I admire your restraint. You are being far more kind to him than I am. Just reading your generous (is he “intelligent” though!?) words makes me want to curse him out for at least 500 more words.

So... tired... Time for a two day news break.

I’m willing to wait for more context for this story.

National Stop and Frisk is not a rational expectation, but there could be things just as bad coming from a Bloomberg admnistration. That said, a Bloomberg administration would be objectively better than a Trump administration. Just, I mean, that’s an incredibly low-assed bar. Come on now, let’s be reasonable and not…

Black women who think for themselves and are willing to push against what’s expected of them. Black women who have voices and thoughts and feelings that don’t agree with everyones concept of “Black” or even “woman”. Black women who ally themselves with what they feel is in their best interests and support that…

The best thing “for everybody” is pretty consistently defined by a small number of rich white people, who are not interested in deals. They are interested in wealth and power.

Many of them are worse because they are getting desperate. They are sweating bullets about being “replaced”. So they know the score.

Could it be that they genuinely don’t care about the characters arc, and just want to tell a story that has an old guy named Picard in it? I mean, lack of context for an established character having a personality shift that eradicates the work of previous writers and the actor himself isn’t irritating to you guys?

I’ll just say I disgree.

Hope it doesn’t involve Finn. After what IX did with him and Rose, I’d rather never see the character again.  

You’re “That Guy” aren’t you?  The one people are always saying they don’t want to be?  

Genuinely excited for what they do next. It keeps getting better and better as it goes along. What started as a fun, cool video game homage developed into an action-packed high-quality drama, which used deep cuts into a video game series to develop a vibrant and immersive mythology. Rarely does an adaptation not only…

Somebody hasn’t read enough science fiction.

In his defense...

Fair enough that you enjoy it. But my question is always: “Why does this need to be Star Trek”? If you want to create art that “speaks to the times” (and it’s debatable how well latter day Trek even does this), then do it. Create something new and timely. Don’t destroy something and assemble the pieces into something…

I’m sorry. I wasn’t saying all allegory is worthless at all. Let me elaborate.

Agreed. The trend is to strip out the core elements of existing properties, fill the husk with cheap “allegory” (that will not age well) and melodrama worthy of middling a YA series, and sprinkle the whole brew liberally with fan-service to minimize the grumbling of existing fans. Also: kicking. *chefs kiss* That’s…

Say more, right now.

You are dumb and looking really hard for a fight that doesn’t even exist.  Sit down.

Holy shit, WHAT!?
