Someone from the underwater squad would be perfect. maybe Okasian...

Joy of Sex — maybe 12 or 13 yo. Nothing like pencil drawings (70’s style) to turn you off sex till the 80’s, when Duran Duran’s “Rio” brought it into technicolor.

I loathed it. I was happy to finally out it down. Made peace that maybe I wasn’t intelligent enough to get the wit and brilliance, so be it.

Castor Sotto was the best part of that season.

First, I’m leery of what almost anybody says on social media, kids or not, i09 being one of the few places where I feel like people actually communicate with each other. People spew a lot of hate online. As for white people (males especially) being increasingly discriminated against... this is tough because there’s…

Awesome. We need to fall in love with the future again. I’m personally done with dystopia.

“More girls were killed in the last 50 years, precisely because they were girls, than men killed in all the wars in the 20th century. More girls are killed in this routine gendercide in any one decade than people were slaughtered in all the genocides of the 20th century.

I teach at university and racism, sexism, and homophobia seem to on their way out. They’ll be holdouts, just like people who don’t believe we landed on the moon, but it’ll be a limited number.

Amen. When do we go full Star Trek, with a fitted jacked over a fitted shirt?

For me, it’s like when I see the Greek Pantheon used to tell a story and they get the names right... Zeus, Athena, Aphrodite, etc. but they know almost nothing about Ancient Greece or the Pantheon. Zeus is an arrogant hothead, Hera a cold bitch. Yawn. I felt like J.J. was playing with all the Star Trek “toys” but…

Hats.

I thought she prayed to Artemis? I like the myth better if it’s not her father who turns her for some reason.

8) Star Trek: Into Darkness

GOT is always a humbling experience... you throw in thousands of Ivy League grads, billions in military equipment, dubious ethics, dozens of plots and you have Game of the Middle East. A “game” that can’t be won. I read almost this entire thread and then I’ll read a political thread and the same points are made.

Poop (there it is)

Long live Napoleon Chagnon!

Lars von Trier won’t be happy till we’re all sad.

Exactly, I want them to experience it. So Z’s and Y’s... sit down with “The Greatest American Hero” and “Mr. Merlin” and watch one episode, watch nothing else, one on Wednesday and the other on Friday, then wait a week and repeat.

It's a generation thing... I think if you're Gen X or older, you remember what it was like in the 60's, 70's and 80's when the books were amazing, but TV and movies were sporadic at best. Now... Mad Max and The Avengers open in the same month. The same month! Oh, and Orphan Black restarts, there's Game of Thrones, and…

I keep reminding myself that it's J.J. and Star Trek, and Chapters I-III, and just tamp it down... but damn, hearing Luke, the mention of Leia, and seeing Han and Chewie and I'm in. Screw the summer, bring on Christmas.
