Hell, TNG probably did that plot as good as it can be done, and it still created massive internet flamewars over the sexism. I also recall the mate in question being pretty hot. Yup, she was hot all right, spots or no spots.

He produced District 9. That's worth something.

@Strictly speaking — Thanks for the heads up! I shall do my happy dance now.

Oooh, Ajax, the B5 fanboys would eat you alive for saying it looks like a bad version of DS9! A lot of people think Paramount took the idea for B5 (the creator apparently pitched it to them) and made DS9. It's a long story I'll not bother with.

No show not named Star Trek would have made it out of its first season with episodes like that. Except Bab5, but they managed it by utilizing TNG hate.

Rarely has young actor been as seriously hosed over as Wheaton was in terms of material. He was Rodenberry's Mary Sue and it showed. And his S1 write-ups are to die for. Too bad that project ended, I thought they were brilliant.

Is this a joke?
I mean, really. Someone tell me this is a joke? Please?

You know, sometimes people just want cotton candy. Even grown-ups sometimes just want something super sweet that has no real nutritional or educational value.

"Slough" in South Texan can also refer to a small creek.

Ouch, y'all are right. Pre-reboot, The big E didn't get made flagship until after the TOS era.

Nice catch! Probably something to do with the Enterprise being the flagship, and thus special, so it keeps its hull number, whereas other, not-so-special ships can be reuse names, but get new hull numbers

Does it have Colm Meany in it? for a while it seemed all movies set in Ireland were required to have him. Which is okay, I like Colm, but still..

No incest!

Somebody wake up Hicks.

Maybe he just wants some dumn but fun movies to get a paycheck while he gets himself back together.

Oh come on, this is the damn A-Team, not a war doc. Parachuting out in a tank? Awesome!

Just remember, if you're not sure, then the claymore is always pointed at YOU.

What we have here is a cartoon, except that it's insulting to cartoons. Bugs Bunny was more subtle in his political allegory. The idea that it took balls to create a set of over the top corporate villains (even if they are human) for the audience to cheer the good guys to kill is a load of horse shit.

As I recall, the Native Americans were all over the idea of steel arrowheads, and glass when they could get it. They also liked rifles.

Tenpenny was a douche, and I wasted him on my second play through on general principles, but a lot of the people didn't deserve slaughtering. Oh, and JS Brown, that wasn't Ben Franklin, that was some other Founder-dude the robot was playing. I liked that robot too, he was, as you say, stand up.
