Anyone else imagine Ailes as behaving like a Hollywood exec from the '50s?

I thought it was funny that people who thought Obama was a Marxist were upset that he appointed so many Czars.

Look at what's happened to me-ee
I can't believe it myself
Suddenly I've been shot up into space
I wish it was somebody else

Well, they would just have him swear in English!

I've heard that, but I still wonder why they didn't just go "Let's make Picard an Englishman with a French father" or something.

I wonder why he couldn't have been an Englishman with some French/Swiss heritage.

I think TNG in general gets a bad rap for being humorless. I've heard people say it wasn't fun and took itself too seriously, which I really don't see. Hell, in one episode Picard drew a smiley-face in a warp core breach!

What I don't understand is why they didn't just make the captain English.

I'm a liberal and I still think he seems like a cool guy. There are many good people with obnoxious views, I'd prefer them to assholes whose views I agree with.

New York sure was way better back when it was a hellhole.

I think season 9 actually was a pretty good recovery from season 8.

Babylon 5's last season was pretty unnecessary except for the finale, which was always meant to be the series finale and would've been aired at the end of season 4 if the show hadn't got a 5th season.

Is there any evidence other than what she said?

I tend to think of Sam Waterston the same way.

As someone who's been a big fan of sports and sci-fi since I was a kid, I wish there were more works of fiction that combined the two. Most that do tend to be about some dystopian death sport that keeps the unwashed masses in line. I'd like to see a story about sports in the future where sports occupies the same role…

What about the Titanic? DID IT SINK???

I think it has some of the ingredients to make a good conventional space opera in the Fifth Element/Guardians of the Galaxy vein, if they tone down some of the less commercially viable elements.

I think Lexx would be good for a reboot as a movie franchise.

It's kinda weird that, with all the movies based on old TV shows we've had in recent decades, relatively few of them have been based on sci-fi shows.

Would you enjoy watching the apoplectic rage Jon would be in as a result of Trump's success?
