Damn! This is exactly what I was going to say. The idea of aliens wasn't out of place in the Indiana Jones universe, and no less ridiculous than the lost Ark of the Covenant or the Holy Grail. The problem was that it was handled very, very badly. Of course, you could say that practically the entire film was badly…

Why is this happening? Haven't we suffered enough?

I've read Tomorrow Stories, which I absolutely loved, and Promethea, which I'm still trying to understand; all the magic and occult stuff is really not in my wheelhouse, frankly. I'm not sure if I've read Top Ten though. *Sigh* Yet another in a long list of things I'll have to read.

I've read almost everything Alan Moore's written. I love his writing and I think he's brilliant. But, after a while, his complaints about film adaptations of his works start to wear thin. Not that I blame him in some cases. League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and From Hell were abominations. Oddly enough, one of the few…

I'm starting to think Alan Moore has never enjoyed anything in his entire life…

Haven't we all learned by now that Alan Moore will never, ever enjoy any adaptation?

We've seen, time and again, that the "good guys" in the world of The Walking Dead end up either dead or adapt to the zombie apocalypse by becoming cold blooded killers. Look at the people in Terminus. Initially, they offered people asylum, until a gang took the place over and tortured and raped and killed them. The…

I'm not sure who the girl in the tight skirt is, but goddamn…

Yeah. Thankfully, the zombie apocalypse wiped out the vast majority of the human race and took texting with it. So, always look on the bright side, I guess…

I vote for reboot. After the twin disasters of Rick Berman and J. J. Abrams, Star Trek needs to wriggle its way out of the straitjacket of decades of accumulated failure. Trash it all, I say, and restart the whole thing over again.

I couldn't agree more. It's time to bury the Abrams reboot. Now that Star Wars is back up to form after The Force Awakens, Abrams' Star Wars demo reel—labeled Star Trek by corporate fiat—has served its (Abrams') purpose and can finally be given the death it so richly deserves.

I couldn't agree with you more. I've said for a long time now that Star Trek 2009 was Abrams' demo reel to convince Lucas that he could direct a Star Wars film. There is nothing of Trek in the Abrams films. Of course, Abrams wasn't the first to make a Star Trek film in name only. That distinction must go to the TNG…

So, Indiana Jesus, essentially… We know Jesus already had access to a whip. Add a fedora and you've got yourself a franchise…

I don't know. The OT God is kinda hands-off after the flood. I guess the writers didn't know what to do with a character who's just committed genocide against most of the human race. It's sort of like the first and second seasons of Battlestar Galactica. After the Cylons wiped out most humanity, they showed up from…

A missed opportunity. I wonder how Robert Kirkman would have written the crucifixion?

Yeah, I agree. If you look at a movie like Ben-Hur, Jesus makes a couple brief appearances, but you never see his face though, sort of like Wilson on Home Improvement.

I don't know. The whole ending seems rushed and not-well-thought-out to me. I think the writers didn't know how to get the characters out of the whole second-coming will-he/won't-he predicament. Sometimes an ambiguous ending is preferable, because the resolution to a mystery a lot of times isn't as satisfying as the…

The zombie thing, while excellent fun, is, if I'm not mistaken, a throw-away line in one gospel. No reports of said zombies eating people, sadly. Golden opportunity missed to take the franchise in a totally unexpected direction. And the Revelation God is more of a reboot back to the fire-and-brimstone God of the OT.…

It's why I hated the finale of Battlestar Galactica.

You can't make a character with no flaws dramatically interesting. That's why most filmmakers have the good sense to either give Jesus some flaws or relegate him to a cameo appearance. It's why the Devil in Paradise Lost is so much more interesting than God. And it's also why the Old Testament God is more interesting…
