It also felt like there was a power shift every month amongst the human ships. I know that drama drives plot, but I find it to believe that with an enemy bent on genocide that the remaining 50k people of a species would still be trying to cut each others' throats on such a regular basis. Once? Maybe so.

"We don't know what the fuck we're doing" - the writers for Falling Skies.

After the 1st season, Battlestar Galactica characters seemed to shift allegiances every 3rd episode.

Tell that to the import / mod car show reps, and see if you don't get curbstomped.

I think Luc Besson / Catherine Leterrier / Milla Jovovich had a pretty realistic feeling interpretation:

“War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is ... ... ... ... ... strength?”

Spent a good deal of the week catching up on Elementary and Hannibal.

Oh, I understand. It's just that execs would have cast Skerritt as the hero before Stanton. I just think HDS could have successfully played lead roles when he was younger, and his intelligence is way sexier than Skerritt's ... Skerritt-ness.

Ugh. I do not want to picture Tom Skerritt in a tank top & panties. Not even young Tom Skerritt.

edit - We both enjoyed the film, and each others' company, and it started off a great night of talking and getting to know each other. Our conversations post-movie were more important to the First Date experience than the movie.

And Braveheart was her pick at the ticketbooth. She definitely wasn't high-fiving over the violence. Mostly clenching my arm or hiding her face in my shoulder (like so many horror movies that also make for fun date movies - not for everyone of course). She wanted to see the costumes, knew about the romance angle of…

Oh, it worked out fine. It's a date, not a psychological evaluation.

I highly doubt a film featuring the implied gay lover of Edward III being thrown out a window to his death by Edward II is First Date material for a man dating a man.

Actually, the romance between Wallace and his wife, her murder, his revenge, his entire war w/ the British as a result of that first murder, his affair w/ the princess, and the end torture / seeing his wife's "ghost" / "FREEDOM ! ! ! " were total panty-drowners (to quote her) for my date, who ended up being my gf of…

Best for me were Braveheart and How to Train your Dragon, each upon first release.

Worst First Date movie ever:

Eh, who wants to watch character arcs more satisfying than anything Episodes I-III could put together come to fruition?
