Wait what? Paul Dini didn't even work on the Killing Joke adaptation!

Why do you think Calvin is a piece of wood? He's basically Obama as Superman.

Steve Shives: Which Star Trek Character has the most Wasted potential

I just saw this video earlier today and thought I'd share.

Edit: Uh, BBCode isn't working for some reason, sorry.

Re: Black Mirror: USS Callister

I generally don't like The Black Mirror for its nonsensically bleak and contrived take on technology's dangers, and this episode does have some... issues with the whole DNA thing being complete nonsense, but overall I did enjoy this episode. That said, I do think there's a case to be made for Daly's...

Re: Star Trek Beyond

I really loved this one, in spite of it's flaws, after thinking 2009 was too dumb to be considered really 'good' and skipping Into Darkness altogether once I learned about Cumberkhan. It's biggest problem is exactly what Chuck says, too: the script somehow manages to take Idris Elba as the main vill...

Re: Futurama - Where No Fan Has Gone Before

This is something that ''certain people'' on this forum don't get when talking about STD and PIC. The hopeful future of Star Trek meant a lot to us - including I might add, Martin Luther King. And now its gone. "Certain people" huh... Sounds an awful lot like "Those Fans" You know the ones. The one...

Re: Dragon's Lair (cartoon)

Honestly the latter two episodes is the quality I generally expect from 80s cartoons and the first episode seems to be the outlier. I also don't get the point of making Daphne (literally the only female character in these three episodes) completely incompetent like that. Like I'm not saying she has ...

Re: Heaven sent

That's another thing that bothers me: the Companions mostly had families that are just entirely left in the lurch like the writers just forgot about them--like Rory's dad and Amy's whole family, all of whom met the Doctor either at the wedding or after it. Are they just supposed to accept that the D...

Re: Heaven sent

God this episode is so good. I feel like the rest of the arc fell victim to this thing that Moffat always did, this thing where the departure of a companion always has to be them dying-but-not-actually-dying. He did it with Amy and Rory by having them sent back in time (despite the fact that it woul...

Re: DIS - Point of Light

No offense to the actor, but the character is awful. And the whole concept behind his species, even with the Short Trek retcon, is Brannon Braga levels of understanding evolution. A race so chronically terrified of everything, and which evolved from livestock at that, would either have had a specie...
