Re: The Final Star Wars Trailer

I mean, I've said over and over I want Star Wars, like Star Trek, to be put into the public domain. Copyright IP is now a shield to keep the decaying Hollywood going, like a corpse hooked up to a heart monitor. I am in complete agreement. Corporate IP ownership is an anathema to me and a form of un...

Re: The difference between TNG & STD

I've seen this one, although to be fair a "Short Trek" is one of those things they pretend is relevant to DIS but is really just a cheap way to keep the sycophants satiated whilst letting writers cut their teeth. The whole idea of "sketches" in this setting repulses me in a way I find difficult to d...

Re: They Live (1988)

I'm first and foremost a Roddy Piper fan, so I love "They Live". I'll have to give this a look-see.

Re: The Final Star Wars Trailer

Brand new characters that people hate because they only want to see they old favorites. They are kinds forced to use old characters and same plots because that's what audience wants. See how badly pretty much every brand new character in sequel trilogy have been taken and how much some people hate ...

Re: I need help to reconfigure the Stargate devices (fanfiction discussion)

Anything you do will have to be based on a contrivance, so why not just keep it simple and use the "omega" particles? It can be your standard answer for basically anything. The best kind of techno-babble would be, I guess, to imply some kind of quantum entanglement linking each Stargate to another (...

Re: The Final Star Wars Trailer

The fact remains that there is an eager audience for a continuation of 'Legends'. The reason Disney aren't going with two separate continuities is because 'Canon' doesn't have it's own continuity. The audience is being, essentially, asked to pay for a slightly distorted and paired-up retelling of th...

Re: The Final Star Wars Trailer

I'm not going to patronise anything JJ Abrams is associated with. It could be the best film ever and I still wouldn't buy a ticket.

There an episode where we meet the people who made the Kazon a power and we were presented with that possibility... and it doesn't happen. I believe Chuck (and the Agony Booth) noted that was probably the moment that Berman-era Trek died. There were films, there was Enterprise, but they were all th...
