Re: The term "Mary Sue" needs to die.

ChiggyvonRichthofen, I contest your assertion that Rey's piloting skills don't make sense in the narrative. She plays simulators in her free time, she's gotten to intimately know space ships and their parts from her salvage work. As for her force work, I'll give you the lightsaber skill lack, but I ...

Re: Mimes

I disagree.

Think about the mime who saved Robocop. Or the mimes in the excellent Buffy episode "Hush".

Re: Paranoia Agent

...wait a sec!

If Lil Slugger is just the dark side of Maromi and the nation's desire to escape/abdicate responsibility, then why they heck was he so scared of a bunch of ghosts? How exactly do they pose a threat to him or his agenda?

Re: The V

I've got some friends who haven't seen V (or who have only seen the recent remake), and I was wondering, for a newcomer, would it be better to show them one night at a time, or take the binge watch approach?

Re: For Frell's Sake

They...they haven't always been there. The Alt-Right is a RECENT development. We've always had Nazi sympathizers, yes. Up until we got into the war, lots of preachers, mayors, and other pillars of the community said that Hitler was doing a jolly good thing and we could learn from his example. But I'...

Re: Articles of impeachment to be filed against Trump.

Regarding Pence, well, there is this. First, if Drumpf DOES get impeached, then Pence knows that there is a line in the sand he cannot cross. He will be tempered by the knowledge he can only get away with so much bullshit, whereas 45 continues to act in the belief that consequences and rule of law a...

I recognize that there are several avenues to oppose Nazis, some of them not involving direct action. However...
If you ignore them or tell them to get lost then their ideas can't be as easily defended.

Re: DS:9 "Extreme Measures"

Well, Chuck did bring up the idea that replicators use a raw-matter feed and reassemble/rework it instead of creating matter from pure energy. That would make them a bit more like 3D printers.

Re: The V

Can we please keep this crap out of the review forums? Alas, I'm not sure that we can. :( For example, V is an allegory about Nazis, and right now Nazis are a hot-button issue. Lots of Star Trek episodes have a political stance, however one-sided or poorly articulated, and that will lead to discour...
