I’ve said it many times, I feel the right direction is to abandon the time travel plots —it was only used the first time because Cameron didn’t have the budget to do his vision of a future war justice, and the second time was just a bigger faster version of the first plot. The real meat of the Terminator is the future…

That’s because your grandmother killed that moth’s grand-moth-er. It’s a cycle of revenge that continues to this day.

Let me get this straight. This is a PUBLIC BROADCASTING network, aka those people who depend entirely on begging the public for money so they can stay in operation. And they’re really going to sue someone as beloved as Levar Burton? That level of bad PR has got to be lethal to their donation campaigns.

For that matter,…

People keep forgetting that the humans were PROHIBITED BY HUMAN LAW from simply attacking and destroying the Na’vi. Quaritch and his grunts were there to provide security ONLY. Most of the shit the company did was at least pushing the edges of what they were allowed to do, and when Quaritch finally said fuck it and…

I’ve argued that it should be that way and remain that way. Even as a child, it’s easy to see that the people in power are all the same race and species and gender and the rest of the population is varied and diverse. It’s obvious that this can’t be coincidence, that the other people must not have power and…

It was an 80s thing. While not universal, there was definitely a trend where gay fashion crossed over and some very gay-coded stuff was rebranded as straight and masculine and considered the bleeding edge of cool. While it was recognized as being co-opted from gay culture, that was considered a plus because it was…

This is Leonard Nimoy thinking that maybe if he gave a serious enough expression he could will the audience to not notice that prop is made of leftover plumbing parts through sheer gravitas alone.

I’m up for more alien cat strippers.

Pepto Bismol. Klingons of that very specific era had blood that was identical in color and consistency to Pepto Bismol. It’s something else they don’t talk about with outsiders.

I thought Kirk’s cousin was playing quarterback for the Redskins. He probably won’t be available.

There is about enough of that left at this point to power a small backyard fireworks display, maybe. Not blow up a starship.

As Mr Scott said, “Aye, and if my grandmother had wheels she’d be a wagon”.

Reboot Kirk does, yes. Prime Kirk was very much NOT the rampant womanizer nor the seat-of-his-pants maverick rogue popular culture misremembers him as.

It’s still so very obviously a reboot that it’s hard to imagine how they thought they’d fool more than a handful of the most die-hard apologists and those who haven’t seen enough Trek to actually know or care.

You do have a point. That woman approached Tina Turner levels of still rocking a body far beyond the years anyone would imagine possible.

Maybe so, but it would still would have been a -bad- TOS episode.

OMG THAT IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. That is now my official explanation for that entire movie. THANK YOU.

Some of the character interactions in the slower scenes, especially the campfire stuff, was just beautiful. Now that DeForest Kelley and Leonard Nimoy are gone, they’re like home movies of beloved older relatives since passed on. Every moment is precious and you can’t watch without teary eyes and a head full of…

I love the Matrix sequels and feel they are very much misunderstood. I mean, literally people have no idea what actually was going on and misjudged the entire direction the plot took and why things happened the way they did.

At the time I was really appreciative of how they didn’t insult the intelligence of the…
