The only Marvel Netflix of which they have always spoken well were Daredevil, Jessica Jones and practically only the first season of "The Punisher".
Iron Fist, the less you speak the better it is. Luke Cage, I remember warm reactions and I don't think people are loudly asking for another...
The most recent news I found is October 2024 (all subsequent ones simply repeat it).
I think it's dead. You can't make the format work today without changing it fundamentally.
And, I mean, their idol showed up in their living room!
How would the average Star Trek fan react if the literal Captain Kirk (not Shatner, Kirk!) materialized in front of them?
I'm not trying to paint (and I don't think I ever did) the entire 50s in the US as a hellish circle. I'm very sure that there were people who were very happy with the way society was.
But I think that most of them happened to be male, white, straight and wealthy.
Exactly. Of course, not all women had it like Revolutionary Road. I'm pretty sure that for some, that life was just fine. The problem was for those who wanted more. They were simply stuck in the role that society had imposed on them.
By the way, great movie.
I'm sure there were happy women back then, but we can't paint an entire society with anecdotes. And if the 50s were such an idyllic and happy time, what were the various civil rights movements and second wave feminists, a bunch of lunatics complaining about nothing?
Just watched the USS Callister sequel. Shouldn't we have a thread about how this is ABSOLUTELY INSULTING TO ALL THE POOR STAR TREK FANS like the other time? :biggrin:

Let me explain better what I meant to avoid misunderstandings.
Data, in the context of the episode, is incapable of romantic feelings. We can agree that it doesn't respect the character's history, but in the plot it is an...
So she was looking for something that was impossible to have. And the possibility of having it was the same from Data and from the soda machine .
I'm sure of it. But it's been said repeatedly in the episode (and the author confirmed it) that Data is completely incapable of offering a romantic...
Yep. Imagine if a psychologist on an aircraft carrier (I found out they exist) learned that a crew member wanted to start a relationship with a soda machine. Would they shrug and offer some generic advice, and only if specifically asked?
Because she's the ship's counselor and a crew member wants to pursue a relationship with the romantic equivalent of a replicator. A chat with Jenna would have been in order.
