    Spoilers Marvel Cinematic Universe spoiler-heavy speculation thread

    That is why desperation acts don't always have to be bad things. Look at DS9. They added both the Defiant and Worf to improve ratings. While the ratings didn't improve, both the ship and Worf ended being good solid additions to the show. People seem to think bring Rogers back will sacrifice...

    Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

    I need to watch "Billions." People say it's good. Though I think it's got a reputation of being second rate in comparison to "Succession" back when they were both on at the same time.

    One of my favourite Bond movies. It's really good

    Official VIDEO Thread!

    I thought some were amusing. It also reminded me of 1981, when some audiences reacted to the following scene with wild applause and chuckling-for-the-right-reasons due to the number of carjackings going on. Bonus: (the whole movie is stuffed with first rate suspense and action scenes...

    The James Bond Film Discussion Thread (With Bonus Lazenby!)

    ...most hits were on broadcast TV 2-3 years after the theatrical release. For unknown reasons ALIEN took five whole years to debut on ABC, but ratings were low enough that the networks decided to run more original movies over time. Perhaps if Roger Moore as 007 had assisted the crew of the...

    Hey, I never noticed that before....

    The human eye can be fooled into seeing motion at about 10 images per second. Shooting "on twos" (every drawing shown twice) at 24 frames per second playback yields 12 images per second. If you drop to shooting on threes, at 24fps you're only seeing 8 distinct images per second and you can...

    Does Maurice Hurley deserve more credit for his Star Trek work?

    😃 :luvlove: Overal, yep. Maurice Hurley's ideas and contributions to the show (but not the actors!) are indeed underrated. Especially season 2 where there's a generally consistent feel and tone and reminder that outer space is a dangerous place. (Disclaimer: A novel will soon be following...

    Classic episodes now considered "lame" - ?!

    SPOCK: Thank you, Doctor. I was able to gather the meaning. ["Patterns of Force"] :vulcan: ;) I believe I got his point. But I believe the underlying premise of the debate (for which I asked for and received no clarification, so forgive me if I'm incorrect) was that if TOS had begun with...

    Classic episodes now considered "lame" - ?!

    ...is that if we're being honest, TOS was a failure in its original run. Well, perhaps failure is being too harsh. It did well enough to barely hang on for three seasons, but the ratings were never good and it was always a fight to get to stay on the air. TOS was only truly successful in...

    How bad is Andromeda?

    I had no idea Farscape ran at a loss. That’s really interesting to hear. Certainly, the production values were astonishing, they did such a job at creating a truly vivid universe; it was so rich, expansive, visually stunning and extremely alien. It definitely spoiled Trek for me back at the time...

    How bad is Andromeda?

    ...and industrial films. So they lost money on Farscape because it helped them make money in other ways. (Kind of like how NBC was able to keep Star Trek TOS on the air for three seasons despite its low ratings because it made their parent company RCA a profit by inspiring sales of color...

    YouTube has acquired the global broadcasting rights for the Oscars, including in the US.

    Yeah, I've thought about the downward trend of it in recent years, but there's a certain chance this decision might dwindle it even further. Youtube is not even what I'd call a streaming service in the traditional sense.

    Classic episodes now considered "lame" - ?!

    I dimly remember being torn between Star Trek and Bewitched on occasion, back in the dark days before VCRs spared us from such dilemmas.

    YouTube has acquired the global broadcasting rights for the Oscars, including in the US.

    Or ABC doesn't think the ratings are worth it now and no-one else is particularly interesting in picking it up. While has been a bit of increase in recent years. the long term trend of the ratings has been downwards. Big talk was made of the increase in viewers for 2025 to 19mil but 10 years...

    I thought about including it, but I'm not sure most people would consider the 1978 Bakshi film to be that authoritative. I'm going to try hard not to get into a TNZ territory, but I think it needs to be said that a lot of people don't understand the difference between politics and culture any...

    Yikes. I now feel bad for thinking Mon oncle François and the CAQ are as bad as Smith and the UCP. Don’t get me wrong, Frankie and the CAQ are pretty fucking bad. But they pale in comparison to what you’re describing. I guess I can only say “Bon courage” and hope these recall efforts prove...

    Talk is going around as to whether or not Danielle Smith would be able to make the jump to federal politics and take over from PP. If it would get her the hell out of Alberta, why not? Misery loves company, and she's unelectable on a federal scale. There aren't enough sociopaths in the country...
