Re: Name your biggest SF pet peeve, please?

It's hard for me to say what my biggest SF peeve is, I've got several and just about all of them have been brought up already. Even when a story (in whatever form) has already peeved me I can still suspend my disbelief and enjoy it if it manages to be clever, creative, well acted, well written or in...

He is the most superior Chuck (sorry Norris.)

Re: Ranting about Babylon 5's "Sic Transit Vir" (spoilers)

Pretty sure JMS wrote this episode, I have mixed feelings about it. I've never been a fan of JMS's comedic writing, aside from some nice character moments here and there (particularly the stuff between Dr Franklin and Marcus in season 4) it either felt too forced or the one-liners wern't very good. ...

Re: Do gangsters have a different taste in movies?

That's a pretty interesting question and one I've asked myself. Since I don't think there are any gangsters on this forum I don't think any of us can properly answer your question.

Re: Media (movies or TV shows) you like but everyone else hates?

I'm with Clearspira on Waterworld, I found it quite enjoyable. I like a lot of 80's movies that critics and audiences hated at the time, like Spies Like Us and Dragnet. They're dated and not very PC but I find them funny and entertaining. I have a softer spot for Alien 3 than most, I love David Finc...

Or a Cyberpunk joke.

Re: Will Chuck ever explain how he scores his episodes.

He's explained it a few times, he rates each episode from 1 to 10 relative to the overall quality of its series. For example an 8\10 episode of TNG might be a 5\10 episode of DS9, but as he disclaims, his reviews are based primarily on his own views and opinion. With non-Trek shows he tends to rank ...

Re: Most Hated characters in Sci Fi

I like this thread, I've seen some interesting and original opinions here, I don't quite agree with most of them but there's good points being made none the less. Star Trek: I didn't dislike any of the main cast, there's been a few one-shot characters who I've found annoying but that's about it. TNG...

Re: VOY - Virtuoso

"He's so much smarter than his co-worker Harry, about whom we know nothing!" lmao Weirdly, given how the people of Great Britain went nuts over Chinese, Indian, and Egyptian stuff in a row--I wouldn't be at all surprised this kind of happens all the time in the Federation. Same, although I think th...

Re: VOY - Virtuoso

Anyone see that Simpsons episode where Bart has a short fantasy about being resurrected in the future and the human race wants to make him their new God because he knows how to play with a yo-yo?

This is what this episode reminded me of and it doesn't feel any less silly. :P
