Re: The Elysian Kingdom (SNW)
I imagine her feelings on the subject were complex. Including possibly the fact she considered the Cardassian High Command as guilty and deserving of punishment as everyone but not thinking the civilians deserved what happened to them. Kira remained a fascinating unique individual because she was fi...

Re: Perfect show for SF Debris to talk about
There's so much Chuck would be awesome to discuss and got delayed on.
I'm just glad he's gotten much of it back up after the disaster(s).

Re: Hamas Attacks Israel
yeah, it's weird the extremes of the argument.

Re: [TNG/DS9] Wesley Crusher should have had Bashir's plot
I think part of the reason no one accepted Wesley's intelligence was so much vaster than everyone else's was because, well, you'd think the flagship would already be populated with a bunch of geniuses.

Re: I like when a Cool Intimidating Villain is Metaphorically Castrated In a sequel, adaptation, reboot or remake.
Correct, we are in complete agreement about Utena. We just differ on Vicious. Yeah, my take on Vicious being a bad handling in the show is the fact that the Netflix version's biggest problem is that it removes a great deal of pressure from Spike Siegal. When he's talking about the fact that he like...
