And you don’t be a dickhead.  “Don’t get mad” “Just grow up”. Fuck you very much.

Ehh... I just tell by dishwasher to shower every evening.

Why didn’t you ask yourself that before writing this post? I think we can all agree we’d be in a better mood.

Yep, it’s a far cry from the days of Gina Trapani, Whiston Gordon, and Alan Henry. It’s just been circling the drain since Univision bought out GMG.

Fuck you, I’ll be mad about what I want to be mad about. Now I’m mad because you have the nerve to tell me what to be mad about.

You want another garbage fire like Solo? This is how you get another garbage fire like Solo...

It is... and it only gets worth as it moves from finances to health issues...

MURICA!!!

I know... it gets tougher and tougher.  She won’t listen to anyone that doesn’t align with what my FIL says on whatever topic is at hand. He knows it, and tries to avoid giving advice, but that’s pretty difficult when someone says “What do you think I should do?” to you over and over.

And I’ll go one better -- it’s entirely possible they evolve the character over time.  But so far, Mariner is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me...

It’s not a Kathleen Kennedy problem, it’s a JJ Abrams problem. He did the same thing with nuTrek...

Pretty much. FIL is always clear about the things he doesn’t know about, but Mrs. Snow Dog still thinks he knows everything better than everyone else. Example: we spent 3 years as expatriates in Mexico for my job:

So... How do I get Mrs. Snow Dog to stop requesting advice from unqualified people? Say, for example, her dad?

Yeah, I’m still fukken mad about it. What’s your problem? JJ Abrams has fucked up Star Trek and Star Wars.

Nope, no problem with strong, confident, determined women that speak up. Big problem with writing a character like they’re an 11-year old with ADHD that just ate a bag of pixie sticks, tho.

She doesn’t need to register for jack shit if she stays locked the fuck up where she belongs.

Seeing OG Spock smash things up in Amok Time or This Side of Paradise, or expressing his feelings in The Naked Time hit hard because they built up the conceit that Vulcans do not have emotions before that — by showing Spock not responding emotionally episode after episode, so when the emotion comes out, it packs a…

Sure, but all the Kelvinverse movies were so goddamned hamfisted...

In any kind of real world setting, some network exec would have said “This is a really bad idea, Alex” instead of greenlighting this.

The whole goddamned Kelvin timeline is full of garbage logic and ridiculous decisions. I think it’s too badly fucked to redeem.
