Agreed on both counts, @disqus_VOEjhSGklp:disqus .

Is anybody surprised? Trump ran his entire Presidential campaign like it was a Pro Wrestling angle - at the time, I joked more than once that he must've thought he was running against Vince McMahon rather than Hillary Clinton!

@avclub-57b060f06175ba0709b4bc196aac1db8:disqus - I'd say License to Kill for Dalton's Bond, though The Living Daylights is also really good, and shows a much-needed darkness to 007 that Moore never got close to. To me, Timothy Dalton was three-quarters of the day to what Daniel Craig succeeded at, only fans still…

You know what the other secret to a long-lasting marriage is, @bizarrosacrelicious:disqus ?

I think I was thinking the argument was "Not enough people in one place in Flyover States", which certainly isn't the case, @dirtside:disqus . I wasn't touching on "rural superheroes" at all, except to say there are large cities in the US other than New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco.

In a town of 500 people, everyone knows everyone, and it would be basically impossible for a superhero to maintain a secret identity for long.

I thought we were talking about populations large enough to defend that weren't either NYC, LA or SF, @dirtside:disqus . There are a number of large or large-ish cities in what's nicknamed "The Flyover States"….

Weaver's been married to the same guy for over 30 years - and Glenn's been married to the same woman for nearly two decades longer, @bizarrosacrelicious:disqus !

Without GRRM, or another author of similar stature, looming over them, @avclub-705562aaa4a5b85bfa44373d8e6bf234:disqus ? As I think I said elsewhere here, look how GoT is doing now that they're making shit up rather than following the books.

@disqus_XDWogBfx2K:disqus - I'm pretty sure I wouldn't bank on that.

@bei_dawei:disqus - no, that would be if something NOT interested in mythology over believable storytelling was telling the story.

So when are we getting it here in the USofA, @disqus_XETDBVUGZF:disqus ?

@markk114:disqus - that's only because Spock with a goatee was so fucking hot, even Kirk would go gay for him!

No, they never did "Doggie in the Window", @nerdrrage:disqus - and given how well TOS handled prejudice normally? I'm really happy they didn't!

Seeing "The Omega Glory", @disqus_zZFhunZSJH:disqus - I finally understood Harlan Ellison's comment, "Gene Roddenberry can't write for sour owl poop."

Yangks, thanks!

@avclub-e3f5ab7f02122f95b801e13e2c586d6a:disqus - C.S.A. is clearly satire, using the "What If the South Had Won the Civil War?" premise, and stretching it even further out to "…and Taken Over the North, And Re-Introduced Slavery in the North, AND Enslaved Every Other Non-White Race in the Process?" Even as I type…

Yeah, @avclub-e56eea9a45b153de634b23780365f976:disqus .

@wykstrad:disqus - Mercedes Lackey (with Eric Flint and David Freer) has an alternate history series with a similar-ish premise.

Can I just interject here that I'd FAR rather see any of these ideas made into a series than "What is the South Won the Civil War and Slavery Survived to the 21st Century"…?
