Enough with the sucking of the Deep Space Nine dick, already! It lasted seven years; the same as TNG and the same as Voyager! It wasn't all that, and it was Rick Berman's baby - how does that make you feel? That Berman sat in "en conferens" and gesticulated madly to Paramount TV heads and said this was going to be…

1. Stewart said he wuld've rather gone with hair, but it was a family trait. Picard, in several episodes has lamented the loss of his hair, as have his crew.

@Eponymous - How am I supposed to elaborate on why I think "Voyager" is the greatest Star Trek spin-off next week if I can't ramble just a little and make insane arguments? I mean, if anybody disagrees they'll just skip over it and call me an asshat and an idiot, right?

If we weren't so ensconced within the notion of emulating either fictitious characters or rock stars or athletes or nimble celebrities, we would not be so unstable a species as what we could be.

@Michael - "Approach" is such a tricky word - not the commentary, but the approach - in that it does not particularly reveal anything. Is it bad taste or the way the words are slung? I can't and refuse to understand. What I do get is that the comments were going to be considerably more ferocious and/or…

notes on Hero Worship
In the original comments, I surmised "Her Worship" was essentially a large middle finger to fans who tend to take the show way too seriously. I related the story of a young man who was so obsessed with Spock that he trimmed his bangs, altered his eyebrows and had plastic surgery to give himself…

@Greenspan - This would've been my second, but I appreciate the audacity of the concept. Of such I would never wish the cancer that is super combined with the AIDS that is vicious of the rectum of first posters that is so common of the inheritor/troglodytes of the Forum AV.

Uh-huh. While others disagreed (in spades) at many of my comments, I really don't think the argument could be made that I'm a troll or other such jotunn or risi. In my experience, I've discovered those who tend to accuse are often the accused, therefore I will not submit that you are of the troll variety. I like…

And to my left…Mrs. Adolf Hitler.

Okay, Mr. Adolf Hitler.

I'm incensed my bullshit firstie was removed along with the entirety of the thread. It would make more sense to simply remove those offending posts - whatever they were; I really don't understand the process of deciding what is "offensive" and what is not. Let it be known history cannot be erased with a keystroke. …

I've got a happy bonus for ya…in my pants!

Yeah pretty fucked up all that writing/analysis I did gets washed away because some people can't keep it in their fucking pants and have to ejaculate it all over their monitors to get a few salacious digs in - real fucking mature, apparently. Apologies to the AV Club for starting the dialogue in the first place. …

The most troubling aspect is the lack of subtext in the end - rape analogies about mind-rape involving actual rape fantasies (quoting myself here)… Harlan Ellison wrote a great story on the subject. Title escapes me, but it really does hit home in regard to actual consequences and the violence of the anger of those…

Primer was a brilliant if jarring/confusing movie. Mostly due to the limited budget - it had the dual effect of intentionally making the viewer "feel" the effects of time travel as they watched; almost like a sickness as a side effect of this method of travel - I don't know if anybody else felt it - and bringing to…

Frewer's character's absence in the 22nd Century time-line would cause complications for the future, but Picard and Co behave as though con men don't have repercussions in their future. I guess when the Enterprise did not cease to exist after the ship vanished, they were all good.

Okay, I guess I was a little confused as to usage. Midichlorians - are they a "retcon"? What about the Augments in Enterprise?

People spend more time bitching about my opinions then confronting them directly - except of course to call me an asshole - that's hilarious.

Ah Voyager-bashing, how I missed it!

I can't quite remember the first use of it; maybe it was Tim Burton's Batman where it was the Joker (as a much younger man) who killed Bruce Wayne's parents. The Star Wars prequels made use of ret-conning and Voyager and Enterprise dabbled in it.
