Re: Which Creative Decision Hurt the Star Wars Disney Sequel Trilogy the Most?

Re: Tears of the Prophets

The Star Trek universe is very much influenced by our real world post the discovery of nuclear weapons. Every major nation absolutely has the ability to completely end us all, and our best hope for not having that happen is to cooperate with each other. And the problem is there's always someone lik...

Re: Hamas Attacks Israel

Re: The Continuity between Pre-Civil War Parties and their Modern forms
