I thought I read somewhere a rumor that the split was going to be basically right after Paul and Jessica escape and meet the Freeman. Which seems very early but kinda makes sense. You can take the first movie to really spell out the politics of everything going on and have it end with the ultimate betrayal. Then the…

Get bent. Kevin J. Anderson is the Steinbeck of his generation. You’re just jealous of his genius. You wish you had a tenth of his talent.

Finally, the long-awaited Duncan Idaho spin off!

OK, Here’s the thing - you went so over budget with the film we can only afford ONE letter for the title.... Just - turn it around a little.

I just hope that giant skull sings (or even raps!) some kind of theme song at the end.

Same universe as Emma Watson, Amandy Bynes, Lindsay Lohan, Emma Stone, Mae Whitman, Hailee Steinfeld, and Rachel Leigh Cook are unpopular

this is the kind of movie I like to see Jude Law in, ones I’m not planning to watch

Proving yet again that men’s couture fashion is created solely to make men look as ridiculous as possible by designers who hate men.

Occam’s razor says it was Tylenol or another fever reducing medicine.

On the other hand, as an American it’s kinda nice to see the Chinese taking our throne as shittiest tourists on the planet. 

Right about this time, I’d say “eat the rich”, but tainted meat made me lose my appetite so the rest of you can have my share...

In case the point went over your thick head, the episode is an advertisement for suicide

Wow. So very, entirely, completely incorrect.

It was “This Side of Paradise” from the OTS. Everyone on the ship gets sprayed by these magic spores on a planet that make them all blissed and want to abandon ship. That includes McCoy, who spends most of the episode with a drink in one hand, and Spock who falls in love. Kirk figures out how to undo the magic spores…

Michael is the Wizard (i.e., an ultimately kind-hearted deceitful fraud), and Janet is Glinda (i.e., the one with all the actual magical power). I like it.

Good point. The people who see The Good Place as mainly a puzzle box show miss the intent. It’s a relationship show.  And the previous people in The Good Place had very few relationships.

And Michael and Janet are based off the Jacksons. Which would be the worst fan theory ever. 

I mean, it probably doesn’t help that no one before the bad place crew had people that they LOVED or CARED about in The Good Place, which seems to be brought up by both Patty and Chidi at the end. What’s the good behind eternal paradise if there’s no one to share it with that you care about?

God would change the scenario entirely. It would introduce a Being whose essence (as described in either testaments) is infinite life, redemption, purpose, and creative invention. The heavenly humans in The Good Place are satiated, but not completed or unleashed. C.S. Lewis would scathe this idea of “heaven” as nothing…

Agreed, I re-watched Nemesis just to reset in my find how Picard had been left on-screen...and found the film much more entertaining than when I last saw it during it’s theatrical release 18 years ago.
