Many of the ones from August read as troll-like. The ones from December look like pretty run of the mill actual serious things some people believe.

Here’s the problem: That’s like saying the purpose of the military is to end it’s own purpose. To create such a good peace that a military is no longer necessary.

I always love the “I’m against unions because we have labor laws! I’m also against labor laws.” attitude.

breaking: campaign considers doing a lot of things it decides are probably dumb to do in the end

The RNC realizes they need to do that outreach, but the base voters in the GOP aren’t interested in that.

She had opposition research on Bernie, she just didn’t use it because

Here is what I’m wondering. Would Sanders have been able to calmly respond to Trump in the debates as Hillary did, or would he go just as off the rails? That wouldn’t necessarily help him.

“the First Amendment protects it from being named and subsequently harassed.”

Right? While the intention is that good “heroes” will tamp down on harassment, I think we’ve seen repeatedly that often those doing the harassing are often better organized and more motivated to attack people trying to stop them because, well, that’s largely what they do anyway, while people trying to moderate often…

Both Giacchino and Desplat are fantastic. I was looking forward to seeing what Desplat could do with it since it seems like Giacchino is everywhere at this point, but I won’t say no to him.

I think the new guy who is going to be/already is good at this is Michael Giacchino. Despite what you might think of the movies themselves, the new Star Trek movies have a definite and memorable theme to me. And of course Alan Silvestri (who did the Avengers theme and first Captain America movie - the two MCU movies…

I had noticed this too when going through the soundtracks of some of these movies. Aside from the Avengers theme or maybe some of the Captain America themed music it’s just all so....blah.

I think blame can be spread all around, really.

If Discovery gets cancelled, it’s because CBS was dumb enough to put it online only and charging people $7.99 or whatever a month to watch it.

Hmm. The 4.5 star ratings Star Trek and Into Darkness get on sites like Amazon seem to contradict a lot of hard core trekker’s assertions that it has done some sort of irreparable harm.

Oh that was the end of the third season/start of the fourth, which I think was actually it’s best season so feel free to go back and watch the last season. But yeah, you can skip the actual last episode. Probably regarded as the worst Star Trek finale by far.

Perhaps the closest one is Space Engineers. Although it’s less because I don’t like the game but because they have made it nearly impossible to play, especially on multiplayer. I put 600 hours into it and finally threw up my hands and gave up when we could barely have 2 or 3 people on a server and barely do anything.

at least until they realize that there are a lot of people who aren’t going to be willing to pay $10 to watch one channel

Yeah, I’m conflicted on it. On the one hand, I want Star Trek and hope they don’t take the show failing because people don’t want to pay $10 a month for a single show as a reason to just never do it again. On the other hand, I don’t want to reward them for trying to force people to pay their subscription cost for one…

Meh, I’ve about gone with Amazon Prime for this. I used to watch Netflix all the time until I found that most of the stuff I wanted to watch was ALSO on Prime anyway. I have a feeling the same is true for Hulu.
