Because I have an opinion besides "it was awesome bro?"  Uh, okay.  Andy Rooney argued over minutiae, and pop culture is more or less made up of minutiae by definition, so we're all Andy Rooney here.

Not really, I haven't made any offensively hyperbolic claims that my childhood has been raped.  What annoys me is that these fan films aren't made to make money.  They're amateur productions just made by people who love the show.  They don't, in fact can't, sell the movies they make, and spend a great deal of their…

…that actually might be the one insurmountable problem.  KHAN was sort of the exception that proves the rule.  None of the other movies have been "great," they range from "good" to "shit."

Why is it entertaining to watch something stupid?  Is it just the flashing lights and explosions?  This started out as snide, but I'm seriously curious.  I like fun SF.  It's not like I demand it to be cold, sterile, austere.  But that movie blew and whenever I ask someone why they liked it, I never get a rave, I…

Nah, we can dislike that stuff too.  But to my eyes, that's mostly "bad Star Trek."  (Of which there is a LOT.)  The reboot was beyond bad in that a) is really just a Star Wars movie and b) drags in some idiotic time travel history-changing mechanism that erases the other universe that'd been built up over forty…

I've read the fine print of my contract, and it turns out that I'm allowed to complain to the Internet about anything I want.

STAR WARS isn't science fiction.  STAR TREK is.

Well, I'm a D&D fan.  (At least I used to play it 25 years ago, so, I guess that makes me a fan.)  I'll complain about the one D&D movie I saw, it sucked.  But everyone else agrees that they suck.  I've never met a single person who enjoyed those except to laugh at them.

My point was that it was NOT fun.  It sucked.

"Yeah but JJ made Star Trek fun again!!!!"  [/moron]

Oh, thank goodness.  We wouldn't want any non-profit fan projects made at great personal expense solely out of love of the franchise get in the way of Mr. Abrams' upcoming steaming pile of shit.

I read somewhere he lost about 70 pounds, so, good on him.

Stop that.

Boy, that's a L-A-F-F riot.

Bah.  Pearls before swine, I tell ya.

Twilight for people with good taste!

This dogfight has happened before, and it will happen again.

I hated it because they handwaved every unexplained mystery as "God," then tried to wallpaper them over by repeating that stupid "It's about the characters" mantra.

At a certain point the showrunners decided that the Cylons weren't religious lunatics, as they'd been clearly depicted as from the start, but actually right all along.  That's when it began to suck.
