See, now that's funny.

Sorry. I was being a bit facetious, in that Marcus' death is a bit of a double whammy. He dies, for a character who is almost immediately written out. Trying to be lighthearted.

And *then* the actor playing the character you couldn't care less about declined to return to (or was fired from) season 5.

Hmm, I don't know. I enjoyed it well enough when it came out. I think it doesn't quite manage to achieve what it wants to, but I don't think that makes it shitty.

Never understood this criticism of Kirk's death. He died saving 250 million people. That's not *big* enough for some of you?!?

I know what you mean. The things you mentioned plus 6 identical meals a day... I feel like a jerk for making fun.

tl;dr

Listen, I'm no devout Apple fan-zombie. Now please join me on a 6000-word paean to all things Apple.

It's never OK.

"Aww. I was really hoping for another three movies like the prequels," said nobody ever.

Also, it appears to have balls. Just sayin'.

Well played.

No kidding. Some people really don't get a fair shake.
