Re: Lower Decks to end in Season 5

Comparing terrestrial broadcast shows and cable/streaming is like comparing apples and oranges. They’re completely different markets. Traditional terrestrial shows have usually been 22-26 episodes because they’re trying to build a syndication package for affiliates interested in purchasing for rerun...

Re: For All Mankind

Things don't change much is always a plausible outcome, but who wants to read stories where nothing really changes? That and it's just a TV show, with nerds having fun toying with history. That's just the nature of what if stories, you're supposed to have fun with it to an extent. Like Ron Moore ac...

La'an: "This won't make any sense..."
Chuck: "But you'll grow up to become Benedict Cumberbatch."

:lol:

Also, fuck me that it's already been 15 years since the first Kelvin film. Even weirder to think that around that time 15 years ago was 1994.

Re: Film: Serenity

3) Killing Wash? No. Just no. And it was such a Tasha Yar death as well. No meaning to it, no heroism. He just dies and the film moves on save for the bit with the dinosaurs. No heroism? He got the crew to the signal they needed to get to just before dying. Without his skills, they would have never...

Re: Strange New Worlds

As another poster said, there's a huge difference between making an allegory of a contemporary event, and flat out having the current event in Star Trek. What if in "Let that be your Last Battlefield" Kirk had made Bele and Lokai watch the "I Have a Dream" speech? The attitudes of 1969 were such th...

Re: The Christmas Episode

Wild that it's been 14 years since I started watching those early video reviews of VOYAGER. I think a few reviews of ENTERPRISE were already up by then, so it seemed at the time that the channel I had subscribed to then was basically funny commentary on bad/mediocre Trek. Chuck has come a long way. ...

Re: DC to be rebooted under Gunn

Lets be honest about this: Snyder was a colossal mistake. Absolute ''Titanic going too fast into the iceberg without binoculars'' level fuck up. No one wanted a dark Superman. Absolutely no one. Completely missing the point of the character. But that is what he gave us. That is what he started the ...

Re: Avatar 2

Though the first film was a visual achievement, I never connected to the story or characters in the way I had with his previous films. For that reason it ranks at the bottom of Cameron's films (having not seen PIRANHA II: THE SPAWNING). I walked out of AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER thinking it was Camero...

Re: Should James Cameron's Avatar Films Be Classified as Animated Movies?

The first film won an Oscar for cinematography. I’m still conflicted about that, because it’s like if someone won awards for excellent photography, but the actual work is a painting.
