    A few things to discuss about Kes

    Yeah. It's one thing to say, "what the writers did made me feel insulted" or, "it's like the writers set out to insult the audience," and something entirely different to outright accuse them of premeditation. Even when they had Kim's parents joking about him not having been promoted, I think...

    Spoilers All Things STAR WARS - News, Speculation & Spoilers Thread

    I joke that the breakthrough visual effects technique that should've been recognized by the 2015 visual effects Oscar was "lying." The Force Awakens and Fury Road both had ostentatiously false publicity campaigns about how they did everything for real, no CGI, blah, blah, bullshit, bullshit. The...

    News Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey

    Yeah--I remember reading the Iliad for the first time in my 30s and wondering what the hell happened to the Horse? Then I looked it up and discovered it was actually in Virgil's poem so had to add the Aenid to my reading list. Nobody told me there were multiple parts to the story. EDIT for...

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    Agreed. Injures him, I could live with. Maybe she should have broken his arm or something. With Starfleet officers, yes. I agree with Chakotay that Janeway needed to give the Maquis (Including B'Elanna) some leeway because they didn't sign up for this. But there's a difference between reducing...

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    ...to what B'Elanna did. The only ones who did worse things were Seska, Suder and Jonas. It's sad actually because he was never meant to be a joke. I guess that the original plan was that he should be a likeable guy, something like Geordi LaForge in TNG. I hate to wirte this but look what...

    A few things to discuss about Kes

    ...quarters for a couple days. And a heart to heart with Chakotay that if it happened again, he would brig her himself. Really. The memes make a joke of him. I think Q was messing with Picard a little. Why would a 50+ year old LTJG be on the Enterprise? That kind of officer would have been...

    The dad jokes video is funny. Now we know he was doing with her in that tent.

    The Most Disliked Episode of LDS, Finals - 2025 Edition...

    ...of a wan effort throughout. I don't buy at all the central story that Boimler and Rutherford think Mariner might be this evil operative or whatever. And they thought that joke about Mugato pronunciation had a lot more legs than it actually did. "Terminal Provocations" - 1 "Mugato, Gumato" - 3

    Yet, here you are posting about Jenna Ortega's private life.

    DC Cinematic Universe ( The James Gunn era)

    It’s an easy go to joke.

    LEGO Enterprise rumors

    I am so proud of this forum that this was posted yesterday and no one made THE joke.

    Star Trek: Generations at 30

    ...because it's charged with antiprotons and zapping it could destroy half the ship... then after a brief cutaway scene concluding the earlier pee joke and how Roddenb-- I mean Cochrane returns and doesn't want to be a commemorated statue, Worf aims and fires at the dish. I think it was about...

    Could Star Trek V been saved?

    ...had the biggest messages to make, but before I digress into that any further...) STV did improve, but turning the crew into doorknobs for cheap jokes is almost as crass as dumbing down the 'dults to make Wesley look smarter, which is the dumbest form of scripting... Ah, so Q or Trelane or...

    Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

    I have absolutely seen folks who played minor side roles or guest spots on a bunch of series show up at conventions to sell autographs. They're never the headliners and I'm fairly certain some cons won't let them set up at all, but it is definitely a thing that happens. Or at least it did in the...

    Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

    I never said Kurtzman was putting down fans. Or conventions. I was remarking on how his "joke" didn't really reflect the reality that he knows first-hand.

    Well, no one said the people making those jokes were young.

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

    ...managed to handle a lot more space fights without inducing the standby drama of 'Warp core going to explode", and I vaguely recall some jokes in the 90s about the big D being so fragile... then again, TNG is loaded with conduit coupler comments as well that don't quite add up unless the...

    90210 lends itself better to stupid jokes (NCC-90210, Stardate9021.0, that sort of thing) than titles of other teen angst shows like Party of Five, Dawson's Creek or The OC would.

    NFL 2025: A new era dawns?

    Was gonna joke about how the Chiefs saw what the Bears were doing and wanted in, but this has been going on for a while. The state of Kansas is trying to woo the Chiefs and the legislators will meet Monday to float hundreds of millions in bonds and sales taxes so they can build a domed stadium...
