally. "At least I gave a shit", so devastatingly true.

This has been so commonly missed I don't understand why. Do you remember why she was blinded in the first place?

That was almost jarring; but I took it as a measure of how much time passed between the Trial by Fire and Dany sailing (some weeks at least).

You won't find many people to play it with: you win or you die.

It was always like sex as an intellectual exercise rather than a dirty, juicy chemical thing. Even in the second episode, where off the bat Data turns out to be a sex robot and bangs someone with huge sex appeal, it's still all so dry somehow.

And his musical variety show, "Cal Noonion: Sing the Cowl Nooniun Song!"

I liked Voyager a lot. I know it's not generally well-received.

You know, my kid has been watching a bunch of the different Star Trek shows, and even this head-peeling, body blasting extravaganza seems out-of-place gruesome for Star Trek. I don't think I want much more graphicness in my violence.

Yup, turkey legs, "dragon scale" nachos and elephant ears for some reason.

It's a big pile of "Yes, please."
