Does Spock have an irrational love of hamburgers and junk food?
You're gonna have to expand on this analogy. Sounds like the usual "dumbed down" argument with Archie grafted on. Only I don't think you're familiar enough with Archie to make it work.
It may be beneficial for you WattsNoo, to read over several of the discussion threads that can be found on this forum. Arguments about the intellectual level of STiD have been ongoing for some time, with some rather good points made by both sides.
My point is that you may find it difficult to generate discussion on a new thread, but I may be wrong.
In any case, welcome and the person I am quoting is in bold letters at the bottom of my sig.
Where's Reggie? McCoy, maybe? Then again, Reggie and Archie are rivals, not friends. I guess Cupcake would be Moose? Is Pike Mr. Weatherbee?
If it were like Archie comics, then Kirk would be torn between Uhura and Marcus. Uhura would have money and culture, and likes Kirk but dates around (especially Reggie), while Marcus is the all-American girl next door who is the one who really likes Kirk. Spock would spin folksy homilies in between bites of cheeseburgers. Bear in mind Veronica (Uhura) doesn't care much for Jughead (Spock).
The one thing Archie and Kirk do have in common is Archie sacrificed his life for a friend, and Kirk sacrificed his for his ship and crew.
Beyond that, I just don't get the analogy/comparison as proving STID was dumbed down.

He is a member on this board. He commented on your other thread
Your analogy is the thing that doesn't work. Grafting Archie Comics on to the dumbed down argument. Again you're not familiar enough with Archie to carry the argument past an opening salvo.
Hmmm.
