“You should only reboot things that are good ideas that were not executed right the first time.”

I like that this is more of a continuation. This allows old characters to show up from time to time.

I think they MASSIVELY botched the reveal of the series by calling it a reboot. However as it came out it was a revival/sequel the more I came around like Marti Noxon. As with anything I am still apprehensive but it seems like this are moving in the right direction all around.

Hari Seldon is already in a good place to be portrayed by an Indian woman by name alone.

This is a good point, and it’s a fair critique of Asimov (Especially the later sequel books. Let’s not talk about Bliss...). But the way he wrote his characters, would make it pretty straight forward to gender swap most of them. Hardin could easily be a woman, underestimated by Anacreon. Fill in a lot of the political…

Yeah, I’m wondering that as well. While I’ll always be fond of Asimov because his books were part of my formative years, his writing really hasn’t aged well in terms of characters in general and female characters in particular. Even his male protagonists are pretty much just vehicles for Asimov’s big ideas. He’s a…

I heard that there aren’t enough male actors in Hollywood to play all the (almost exclusively) male characters in “Foundation”, so Scarlett Johansson is going to play Hari Seldon.

I jest, I jest. Of course there are female characters in “Foundation”. Why, the first one enters the story as early as chapter 5 of part V.…

He didn't invent the issues with race and gender in comics. Someone should cover them. 

It’s the most popular show on television or some shit. Not watching it is not enough for it to leave me alone - since I’m a nerd, that means that every muggle in my orbit feels compelled to constantly bring it up in conversation. I know for a fact that this piece of shit show is shaping how other people view me as a…

I mean, that’s obvious and isn’t really making any kind of point. The people that don’t like this show didn’t watch it, a lot of people hated this show because of the tired, old, stupid stereotypes it pushed about “nerd” culture. Basically anything involving minorities or women was bottom of the barrel “comedy”.…

Same here. I tried (TRIED) to watch an episode but then I couldn’t figure out why the group of friends in the show didn’t murder the Sheldon fellow in his sleep and burn his heart in order to cleanse the apartment of his taint. I can’t remember the last time I watched a show that had a character I wanted to hurt so…

Of course, with all the toxic fanboys out there, TBBT has pretty much proven to be a documentary.

The italics mean this is a reference to the title of the show, not the character’s name

I’m relieved to know she’s sticking with JJ through the end of S3, though I wonder if this means Netflix wasn’t in a hurry to lock down more seasons of its Marvel shows.  Can’t blame her for getting that paper, though. 

I’d say their tv division is doing just fine.

Here’s how Thrawn should be introduced.

Honestly I would love it if the new trilogy (and subsequent trilogy) was:
Episode VII - A New Hope Remade
Episode VIII - Screw you Abrams thats dumb to remake the original trilogy, right Treveow?
Episode IX - Screw you Rion I’ve got IX now and I’m gonna do what I want.
Johnson Trilogy Vol. 1 - Screw JJ Again!

OFFS.

Sweet Christmas, that’s some good casting!
