Re: Lower Decks - Second Contact
It often takes a SF show a while to get its legs. Considering that it's much harder to establish the rules of the world in SF, compared to normal drama in which everything that happens is supposed to be just as it is in real life, a certain amount of slack has to be given to the showmakers. I have ...

Re: Firefly: Serenity
I liked this show a lot, but one of the things that always bugged me was how...ambiguous the war was. I mean, until the movie beat us over the head with how EVIL the Alliance was, I never really got any kind of impression of what the Browncoats' cause even was supposed to be. I mean, they were figh...

Re: Star Trek Discovery: The Trouble With Edward
Exhibit A for anyone who wants to argue that Star Trek writers have no idea what a leader is supposed to actually do. What makes it worse is that it seems as if the audience is expected to take her side. I mean, Chuck's right that comedy is subjective, but there's a difference between dark humor an...

Re: Star Trek: Into Darkness
Take it from me. I'm an old, loyal fan, and I haven't come back for STD, the reboot movies... I don't intend to come back for STG either. I haven't seen a single episode of those either. I haven't even seen SF Debris's episodes. What I know he's said comes from others. Then by not watching Star Tre...

Re: Star Trek: Into Darkness
The first film left me leery of number two. Into Darkness convinced me to not even bother with number three even on cable. The trailers didn’t help number three’s case. The third one is much better than the first two. Different writers. Actually feels like Star Trek, and has a message that wouldn't...

Re: Star Trek: Into Darkness
Okay, even if you can explain why Khan LOOKS different in this movie and nothing like Montalban, there's zero explanation of why his characterization is completely different. With Montalban, Khan was a passionate, regal, proud man of elegance and sophistication. He carried himself with theatricalit...

Re: Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Honestly I think it was just cause Nina called Edward Big Brother in general that was what clicked the horrifying realization, but the aspect that everyone assumed Ed to be the little brother being a major clue was an aspect that never really occurred to me before that is rather neat to consider. T...

Re: Justice League Unlimited 'Clash'
Two things that made this episode so powerful? Right up till the scene with Luthor and Waller celebrating? Your viewpoint never let in that this was a set up. Sure we all know Luthor, but the longer it went on, the more you were thinking: "Am I being like Superman, overly paranoid?" From what I reca...
