“we’re not making films for six year olds”

Jeez. If it happens once or twice you can write it off as networks being micro-managing dicks, but for it be happening this often you’ve got to think Fuller is the problem.

Well I’d be shocked if he hadn’t just done this multiple times already.

I’m starting to think he’s the asshole in the room.

I wanna be a fly on the wall when someone tells a bartender their glass is dirty “cause it’s got bubbles on the sides, see?” That will be hilarious.

There’s a difference between critic & audience reviews on RT.

1. I can’t wait

Those people are the absolute worst and will be the downfall of this country. Trump could not possibly BE more of an obvious slave and blackmailed stooge of Putin’s and every single person around him has all these strange Russian connections that they lie about, badly.

I mean, I’m still living in a reality where calling someone a “social justice warrior” is considered an insult. That would be like calling your least favorite person a “popular, attractive local hero” and then smugly smiling about how much you just burned that person.

Like the deep state could ever be defeated so easily if it actually existed. They’d arrest some people and put them in prison... BUT THAT’S JUST WHAT THE DEEP STATE WOULD WANT! So they’d have to arrest Trump, because clearly him seemingly defeating the deep state is actually what they’d want, so he’d have to be in on…

Thank you. Continuity was never as airtight as people make it out to be. There were always inconsistencies. It’s to be expected on a series that’s 50 years old and has had many writers and showrunners.

Here are my thoughts on the spore drive:

All of which is to say, we can at least have a discussion about how this show goes about its business without one of us stomping out of the room. But if you have a credible defense of why in the hell this is all happening before the start of the original series, I’m all ears. The more time goes by, the more…

Almost every show might as well be a soft reboot since Star Trek has always been bad with continuity. Voyager shouldn’t exist because ships could already cross the entire galaxy in days in TOS.

Just came to say that I’ve watched the first couple of episodes of Altered Carbon on Netflix, and it only increases my disappointment that the A.V. CLUB decided against regular coverage.

Warren Ellis’ ‘Transmetropolitan’ comic series played around with that idea. Cancer had a simple vaccine so everyone, everywhere is smoking constantly. He also had the terrific idea that, with food replicators, you could ethically eat anything you wanted, so things like owl eyes were popular delicacies. Delicious. Who…

Agreed. Smoking is cool. Not cool enough to justify the cost, not by a long shot. But if you could smoke without it killing you?

I read it the first time a couple of years ago and I was fascinated by what the old rich guy Bancroft considered to be true depravity. I guess internet porn got really prudish in the future.

So Blade Runner 2049 gets a pass on its bad dialogue, lame pseudo-philosophical text (and sub text), undeveloped anti-capitalist message, excessive brooding, and nudity but this show gets called out for them. I haven’t seen AC so I can’t defend it but it does seem a little unfair.

I’m not surprised they smoke. I would expect them to smoke more. Got a new tumor? Why go through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation? Get a new sleeve! Got emphysema? Why take medication or carry an oxygen tank around? Just get a new sleeve! Heck, if they are cheap enough and painless enough and you want to engage in…
