Why did you just salute me twice? I’m not in the military (though I do feel like I’ve been through the wars since November 9 2016).

Spartacus reference.

Actually it is, what is more surprising in this conversation is that you didn’t just accidentally type 360 degrees. Give me dong-based shows! I would love more scenes like the one where Segovax gets his dick chopped off and you see it lying on the ground while blood pours out of his crotch. I’d love for there to be a…

“SOMETIMES???”

You are truly a humorless fool sometimes. I’m being heavily sarcastic here.

Well, being a straight male I find sex scenes between unclothed women and clothed men to be the most erotic out there. I really like wondering how the zipper feels on the guys dong... its like this mystery on the mix between pain and pleasure gets me going.

God you’ve got such a warped perspective.

you’re parsing it wrong. Self-righteousness is the bane of every 20 year old. Half a billion 20 year olds is indeed “a generation” but it’s not the generation that makes the group self-righteous, it’s the age of the members.

Sisko was one of the best characters anywhere in the Trek franchise, and not just because Avery Brooks is an actor equally capable of showing his inner life or, to coin a phrase, the mask of command. The set-up for development of his character offered unusual opportunity, and both he and the writers lived up to the…

You had the opportunity to drop “Words are wind” here, man!

It’d be kind fun if Issacs became the Discovery-version of Tom Cavanaugh in The Flash. Let’s pull an Issacs from another universe, and distinguish him with a Scottish accent. And maybe a fedora. Issacs managed to endear himself to me, notwithstanding that his character was prickly and amoral.

“Eurocentrism” is also thinking of Rome as primarily a European civilization, when they primarily saw themselves as Mediterranean. The Romans considered Syria and Egypt to be far more integral parts of their territory than they did for Gaul and Spain. Most of what we consider the heart of Europe was considered…

You are one of those trekkies that make other trekkies feel embarrassed for and because of. You are so gung-ho in your worship of Roddenberry that you ignore a simple truth...

Sadly history is full of examples of ineffectual dictators -Hitler/Mussolini/Mao/Stalin were all ineffectual in certain ways, some of them vastly more than others. Now the systems we set up in this country to protect ourselves from dictators have been eroded/ignored/attacked (judicial system/law enforcement/voting…

I still rate B5 as one of the best cross-season storylines on TV.

To be extra fair... don’t besmirch B5! Even by today’s standards that show rocks. BSG is the one that came closest to really covering some of the darker aspects of B5. (DS9 was good too, my favorite Star Trek). Man... I watched it after the election and watching Captain John stand up to the tyrannical forces of…

Just because Trump won doesn’t mean Kimmel had no effect. For all you know, thousands of people who were going to vote for Trump changed their mind... just not enough (or in the right precincts) for it to turn the tide. Your logic makes about as much sense as saying “The Yankees lost the game, so despite trying to…

Yeah! Instead of broadcasting ideas to an audience of millions, like Kimmel, we should post all our ideas on pop culture website comment threads, like you.

Supersonically serpentine story of souls in a suspicious Shangri-la, studying Sartres.

Phasma didn’t do a whole lot, but she didn’t do anything in The Force Awakens either. She’s a side character, a sub-boss.
