This is what me decided Abrams does best. Builds terrific sandbox that someone else can make awesome castles in. (see also: Fringe). Next time he reboot franchise, they should just have him make first ten minutes, then turn things over to someone else.

Being weirdly obsessed with 20th century culture has been Trek mainstay since very beginning.

Me still think some… wait for it… enterprising film editor could cut TMP down into very watchable 80- or 90-minute film.

That exactly what this movie gives us. Me saw this movie in Times Square, and left theater into sea of humanity from every corner of globe, and felt like me was still watching movie, because it gave us that same joy of seeing utopian city of races from all over galaxy working together in harmony. This one has that…

So was Ronald Moore, who created Battlestar Galactica. He made Voyager writers room sound like it was bankrupt of ideas and designed to turn talented people away, so me not hold it against Fuller.

Please. It incredibly reductive to say this only have "Star Trek clothes." You get classic Kirk-Spock-Bones dynamic, you get Scotty pulling solutions out of ass, you get idea on nature of Federation and what makes humanity tick, and you get some great action sequences. Me honestly not know what else anyone could…

TV Trek, at its best, is philosophical, and it hard to do that in two hours, when you also have to give 7 characters things to do and provide enough action to put butts in seats.

It balance action, character work, and larger themes about as well as any big-screen Trek has. But me think Beyond did that pretty well too. Yes, it was action movie, but it uses entire cast about as well as Trek ever has, gives villain somewhat interesting motivation, and despite what IV and AA say, it does have…

It couldn't have been less competently executed, but me find it impossible to believe that, after 9/11, with war in Afghanistan and Osama bin Laden at large, Gore would have dropped everything and invaded country that had no ties to Al Qaeda and was no threat to us. That ridiculous statement.

Were you told that for 8 years? Or was that one very ugly incident from president who also vocally defended affirmative action, pushed for more government contracts for minority-owned businesses, record black home ownership, and fought racial profiling by police. Me not saying he had perfect record or even great one,…

Well, that why me find it hard to imagine them bouncing back. Because Trump not outlier, he every strategy they have employed since Nixon, sharpened to point.

Me not remember exact quote, but Bush said "we have army so we can win wars." He was itching to go to war with *somebody*, whereas Gore would have continued Clinton's policy of successful, limited engagements like Yugoslavia. (And, of course, in hindsight we know Gore would have handled Al Qaeda responsibly instead of…

Jon said he timed retirement so that whoever successor was would have time to get up to speed, and then have election season with loads of material.

This what fascinates me. What happens to Republican Party next? How do they possibly bounce back from nominating white supremacist game show host? They have alienated such large swaths of country; you think Muslims or Latinos are going to forget this campaign in significant numbers and line up behind Fieri/Nugent…

Me will say this. If me could go back in time and change one thing not relating to Hitler, me would somehow make sure Bush was named commissioner of baseball. Because that was his dream job, and he never would have gotten into politics, and there no way he could have done worse job than Bud Selig. Think Dubya would…

This is why me (naively, in hindsight) thought Trump had no chance. Obama flicked him away like gnat at that dinner. Week before that dinner, Trump was Republican frontrunner. By next morning, he was out of race and no one mentioned him again.

Being prop in parents' presidential campaign probably not fun for any kid. There good reason Obama opened acceptance speech by buying Sasha and Malia new puppy.

For a lot of people, it just matter that he on their team. Cable news (among other things) has reduced politics to Yankees-Red Sox.

Me did look at Gore and W's records in 2000. That was what changed me from thinking that there no difference and it not matter, to realizing there gigantic difference and it really, really matter.
