News? Stories from Dubious Sources

Well, on the one hand you'd expect virtuous Star Trek characters, aka the Great and the Good, to care about the history of spaceflight. But on the other, you'd also expect them to detest the whole idea of free speech, like all Virtuous people. What to do, what to do?

A part of free speech is the freedom to call out people for uneducated vitriol, it's what separates us from fascist dictatorships.

praise Malcolm McDowell for killing off shatner

Im pretty sure Shatner is making fun of Miller. He deliberately misinterpreted Miller's criticism to be that they only have one pair of glasses for the entire bridge crew.

That would be on me then for misinterpreting

Shining a spotlight on the abysmal state of Star Trek by people like Musk and Miller and thus putting a little bit of pressure on Paramount and David Ellison is a good thing.
The comment about giving Shatner control of Star Trek is, of course, hyperbolic. It's about advocating for change.

Stephen Miller is a fan of classic Star Trek. I think he cares.

I think something went completely over your head. And if the point wasn’t clearly made, it never will be.

I have a shirt like that too.

I must care as well!

The ultimate irony is William Shatner is a liberal-leaning Jewish immigrant. He hits nearly every one of Miller's key hate demographics.

 

[Noname Given]

It’s laughable that anyone would want to cede control of the franchise over to a 94-year-old man who’s moved on with his life.

And remember what happened the last time we had Shatner in the Director’s chair? We got The Final Frontier. Hardly the benchmark for continued success.

But I’m not surprised a certain poster eagerly shared that whole pointless conversation. Par for the course.

You realize William Shatner wasn't being at all serious with that Xitter post, right?

But Miller was, that was my point. Anyone with half a brain knows Shatner has no direct involvement with his twitter account anyways.

Uh, spoilers?!?

 

[Steve Roby]

I originally posted "Contender for dick move of the day." Perhaps a trifle rude. But this is not the thread and not the forum for a spoiler post about an episode most of us haven't had a chance to watch yet.

As one of my coworkers found out several years ago. He thought he was having a DM conversation with Shatner and had arranged an interview with him for Diamond's website at a convention, but the actual conversation with his assistant (named Christopher, IIRC), and Shatner knew nothing about it. Colleague did not get an interview.

This needs a spoiler tag.

Sorry I'll delete the post.
I was under the assumption it didn't matter, since everyone seems to hate nuTrek.

Thank you. But please don’t make assumptions, on either the rules or people’s opinions.

Everyone hates it yet insists upon watching it because...

Just because you're going under a false assumption doesn't mean that you are free to spoil stuff for other people.

How is it a false assumption?
It was my true assumption.
My assumption was wrong, that's why I deleted the post. But I wouldn't call it a false assumption, that's terrible grammar.
I'm sorry, I know my crime caused the American invasion of Greenland and the dissolution of NATO.

Saying 'everyone seems to hate nuTrek' is not a statement of opinion. It is a statement of opinion that is incorrectly worded as if it were a fact. Hope that helps.

I go out for a few hours and this happens.
