Trust me, E, I get that. I'm not defending the scene - the only point it served was to show a woman semi-dressed. And the Uhura scene from the first was basically the same thing (and also a semi-nude green babe). Do I find the scene offensive? No. Do I find it a bummer that the scene only exists to objectify a woman?…

Yes. Thank you for noticing.

Uh, to bring in the females? Titillation works both ways. Let's not forget women have desires as well - Hollywood hasn't.

I forgot, here in the 21st century we've quit sexualizing women unnecessarily. They are no longer scantily clad in beer commercials, jeans ads, magazines, Pirelli calendars, etc. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, it is what it is. And come on, it's Alice Eve looking delicious in bra and panties!!!

Not really: Roddenberry was a class-A horndog.

Hmmm….boobs.

Alice Eve looked spectacular in her underwear BTW. And anyone that says, "Oh, that was sexist and has nothing to do with Star Trek", obviously has never scene a minute of the original series.
Uh, Uhuru/Rand/every female crew member wore a skirt that barely covered her ass; Andrea in "what Are Little Girls Made Of?";…

Lucas is obviously the Alpha-Nerd - having created the nerdiest shit to ever exist - it is only logical that he is afraid of females, thus could not bring himself to put too many in the series. Leia's presence is obviously a manifestation of some "incorrect" feelings he had towards a female relative, which is why it…

That's actually the other side of Rush's Hemispheres album.

Maybe he's waiting for "Remo Williams: The Adventure Continues".

I've never owned a Rega, heard they are high-quality though. I have several: Thorens, Technics, and a Dual from the late 70's that is my favorite just cuz I've had it for so long (and I saved an entire year when I was 17 to buy it).

Well done, Mrs. Alger - stay strong. Regardless of my name and avatar, I've been dry for a long while.

He said "former".

I wasn't a big fan until Hot Fuzz. He won me over completely with his performance.

WTF? No love for Fred Ward??

Please go on, Mr. Cappadocius.
